In the first clip, lane 8 and 1 arent down. In clip 2 lane 3 isnt down... Why shame the officials for this when the athletes arent set? Should they start the race and just dq the people who missed the que? You have to have your fingertips touching the blocks. Change title to, why are athletes missing queues?
I agree with you in general. However, you dont have to have the fingertips touching anything. One foot has to be over the front, but hand placement is not a rule.
yeah. you don't have to touch the block. a guy can dive in with his hands in streamline like an 8 and under as long as they don't move during the "take your marks". but something is weird if half the heat cant hear the starter. like if lanes 1/8 are both up, one of those lanes is literally right next to the starter. probably could've used a "quiet for the start" there
