He was the fastest this season so I personally think he would’ve won, but we’ll never know. I feel very bad for Devon because he just has a REALLY fast start

[@TheSprintProject_]

As you said, unfortunately we'll never know

[@viggojohansson3912]

Thanks for making this Might become one of the biggest what if’s in track history

[@TheSprintProject_]

Agreed

[@nikoflow_fm9541]

I think the best course of action would be to keep the same false start system, but simply lower the cutoff to .08 secs. This is so unbelievably simple to enforce/change, it's mind-boggling why the IAAF hasn't even considered it since literally 2010.

[@DF-we4pt]

Why keep this stupid rule at all? After the gun is after the gun

[@biggalaxy9102]

No need for the world "literally." You need to take it out of your vocabulary like they need to take this stupid rule out for track starts!

[@mhxxd4]

No anything after the gun should be legal period

[@upside2484]

0:23 I know that track, it’s at Mesa Community College. It’s where I have my state meets every year for track

[@troyoxford4532]

Yes he was robbed

[@Mrwiseguy101690]

100ms seems like ab arbitrary number that is definitely not exact. Disqualifying somebody for reacting in 99ms is completely absurd.

[@europaeuropa3673]

Usain Bolt visually false started. Devon Allen did not.

[@TheSprintProject_]

Right

[@jameswebb5718]

My friends were on that start team and one was the team lead. There were two pieces of the system ( wave form and reaction time) as evidence that did not agree in the recall system. The athlete asked to run under protest and let the decision go to the jury of appeals. The start referee overruled it. As a starter of over 30 years I feel he got screwed.

[@imagine7408]

The rule is BS. Someone pointed out on Twitter that the sensor in his lane was responsible for a few DQs. It could be faulty. Anyways, after the gun is after the gun. You shouldn’t be penalized for it.

[@sloanNYC]

They should have to run diagnostics for sure, and maybe something as low as 1 ms let the race run but flag it for review. I'd imagine 1 ms could be within a bad calibration.

[@ross5759]

Nice video, I remember watching it live and actually felt so bad for him when he had to walk off.

[@edreyneres8789]

Drop more videos bro.. You got the the best content related to Track&field,hope u drop some more about the world athletics.

[@chrisrobbie8675]

Big YES !!! Doomed for being faster is nonsense to me, it's should've been a bless

[@justshmoove]

Yes, her was robbed & that is the worst rule ever!!! If it's not negative, then there shouldn't be an issue. DumB rule!

[@stevespyder]

Even if he did not 'appear' to move, the blocks are so sensitive that they measure the slightest twitch of the foot. You are not supposed to move after the set position. Some athletes coming up through the HS + Collegiate system using blocks w/o sensors ( and starters that have not been calling false starts or have a predictable time in between 'set' and the gun ) have been anticipating the gun and getting away with jumping the gun. They get complacent until they have to use pro blocks and reality hits them.

[@wxbrainiac]

even then his reaction time was within human capabilities

[@wyndell300]

Linford Christie John Drummond both accused of false starting

[@jarellthegameboy7760]

It makes me wonder why didn’t the WA lower the ruling, like they did a study back in 2009, 13 years ago!!!! And yet they still didn’t change the ruling to 0.080s or 0.085s

[@salsol0038]

Por favor haz un vídeo de ejercicios de core para mejorar en velocidad, y si se puede dar más contexto en los que pueden ayudar al salto vertical y rendimiento por fas 🙏

[@Kabra91]

Further research should be made and rules must be updated as times change. Being stubborn on old rules will kill this sport, no wonder most people chose to play American football, soccer or other more paying jobs

[@dankal444]

As a very calm person I am also extremely pissed each time I rearead/rewatch about this. If I was co-runner in this race I would refuse to start and support him.

[@M___X_]

make the limit .85 or .80 now. the research was conducted 13 years ago, what's the hold up?

[@gokuljaras1998]

Congratulations🤗🥇

[@Donkerzz]

Track and Field rewards those with genetic superiority + hard work. If Devon Allen consistently hits these .1 second reactions why should he not be rewarded also?

[@wisdomislove7098]

The system itself robbed him, & the sad 😔 thang about it is there is know room for mercy 🥺 especially at a 👉🙉🌎🙈class track meet, there should have been some consideration in this event, it's stupid. Amen 🙏!!!

