@@kc5466 I understand, but usually, a false start isn’t intentional. A false start is going to happen regardless, so all the rule does is create more tension for the athletes, and it disappoints viewers who want to see the best race. But then again that’s just my opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@doloresramirez5683 a false start isn’t intentional because of the current rule. But if changed to a warning many people will false start simply because they want to get a perfect start by anticipating when the gun goes off. Precisely why they changed the rules in the first place. The athletes weren’t reacting to the gun. They were reacting to the anticipation of the sound of the gun. And false starts can throw people off their game. Especially the really nervous or pressured ones.

The athlete to her left did flinch, so by the rules she shouldn't have been disqualified regardles of the noise

I think the runner in white next to her flinched first.

If you look closely, the person in the lane next to Amusan twitched , which may have led to Amusan reaction before the gun went off.

I still haven't gotten over that. It was ridiculous that he was DQ.

Whatever the case may be this really has nothing to do with Toby Amusan as she doesn't make or enforce the rules. If there's any issue at all it's with the officials. Leave Toby out of this.

One & done rule is terrible to begin with. Additionally, the starter should have reset the field before the false start, too many people were moving & the blocks are supposed to show that. Just a mess all around.

look at the other girl left of Amusan, she had a kind of mouvment which engage possibly this false start and maybe consequently Amusan start

Just never ever been with that 1 start crap for me that's insane especially in the "Big Races"!!! Amen 🙏!!!

the time between set and the pistol start should just be much longer, that way its much much harder to false start.

The person next to her flinched first….

Its crazy that you dont at least get one warning if you cause a false start. I feel like thats not really fair.

Come to think of it, the severity of false start DQs may have robbed the sport of a 4th sub 9.70 from Usain Bolt. He was undoubtedly in supreme shape in 2011 and the ease with which he won the semis and other heats suggested he was probably as fit as he was in 2008 and 2009. Although, Blake only won in 9.92 so maybe the conditions weren’t conducive to very fast times.

Isn't there a world class men's hi-hurdler who naturally sways enough to set off the false start alarms in the starting blocks? I've watched races with him in it, no false starts noticed, but just the way he sways a little bit while in the "set" position gets him flagged quite often. They usually let him continue, just keep someone's eyes focused directly on him to make sure he doesn't jump the starting gun.

The officials should explain before anybody speculates.

Truly sketchy things.

I’m no Amusan fan, but lane 4 twitched

lame 1 looked like a false start

They shouldn't be upset about her. Be upset about the referees and their decisions!

First of all the crowd has NOTHING to do with it. As an ex athlete in both track and football the crowd is generally drowned out during performance. And there is NO WAY that a crowd full of people (athlete or not) reacts before you and makes you react. It’s literally impossible as a professional sprinter. But I’d give her the return based on the other girl’s flinch for sure.

1.Its up to the main starter to enforce that or charge it to the entire field and the next false start is out. 2. Amusan wasnt the first to move...technically the false start came from the runner to her left. that lady flinched enough to be considered a false start.

I know there are rules but I don't go to a stadium to watch an official. I'm there to watch the athletes and in some cases a super star. Therefore, I have no problems with a restart. That's just my two cents opinion.

I agree with the one-and-done rule, but I disagree with the reaction time rule. I think there should be no reaction time limit after the starter gun is triggered.

Crowd noise.. what crowd?…

I hate the current rule. It is unfair. Its like telling high jumpers the first time you jump the bar off you are done. No room for a mistake in a human sport. Plus the reaction time rule also needs to be addressed. DQing an athlete for a reaction time of 0.099 is ridiculous.

Then it turns into a mind game knowing you can get away with one (then another runner does it). Thus, ruining an on the edge max effort launch when it does go.

tbh iv never been a fan of the change to the "one and gone" for false starts and even moreso when the "false start" is so close to being a legal start within a few thousandths of a second which happened last year, i think a certain amount of leeway should be allowed as when its that close to legal its not something u can really cheat at

When they take out there best via a false start, who they going send to the Olympic? Kmt. In bob Marley voice, chase those crazy bald head out of town... Tobi Amusan a number 1 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

False starters are annoying, but I feel like the rules right now are too strict anyway. So, I'll never fault officials for allowing her to run.

I like it when officials err on the side of the athlete when there is a reasonable chance to do so.

Thought I heard something before the gun, but could be audio feed. Think one and done should be done away with. Too much goes into athletes getting to these events. Bad for the sport.

Watch the official in the background move ...

Crow noise? Look at how empty it is... and watch a football match in Turkey or champions league.

She obviously false started and should have been disqualified.

It does look like she false started

False start decisions are up to the discretion of the starter. If the starter heard the same noise Amusan did then it would be understandable for them to not penalize the athletes.

Pretty sure the crowd noise was incredibly loud when Usain Bolt false-started and was eliminated from a world championship final!

They should go back to the old rules. Then the fans don’t miss out when someone like Devon Allen is unfairly DQed from the world championship final for a 0.099s reaction time.

Stupid questions, as usual. We don't know if there was a gunshot in the crowd. If there was, then Amusan should have been allowed to run.

Tobi continues to stir the pot

False start so she should have been eliminated. However, if the judge said that she could race again, that's not her fault. Maybe he took the runner next to her twitching, into account?

How fast did she run with a -2.1m/s wind

The fix is in!!!!! So the officials asked her what happened, then forgave her???? Geeezzzz!!

whenever i go to your videos there are some videos that don't show up such as this one.

She's nervous about getting caught doping.

they should be upset.

The people in the comments are saying someone flinched and caused her to false start…so you guys are going to override amusan’s own explanation?

While I respect Tobi Amusan as an athlete and appreciate her dedication to her sport, I must express my disappointment regarding the false start incident. It's understandable that athletes may encounter distractions during competitions, such as noise from the background. However, in such situations, it's important for athletes to maintain composure and handle the circumstances professionally. In this case, when faced with the noisy background, there were established protocols that could have been followed. Amusan could have signaled to the officials about the disturbance, allowing them to address the issue and potentially restart the race. By not taking this course of action, it raises questions about the adherence to the rules and the fairness of the competition for all athletes involved. Maintaining the integrity of the sport is paramount, especially in regions where athletes may face additional challenges or biases. It's crucial for athletes to take responsibility for their actions and acknowledge any mistakes made. This not only upholds the professionalism of the sport but also sets a positive example for others, promoting fairness and sportsmanship. While I remain a supporter of Tobi Amusan and her endeavors, I believe it's important to address instances where errors are made and strive for improvement. Constructive criticism and accountability are essential aspects of growth, both as individuals and within the sporting community.

Your final option as it relates to your multiple choice response is very correct. The dubious decision was in no way assuaged by the Nigerian studio response of the sports' commentator. He seemed to have been derailed from commenting on the issue; all these factors lining up to provide a less than convincing picture to viewers. The marketing power of elite athletes may become the bane the industry's rule of law; this is especially true for developing states. We must be careful of this slippery slope, the bright future of athletics is being weighed in the balance.
