[News] Usain Bolt & Dairy Queen!

Usain Bolt had another stunning performance in the world championships. This time, it didn't involve him crossing the finish line in the fastest time ever recorded.

The world's fastest man broke out of the starting block early in Sunday's 100 meter final in South Korea and was disqualified from the race, providing an abrupt end to the dominance he's maintained in track's biggest event since the Beijing Olympics.


Bolt’s great rival Tyson Gay predicted this farce, more than a year ago.

In June 2010, when the instant disqualification rule was introduced, the second fastest man in history said: ‘If Usain Bolt false started it would be a wake-up call. If it happened at the World Championships or Olympics, the result is going to need an asterisk by its side. Without him, it wouldn’t make sense.’


So... Starcraft 2 without Koreans, nerd raging without Idra... anyone else want to contribute?

Overall, this is really pathetic. From what I understand the Olympic committee is already looking into this and trying to ensure this incident doesn't occur during the 2012 Summer Olympics.

I actually was able to see this on TV instead of reading it on the news. You should've seen the spectacle. He ripped off his shirt (like usual) but this time followed it up with minutes of agonizing yells.

Ridiculous rule is ridiculous. That'd be like if Brood War players could get disqualified for pausing the game themselves instead of typing "ppp" Oh wait...

I think so. It's a zero-tolerance rule that was created last year. I think it used to be two tries before you got disqualified. I updated op with what Tyson Gay, the best North American sprinter, had to say about it.

This is fucking bullshit. Everyone and their mothers knows that Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world without a doubt, but a silly rule like this just ruins it for everyone. Not only are history and record books affected, but Usain Bolt just got denied another possible gold.

I hope they fix this by the olympics because that would absolutely ruin the probably most popular event in the whole Track and Field sport.
Jaedong plz

Sup dawg, I hear you like fail so I put some fail in your facepalm so you can fail while you facepal.
Anyways, this sucks. Usain Bolt has always been my inspiration for running, ever since I watched him in the Beijing Olympics.

Basketball without Americans. Asians without rice. On topic, the rule needs to be change. People practice/train for years to win and to get Dairy Queen for 1 false start is being way too strict.

Why the fuck did they make it 1 false start = DQ?????

Were false starts really that big of a problem?

IMHO, this rule works very well in swimming.
It might take a bit more time to sprinters to get used to it.

Sure false starts suck but a 100m race without Usain Bolt sucks more. Being DQ'd after 2 false starts sounds unlikely at best, but instant DQ is too unforgiving.