[@mattjewett4473]

From Eugene, this HURRTS even a year later. Statistically, it is probably that a world class sprinter has a reaction at the front end of the bell curve. This isn't proof of false start.

[@davidbryant1606]

There's no link to click on for the Frasier race

[@thegodssin3631]

They're supposed to be FAST, SO WOULDN'T THEY ALSO "REACT" FAST!!???!?!?!??!?? WTF MAN

[@DF-we4pt]

Ya they cheapened the value of this race imo. As a non track person, this championship was meaningless. Also, it’s literally the dumbest rule I’ve ever seen, in any sport, anywhere, ever.

[@stevespyder]

drag racing has similar rule, if your car moves within .5 seconds of light changing from yellow to green, it's a foul. I had a .499 reaction one time. I didn't bitch, we all had the same rules to follow.

[@chad0ch0]

It's such a genuinely awful rule that taints the sport. If even people who don't follow track see it and know it's idiotic, then it shouldn't be a rule, period.

[@gurbydhar]

In Sports you are supposed to have have a quick reaction time . It would be incentivised. Sprinting is another form of response to effort the quickly you can fire nerve impulses and have conditioned your body for the same the better

[@donutcycler4327]

rule is fine ... - and allen out !

[@cadenlewis213]

do you have tips on running the 200m

[@cadenlewis213]

bro yes

[@cadenlewis213]

fr

[@emaplaying2184]

Totally unfair😕

[@yashkharb1376]

Wtf man this is the dubest rule i evwn heard of . It must be reresearched.

[@keronharding7525]

Does a duck quack? Was he robbed…boy I tell you!!!

[@outgrown3094]

nah bro tf lol

[@Smartie1B]

That rule is ignorant and ridiculous. Especially since the research has spoken.

[@bbake3973]

Robbed

[@philipmcluskey6805]

over time they keep changing the rules but really make it about themselves, the rules, their views....it's no longer about the athletes at all

[@DF-we4pt]

Holloway should be arrested for theft

[@NitzanAmitExtraMoney]

They should lower the DQ time to 0.080. They are objectivly wrong with this rule. My heart goes to Devon.

[@mhxxd4]

There shouldn't be a lower limit, after the gun is after the gun

[@Crippleddog]

That rules stupid.

[@TheSprintProject_]

It is

[@philipmcluskey6805]

what's wrong with democracy. if it looks legal at the start and it looks like- say, a draw at the finish- then it's a draw( an example) and using technology has gone way to far now. what happened to honour. No, we bow to technology.

[@stevespyder]

the eye is not sensitive to see the foot push against the block, that is why they have sensors, but this model of blocks appears to be overly sensitive.

[@b.v.kartheekb.v.kartheek1326]

I have a big doubt If he starts athletics at age 16 Can he win in the Olympics?

[@b.v.kartheekb.v.kartheek1326]

Is it possible

[@gokuljaras1998]

🥇🤗

[@topgundoc01]

I sympathize with Allen. After all the hard training and sacrifice he had to endure. But you have to remember that the other competitors also endured hard training and sacrifices and they have the right to compete fairly with the same rules applying equally to every competitor. The rules protect all the competitors against someone who, intentionnally or not, would get an unfair jump on them. I compete myself in Masters athletics. When I register for an event, I accept the rules. I have never questionned the goodwill of the officials or made a scene.

[@mhxxd4]

🐑

[@mhxxd4]

There is nothing about this that is okay. The rules are based on a faster reaction time not being possible when in reality thats absurd and it needs to be thrown out

[@gokuljaras1998]

🥇🤗🤗🥇

[@arulstalin4834]

To everybody telling the rule is crap , it is scientifically proven that human mind cant react lesser than 0.1 second , so the thing is he wasnt too fast, he was just too early .

[@mhxxd4]

No there have been studies that say it's possible. Plus you can't put a lower limit on what's possible. A 4 minute miles used to be impossible too, until someone did it. Anything after the gun should be fair game. If they try to guess the gun they risk getting disqualified

[@brodem5597]

Athletics is a sport which rewards genetic anomalies , why should they be punished now, because he’s capable of reacting fast enough. Especially considering the fact that he’s known for having a fast start

[@mhxxd4]

@@brodem5597 how fast are his other starts?
