Hurdler Infinite Tucker dives over finishing line to win race
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2019
- A Texas A&M hurdler took first in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2019 SEC Track & Field Championships by leaping across the finish line and landing on his face. Infinite Tucker, a junior from Long Island, became a viral sensation as video of Saturday's remarkable finish made its way around social media. Tucker, who finished second in the same race in 2017, held the lead after the final hurdle, but lost his advantage to teammate Robert Grant a few steps later. As the two approached the finish line, Tucker leapt forward, extending his arms to win the race. 'Look, I closed my eyes over hurdle 10. I opened it, saw my ma at the finish, and I jumped to give her a hug,' Tucker told ESPN after the race. 'That's all it is.' Tucker braced his fall, somewhat, with his hands, but the majority of the impact seemed to be absorbed by his face. Grant knelt over him for a moment after the race before training staff could tend to Tucker, whose time of 49.38 was the best collegiate mark of the year. Aggies coach Pat Henry had previously warned Tucker against jumping through the finish line. 'I've told Tucker you can't get there faster diving, just run through and you'll be fine,' Henry told the school's website . 'He thought he was a swim team guy today.'

Imagine him diving too early and not crossing the finish line
No
That would be an epic fail fr
@@eamparbeng mmhm i guess...
😂😭😭
that would be irrefutable evidence for the devil at work!!!!!!!!!
The other runner is like "I didn't know diving was allowed."
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.
I think the visual reference is the point of diving, the hand being their basis for crossing the line. @@robjohnson9270
@@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
Ask Allyson Felix. She lost Olympic gold in the 400m because the other person dove on her. She looked at her like wth was that?
❤😂exactly
Think he dove because he knew he was stumbling and gonna go down. Regardless, hellava move!
he literally explains why he jumped
@@Trent2K9 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.
Sure was a HELL OF A MOVE...!!! To risk great bodily injury in order to win..!!! He deserved the prize..!!!
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??
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" 😆
lmfao fr 😂😂
@nodrgvs ong no cap blud be spittin str8 fax fr fr sheesh skull
😅
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.
he landed on his balls tho
Legend has it that Infinite yelled "To infinity and beyond" as he leaped
😆🤣😂
I don't like to use "LOL" or "literally" because they're overused and misused, but I literally LOL'ed from that comment.
Lol
😂 nice reference
falling with style.
Outrunning a blue shell when you are seconds from the finish line
Reading this while I’m playing Mario Kart Wii online!
@@AbsoluteLunatic123Unfair as hell online but you gotta love it more than 8DX
@@Invictyn yeah I do love it more than MK8DX. Must be nostalgia but smart bouncing green shells also ruin it for me.
Been a while I not play Mario kart but yeah remember those heat seeking red shells, they would just blow you over the finish line 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 yes
Looks contagious, his teammate also caught it and dove and rolled. This is brilliant championship comedy LOL
Teammate?
I always wondered if a leap would also count 😂😂😂
@@licanisbeastilarica5761 yeah the first and second place were both texas a&m
He knew his legs were about to give out so he did a Superman. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
then he should have lost, in fact none of this makes any sense
@@BringDHouseDown Unfortuantely for him... He won. 🤭🤣🤣🤣
he was competing against his teammate too 💀
This is an individual pursuit. you think hes thinking "I don't really care where I finish as long as if one of my team mates win it" smh
He said screw the team mate I want this.
@@TylerDurden-cu6izyeah that's why he made it all about him like a diva
Mamba Mentality
He definitely didn't want to lose whatever bet they had in place😂
Honestly I've wondered why more sprinters haven't done this on close races. Lol
Because the ground is like sandpaper
Injury, not everyone has practiced falling as much as we used to in martial arts.
Because it's concrete, not grass.
@@H.K.5 its not concrete?
@@H.K.5 not concrete just rubber. Still hurts
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.
Exactly this it was amazing improv bc i think most people wouldnt think to jusy launch themselves and he did
His name is "infinite"? What modest parents he has. 😂
Let's be fair... that is epic commitment
While everybody is talking about the dive I’m just looking at the sportsmanship by the 2nd place runner going to check in on him to see if he was ok
You know someone lying when they end it with “That’s all it is”😂😂
Hahahaha 😂
A Lightning McQueen moment
Infinite became a legend. I will never ever forget that. That is how important it is to win. Congratulations!
That was cheating
@@Jimmy20492049 wdym
He became a clown.
