That is an automatic disqualification, are all the judges asleep

[@joelwillems4081]

She was officially disqualified in the final results. The announcers were definitely asleep as should have known from step three that she was out of the race.

[@aitchr8770]

Surely disqual!

[@eddiedavies5392]

Eisa should have been disqualified as she is supposed to stay outside the yellow line until after the cones when the runners in that group can cut in

[@TheVisualante11]

Ya wasn't even close went down to the second lane two steps after the start.

[@ragreenburg]

She was DQ'd but somehow the announcers didn't spot it in the beginning.

[@donblender3648]

It's so obvious that eisa changed lanes to quickly to get to the rail

[@michaelshore2300]

Ethiopian did not stay in lane at start

[@eudaenomic]

The women's 2 mile featured several historic times and drama up front. The official winner, Laura Muir broke the British national record by running 9:04.84.

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

Eisa should have been disqualified.Watch the begging of the race.She crossed lanes straight away

[@ragreenburg]

She did get DQ'd.

[@aitchr8770]

Eisa did not run the 2mile clear disqualification

[@zabaleta66]

Love Muir and Monson, despite having strengths at different distances. Very similar in their outlook to racing, they both give it their all!

[@philipmcluskey6805]

here's the official comments after the event... Ethiopian teenager Medina Eisa surged to the line in the Mary Beth Hogan women's 2-mile and took the win in 9:04.39, but she didn't stay in the outside alley to start the race, cutting inside early. She was DQ'ed shortly after the race. Ultimately, Britain's Laura Muir was then named the official winner.11 Feb 2024

[@robeigner4390]

I don't understand why the winner of this race wasn't disqualified for leaving her lane (was on outside group) before at least the first turn. She had to be told to reposition herself before the start. A good starter would have immediately stopped the race and instructed the teenager what the rules are for running on indoor tracks. She obviously doesn't know them. This maneuver effectively put her in front of the runners starting along the rail.

Why wasnt she disqualified for running a shorter distance, not one judge picked an obvious foul?

She was. Someone should have told her.

Go on Laura❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@archie6945]

Shame that the starters didn't realise Eisa wasn't sure of the markings...had they taken the time to indicate that she had to stay outside that line...

[@stratocasterblue]

That yellow line is pretty bright how did she miss that, Laura even pointed it out to her so Laura won, Eisa was supposed to wait until the beginning of the backstretch to change lanes, Other than that great race Laura and Alicia are awesome! Loved it thanks.

[@ogribiker8535]

Laura NOT Lara !!

[@deeplorable8988]

Laura Muir tried to run the Eisa off the track at the finish. Muir is as dirty as they get...

[@stratocasterblue]

The finish line ribbon holders occupy the first and part of the second lane you have to go inside the way they hold it@@deeplorable8988

[@stratocasterblue]

Laura was not trying to run her off the track, You have to move to the middle lanes to finish because of the way the ribbon holders occupy the first and part of the second lanes@@deeplorable8988

Eisa Disqualivication, wrong lane at Start

[@BNice-sl4sq]

Not sure if official starter could have called a false start since the infraction was immediate. Also not sure why the officials continued to let her run the entire race if they knew she would be disqualified. Very strange turn of events. Glad Laura won but 99.9 percent sure the DQ'd athlete would have won even if no lane infraction. They will both race another day, so lesson learned: no mental mistakes at this level.

It's nice to see such diversity in the runners. Monson does not have a number, shouldn't she be disqualified?

[@philipmcluskey6805]

yep...EISA disqualification. you don't need to know anything about athletics to see that yellow line was there for a reason

[@DarrellMinards]

Why did the commentators stop and then suddenly come back.... very weird?

[@paulsdogwalking]

Eisa did end up getting DQ'd

[@Runner.4k]

Dr Laura Muir won and Alicia the world could use more of you two very nice race all of these atheletes.

[@garyhills1794]

[@cryo9216]

With 6 laps to go I could teIl from facial expressions Monson would end up 4th and one of those teenagers would win. What a shame she got disqualified.

[@ckzf1842]

I am a great fan of Laura Muir , but she may need to work on that killer “ kick “ in the last 500 meters , as there will be those( indefatigable) Ethiopian lasses - who seem to be able to breeze past everyone - especially in the last 500 ….😮

Thankfully NBC didn't do these. They are effing terrible, and usually a spoiler title to boot. They shouldn't be allowed to cover anything above the special Olympics' pickleball competition.

Yeah, after running 10 less meters than everyone else, you're expected to finish the strongest 🙄

[@dkstewy]

Despite her making a mess at the start, at just 19 years old Eisa would seem to be the future! She seemed to be running so easily.

[@zorva788]

대단하다👍

[@neo3373]

J'me suis toujours demandé pourquoi les gens couraient pour revenir au même endroit...?

[@chavenord]

What's with Muir going two lanes wide in the stretch trying to block?

[@samanderson7745]

They literally have to because of where the finishing banner is held. The inside most holder is in the 2nd lane meaning you need to move into the 3rd lane to avoid a collision. They keep the 1st lane open for any athletes that are being lapped.

[@jep1912]

Eisa the winner. Did the commentators wait until over 5 minutes into the race to even mention her name? I believe so. When Muir made her move Eisa stuck to her like glue and Kara Goucher ignored her still! Didn't fit with narrative I guess.

[@kevstreet]

What? Give me a break.

Boycott Olympic Games if Russia is allowed.

[@onlyarsenichere5032]

@@Hkim185 i believe you're blowing this all out of proportion. I dont think they were targeting the Ethiopian, yet i think if she had stayed in the outer lane, she still would have won, she is very talented for being young. Like you said Millrose games is very prestigious. With it being a classic, I believe rules should be rules. Are we not supposed to be strict on rules when it comes to pro racing. Whether it was a mistake or not, the committee has to deny her the win because the starter always tells the runners to stay in the outer lane, then cut in at the bend. Im sure eisa will be very prominent in the running world from here on out though. Even though she ran just short of a full 2 mile, i believe she will run faster through out the season and win very often.

I am appalled at all the hate in these games. There is not a single male competing here. 😮

[@kiwiauldphart]

I didn't detect any biase from the commentary, if fact nothing was mentioned about an American winning this race.....Alicia ran a gutsy race and was rewarded with the American record by some 3sec. (which the male commentator mentioned pre-race "she may have a crack at")

[@sharonb537]

always fun to have other countries join us viewing an American media broadcast at an American race put on by American technology

[@ElCidPhysics90]

They also didn’t comment how Eisa totally broke the rules and was DQd.

[@felixlingelbach2758]

The race took place at February 11. I watched it back then and watched also all about Eisa's disqualification. Muir knew from start on that Eisa will get dqed. Thank you americans for providing races on an international level. No reason to complain. Of course the national commentators care about their own runners. They should. My german commentators are much worse and races without german participation are not shown at all.
