This is an optionally enforced rule for causing problems with other lanes that was used at the wrong time. Thanks for pulling out frat party from no where as it isn't slighly relevant to the video.

I can't believe judges did this and stuck to this decision. That so stupid to disqualify an athlete like that. He didn't interfere with anybody, his teammate had already finished his race, that "during a heat" part of the rule was completely dismissed somehow.

He did not interfere with another competing swimmer. His teammate had finished his race, so Owen did not cause any problems to him when he was racing. - Rule 2, Section 5, Article 1b: "A swimmer who changes lanes during a heat shall be disqualified." Ambiguous. If you take "heat" as a race which ends when every athlete has finished their swim, then rule applies. However, both swimmers in those 2 lanes had already finished their races, which means the heat for them was over. They were no longer a part of the heat. But the thing is, instead of blindly following the rules, especially when they're not oh so clear, you should rely on the initial intent that rules were written for, and basic reason, after all. Many times rules are not perfect - in the end they are written by people and could be very flawed

Stupid rules like this are what kills the fun for a lot of people. When watching some of the older, more obscure sports (not necessarily talking about swimming here), they always have dumb rules that were made in the 80s and never changed for no reason. Seriously, this rule serves no good purpose. You shouldn't get punished because you and your teammate finished before some guy 3 lanes away it's dumb. If the lane he jumps to doesn't have an active swimmer, there is no reason to get him disqualified.

They enforced the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. The rule is meant to prohibit swimmers from interfering with others. The swimmer finished in the lane his leg went into.

@@ZeMeatMuncher ok well hes a f 49 then.

- Rule 2, Section 5, Article 1a: "Any competitor who interferes with another swimmer DURING a race shall be disqualified from that race, subject to the discretion of the referee..." - Rule 2, Section 5, Article 1b: "A swimmer who changes lanes DURING a heat shall be disqualified." The rule set states DURING. Unless there's a ruling that states youre in the race still after you finish. For example, you cant get out of the pool at all until all lanes are done. BOTH lanes were finished. there is no way there is interference to any of the lanes he was in. he should get a lawyer to have this overturned. Thats life and career changing bull **** right there.

its the fact that the crowd the other contestants and even the live announcers dont agree with the decision that really gets me, everyone knows the judges are in the wrong but the judges

I just imagine the NCAA Officials smiling as he's breaking down. Legit scumbags for doing this.

It's most likely retaliation towards NC State by disgruntled ACC members. NC State has the current head of the ACC and all the big schools (Clemson, UNC, FSU) have a grudge against him for various reasons related to other sports​@@rustytutton9473

@@oberpenneraffe.. I knew a tennis player who had a promising career ahead of her but just could not reach the top. She talked to a top coach who asked her what she would do if she saw her best friend on the ground, badly injured and begging for help. The woman said that she would stop and help. The coach told her that was the reason that she would never be a top flight player because they understand that the only thing they can think about is personal success. Nothing else mattered, and it appears that the team mate understood that the door of opportunity had opened for him.

Well his heart is in the right place but he was wrong to "defend" Lloyd. This implies that him being disqualified is at least potentially someone else's fault. That isn't the case. Lloyd disqualified himself and there is nothing that could be done about it. It is terrible and upsetting but, there is no injustice to right here.

​@@joshuamorrison8332so I've seen a lot of people say that the Rule Lloyd broke is a discretionary rule which means the judges could've decided not to count it as in this case it didn't interfere with Ross who had already finished but they still decided to enforce the rule.

Most people don't realise just how good a friend and/or sport the other guy was. At 0:43, when it happens, you can see the friend notice it, tell him "Dude.." and literally try to PUSH him back to his own lane. He even tries to be discreet about it with the camera there, which he awkwardly smiles at.

"interference with another swimmer."? the other swimmer was already finished. What an absurd rule, and for a referee to invoke this rule in these circumstances, he should not be a referee.