That dude didn't jump to give anyone a hug. He jumped cause he wanted to WIN … like … REALLY bad! lol
Well he said what he said lol
No
So did the other guy
I agree, but aren’t they on the same team?
@@ivi122 yes ... but this is an INDIVIDUAL race. 1st place is not shared ... and that dude wanted it super bad.
Sir, swimming practice starts next week...
He really said : It's not over until I win!!🤣🤣🤣
The other fellow was entirely across the line while the jumpers feet were still not over the line.
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?
yeah you're absolutely right although i'm not sure what the rules actually are. if it's supposed to be all of the body then he got robbed.
Races are not done by your feet, hence why sprinters will dip their head at the line.
Nobody tell him he was gonna win anyways. Let him have his moment
Only thing he saying while on the ground. “Did I win!!!”
😂😂 bro has to win at all costs
With a name like that, he had no choice but to do everything possible to win, and he did
I’ve been watching these matches and sobbing as the underdog found his strength to prevail. But THIS one was down right funny. 😂
He still would’ve won tho...
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.
@@aurelianspodarec2629 shut up
@@kI-cq5xq lol kid xD
He definitely would of won either way
Would of? Would of what? Speak English.
When he graduated and interviewed for jobs, he had a great answer the question "How committed are you to your goals?"
It actually looks like he’s starting to stumble, so he just made it into a dive, instead of falling.
He tripped and then dove to win. It's not illegal it's genius
Yeah, if he tried to fix his posture, he will be passed by that second guy. Split second decision
Congratulations to him, most people wouldn't have the guts to dive in a full-on sprint !!! 🏃➡️🏃➡️🤸
I know this feeling is strange, but what a storng willing of winning. A little tear appear in my cheek.
Perfect demonstration of the word yeet!
This guy was actually in front when he dived. Probably would have won anyway. High risk move to dive.
Determination at its hilairioust!😂😂😂😂
This is the ultimate “I’m just gonna start jogging here to make it look like I didn’t trip over my own feet” recovery.
That’s called laying it on the line ❤🙏🏾
Welp, it is as the song says: “I believe I can soar. I see me running through that open door. I believe I can fly …” 🏃🏿
LOL
We canceled him
@@NyanyiC More like he cancelled himself
Crap gonna be humming this all day now 😭
Him: I can't lose to the white boy, I can't lose to the white boy!
Dives!
🤣🤣🤣
The interview was the best part!!! 👏 🤗
Props to his effort as this was an important race for him.
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...
Ah, but did his center of mass speed up, or was it just that going horizontal added length?
That right there is the will to win.
i saw this video someone using as a reference material in their video. They can't use this right?
they will have copyright on them right????
depends on the broadcasters rules i suppose.
Just like a Black Friday shopper trying to get the last Play Station!
NEYMAR JR looking at this guy dive: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!
He really loved his mom😊🤣thats all it is.
He didn't break the rules. He won. Case closed. Worth it.
He said "What teammates?" .... I'm by myself 😂😂😂👌🏾👌🏾🤷🏽♀️
If whatever sanctioning body this is under has it so the time is scored at the hands, that would be incredibly bizarre and dumb because now every sprinter would just train to dive over the line.
The governing body is called World Athletics, and it’s not based off the hands. It is (and has been for many years) based when the shoulders/torso crosses.
@@Elliottklassen While running. Not diving.
" I know it's a cowardly way to win, but they told me it was legal, so I did it."
How is it a cowardly way lol called going all out wtf you talking about
The interview though.... Now tgats sportsmanship! 💪🏾😎👍🏾
Love how his teammate fell in solidarity too
Where there's a will there's a way. 😂😂😂
If you cant run then fly
Well, you gotta want it!
Imagine this becoming the new meta and everyone dives across the finish line at the next Olympic games
My man dove like he wasnt going back to the hood😂😂
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🐝?!
No pain no glory ill give it all for this moment teeth screaming noooooo as he dives in for the kill lol what a boss
THAT is how you win a race man. What an effort!
imagine him diving, injured and never running again.
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
They shouldve booed him for this, dirty move
How is that dirty 😐
@@laylow3229 take a guess
Not really dirty if u look closely he starts to stumble. He was in the lead anyway
What’s the official rule for a track race? What part of the body is considered crossing the finish line? Is it any part of your body thst passes the line? Could it be hand or fingers? or is it just your head or your torso? (or even a knee?) etc.
