I always love athletes getting interviewed right after they exert themselves. It's like "yeah let me just use the few breaths I have left in my body for your interview" 😆
I know im late but I just did this last weekend. I had to push a car of mine that doesn't run off the dolly for the mechanic, and then tell him what's wrong with it right afterwards. Closest I've came to relating to this.
Does this count? What are the rules? Do your feet have to cross the finish line first or can it be any part of you? Did this guy just rewrite the rule book??
You must be a manic depressive infested weak individual with no confidence surrounded by suicidal crack addicts just plodding through life with a sad outlook on life living in your mum’s basement with no outlook on life just drinking yourself into a stupor every night …..apart from that I bet your a really nice guy and I totally agree with you! 😂😂😂😂
nah....diving is stupid....it stops you from pushing forward as you are in the air....one more step is one more push of forward force instead of slowing down from air resistance.
@@robjohnson9270when you run you are pushing up against gravity as well as away from the ground to move forward, when you dive you direct potentially marginally more force forward and less upward hence the falling. so technically there’s more forward movement and no upward movement, like in a free body diagram. and as others said it was likely due to the appearance that he was stumbling also, a prone body has less air resistance than a standing body when traveling forward. not that it makes any difference in the last fraction of a second in the race
He definitely jumped because he was falling. It preserved the win over simply stumbling and falling, but it would not be a useful strategy to plan in advance.
@@geordiejones5618 I had a race where we are meant to pick a cone. It was slippery and the guy had a better start. We were running the same speed so I never catched up to him, was an arm lenght behind him for the entire run. Anyway, it was on the grass, and at the end, I falled... I never intended to do so... but I launched myself towards the cone, which was on my right, exactly where the guy was running towards, and I got it :D I was all dirty afterwards but yeah. I didn't want to lose, and never intended to throw myself, but yeah who knows. I won ofc :D Everyone suprised. Especially since I was the quite kid lol there were eliminatinos too ofc like 10 of them but yeah. Fun times - ish except the social aspect lol
That made me think of Lightning McQueen sticking his tongue out to be the first over the finish line, and me as a kid thinking, "Does...Does that count?"
I saw this video 7 days ago, and I have been laughing ever since, I had to go to the doctors to get it sorted, but when I showed the doctor this video he couldn't stop laughing, and now he's off sick
Depends....maybe it was keeping the options open. He could become infinite succes but when he was a kid I bet his parents also called him infinite pain in the a$$😂
An interesting problem for a physics class: the instant he took his last stride, his body actually began slowing down- but by stretching forward, he was going faster, in a sense. Not question that he won, but I suspect he would have won anyway if he'd continued striding. Same question about a baseball player sliding head-first into first base...
Talk about I'm going to win no matter what it takes by any means necessary. What a competitor. That's what I'm talking about man. Gave it his all when I say he gave it his all
He did a raw unprotected flip just after noticed exactly wtf was going on in the next lane at the finish line. Seeing that dive must have blew his mind.
Runner's brain: Should I keep running and preserve my health and lose or should I just throw myself over the line and risk to break several bones and win? Option 2 sounds better
that's my confusion too. I was under the impression the time was scored from the feet or chest. otherwise why wouldn't literally every sprinter be diving hands first at the line?
It’s based on when your chest/torso crosses. So if you pause between 0:40 - 0:41 you can see the guy in lane 4’s chest crossed first before the guy in lane 5. Most sprinters do lean forwards at the end of the race! But you have to be careful about the timing of it/how much you lean since it could slow you down! It’s usually not ideal to fully dive since that’s time spent not being propelled by your legs, you actually start decelerating in a dive. And also even besides that, you can get hurt, tracks really aren’t made for that kind of thing. Especially if you’re a professional, it’s not worth the risk. It ended up working out for this guy though!
You don't know. Did his legs ran out then? You don't know. I did this too, and I wouldn't have won if I wouldn't have jump slide to get the thingy on the floor in yard in the sport I was doing.
I don't know what's funnier: that he dives over the finish line to win first, that the other idiot fell at the same time, or that he landed flat on the track like a dead noodle. hahaha
Someone has clearly never been a serious running competitor. Falling over the line could easily be a sign of your legs giving out when you try to stop because they have nothing left, it could be a delayed reaction to the response of someone else’s lean (or dive in this case) where you give a desperation attempt a little too late because you’re tired as hell, or honestly any number of things. An idiot? Nope. That would be you.
@@christophercarle111 Exactly. I'm not a serious runner but I've experiecned this and I did the same as that guy, except it wasn't sprinting but well, it was sprnting but it was to get a thingy off the floor and I was also behind, and on the left, while the other guy was aligned with the thingy so I just jumped his way and won by getting that thingy off the floor first. Was very interesting.
I'm not sure how I feel about this because if you want to you could take the position of, "Well he's cheated because you should be running over the finish line and NOT diving like Superman across it." I'm guessing there's nothing in the rules to say you aren't allowed to do that though because the result still stood did it not?
That launch and subsequent takeoff reminded me of those old-school cartoons when the characters could transform into a rocket 🚀 or a speedboat 🚤. Hey, come to think of it, he could actually be one of the Transformers. Wassup, Bumblebee🐝?!
to anyone interested, diving doesnt help. If anything you lose all your momentum. He won because he was ahead at the end of the race not the from the dive.
Not cheating, the rules say what matters is for your torso to cross, plus if you dive too early you slow down, this only works if you are able to jump at the last possible moment
the dive was unnecessary. He would've won regardless. Instead he risked getting disqualified and getting injured. Not very smart. My coaches would have been mad at me.
You do realize that when running, your legs are in the air simultaneously right? Running is in effect a series of controlled leaps. This man leapt throughout the race and did a last one to make it over the line.
He dove... bc he lost his footing and was about to fall.... I prob woudve done the samething.. he didn't just dive to dive... lol.. he clearly was about to fall
Watching the Olympics and now this, you get why the Americans are so great at races. They’re brought up to believe you gotta do absolutely anything to get across that line first. In the sporting context it’s absolutely incredible to watch.

Think he dove because he knew he was stumbling and gonna go down. Regardless, hellava move!
he literally explains why he jumped
@@TrentSteeze yes but was he lying to hide that he tripped.
It looked that way to me too. Seemed like he overran himself and was falling forward then amazingly dove for the line instead.

Does this count? What are the rules? Do your feet have to cross the finish line first or can it be any part of you? Did this guy just rewrite the rule book??

That's humanity❤
They're team mates.
I love his wit. He played it off well.
"I gave it a hug." 🤣
Honestly I've wondered why more sprinters haven't done this on close races. Lol
Because the ground is like sandpaper
