Damn man it's always heartbreaking to watch people get kicked out of the race for false starting. All that training and sacrifice to live your dream for it to end like that. I think the rule is too harsh. :(

it used to be 1 for the field and the next person your gone but tthey changed it
i remember the 96 100m race, when bolt false started then linford christie and christie the defending champ was kicked out

Why do u keep coming back to this when Bolt himself said he couldn't go any faster tonight that his body wouldn't allow it. What's the issue here? He still destroyed the field and I didn't say anything negative about his performance :pachaha:

because of the headwind

They gotta change that false start shyt back to 2 instead of 1. Dude was an idiot for trying to jump the gun but bouncing dudes for 1 false start is crazy to me.