Torso
@@Len_J_ Thanks for your lengthy response. Is that a fact?, or is this something you’re just assuming? Even in the thumbnail for this video, when they’re leaning in, their head is way more closer to the finish line then their torso. So, I’m curious to what’s the official rule? (example; when they do a photo finish I never recall them talking about the torso being the head of the other persons torso)
-
If you can elaborate more, than just a “one word” answer, that would be much appreciated.
Do long jumpers run the last two meters?
Still would have won haha
Nope, because he was going to fall. And that's why he dives
People can say what they want to, but unless you've ever been an athlete that spends your entire week dedicated to your sport, you won't understand what it's like to be "THAT CLOSE" to the finish line and willing to do ANYTHING to be the winner...
Hats off to this man, what he shows here is absolute dedication and devotion to the sport he loves most... Nice Finish!
NO ONE can say, he didn't give IT ALL out there on the track!
Cheater and ridiculous hush up
There was obviously something else going on behind the scenes here - Have you ever seen anyone ever do this before?🧢
1 word: *Dedication.*
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 had that race. That was totally unneccesary
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?
I think he did that because you can see that he was starting to fall a little so he just dived.
Can you do a second video about why the other guy was diving after the finish line? I'm curious. ;)
😅Right!
Brother went full on Superman. 😂
Heart
So, he won?
Yes because shoulders count.
@@Meven2001 no it's the chest that counts
@@xend_er6975 Exactly, the chest. I don't know why i said shoulders lol
The replay with everyone laughing watching it is hilarious lol
i think he thought he was Superman and wanted to fly over the finish, lol
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
Idiot for falling?That's tough
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.
He made sure he hit his face on ground just to make sure he hit the line
Never thought Face planting would be a win.
What happens if you don't cross entirely the line but you're the first on photo finish with your dive?
Touchdown!!!
Are they ever going to ban diving? Should be done immediately.
why?
Went from Usain Bolt to Michael Phelps. 🏃♂️🏊♂️😂
I want this cliped with "I believe i can fly". Please link me to the video.
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.
He was starting to stumble and propelled himself forward to prevent himself from falling short
Not fair. It shouldn't have counted. It's a on-feet race.
:-)
Then how do u jump , without ur legs ?
Lol try finish a race just hopping or flying?? he ran the whole thing n crossed hurdles
negli ultimi metri puoi anche inciampare e ruzzolare ma se tagli il traguardo per primo anche cosi' hai vinto.
Yes if he hadn't stretched you would have won right ?
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.
Bro thinks he's in a Super Mario 64 race 💀💀
Should be a rule against this. It cannot be encouraged
It’s not even to you’re advantage 99 percent of the time
@@erickendall262 Yeah, this is literally one of the sole instances that it was a viable option as he was in the lead and starting to stumble just before the line. It would be detrimental in almost every other circumstance.
Dont think that should be allowed to be honest, but what do I know?
Have you ever ran track? Let me rephrase. Have you have ran full speed then tried to dive into something? There's a reason why LJ, TJ, and hurders slow down ever so slightly before a jump and pace themselves. It's to generate maximum power in a leap. Diving wouldn't give sprinters any added advantage except for maybe short distance races, 60m/100m. Sprinters who dive are usually ones who are about to fall. There's no performance advantage other than preventing the sprinter losing too much speed during a fall. If for any reason it should be banned, it should be for safety concern. However you'd have a hard time doing so as it is a natural reaction to stumbling at full speed... for athletes primed to reach a goal.
@@desecration171 still don't think it should be allowed. It's a sprint and that is how the race should be won...by sprinting
@@desecration171I understand your point, and believe it right. But I still don't think a runner should be allowed to win on a dive, whether falling or diving purposely. It is a race, not a jumping or diving competition. If a runner is falling down before the line it means he didn't do his job alright. Another thing is falling after the line, or after leaning forward at the line ..my thoughts!!
Okay, if your first name is Infinite, I would expect nothing less. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dismount comment had me in tears 😂😂
Didn't want to be beaten by a white guy
I thought it was pretty funny
Haha
After running 400 meters full of hurdles, that dive was impressive 😂 That’s a painful race!
This is one of my all time favourite vids omg lol
Losing wasn't a option for him that day LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best part is everybody laughing at the instant replay
Bro thinks he's lighting McQueen 💀
Damn... he was like "not today"!
Why his teammate immediately imitate him 😂😂😂
They was on it!😂😂 The winner by a nose dive! 😂
