Fun fact: Olympic officials later confirmed they gave coach Stan Wright the wrong schedule... after Wright had already received all the blame in the press. So when the video claims that Wright was "working from the wrong schedule," the Olympics channel is conveniently leaving out *why* that was the case.
imagine missing the last free McDonalds giveaway, that happened to me once, if only i could have arrived 0.5 seconds earlier. it wasn't just one meal too.
It’s so nerve wracking though. Those seconds waiting for the gun feels like years 😂 it was bad enough at national races for me, but I couldn’t imagine how bad it would be during the Olympics 😳
I hate when it happens during distance races I run during track season. I'm so nervous already, but then I have to start the race over, even though it's someone else's fault.
Finally I devoted my life for this 9 second race I’ve trained 7 days a week, spent millions of dollars on professional training, and became a representative of my country. *false starts*
As a swimmer, missing my race is something that I dread often. You never think about it actually happening because, it shouldn’t. It’s the last thing you’re worried about. You trust yourself and your coaches to keep you on track. I’ve missed a few races before and even at low level meets, the feeling is almost unbearable in the moment. During the last story I could feel what they were feeling when they saw their race, just like the feeling of looking up from your chair and seeing your heat swimming in the pool. It’s awful. For them it must of been more than I could ever imagine...
Chloe Ake Me too. I’m 13 and in some competitions, I am put with swimmers 5 years older. To be honest, I never missed or have been disqualified in any of my events. And, I’m not really good at sprints. I’m a distance swimmer.
Bella Mendes same! Like I’ve never missed a race, but I’ve been disqualified once or twice and some of my friends have missed one or two races, and they are almost always able to swim it even if it’s with 18 year olds🤷♀️
If he started early it was like miliseconds before every time I hear the sound before he moves. It looks like his reaction time is just way better than everyone else, although I'm not versed in the exact rules of it... maybe you have to wait until the sound ends?
Human reaction time has never been clocked to go below 100ms. So if the sprinter starts less than 100ms after the gun fires, he wasn't listening and guessed instead.
"forgotten for ever", "only managed silver" these guys are still Olympic athletes, he "only managed silver" at the Olympics, that's not something you can belittle like that, c'mon
In India, Olympic Silver Medal winner received $200,000 to $500,000, from the government, besides other sponsors and sports contracts. Gold winner could get more than a million usd, there have been only one single gold medal winner in India in entire Olympic games
I think it has to be put into context. I would be ecstatic to even finish an Olympic marathon. But if Eliud Kipchoge got 2nd place then he would have "only managed silver".
Dimitar A the have special blocks with pressure sensors so they can tell if the pressure increases before the gun goes its a false start not just movement
You can’t really blame these athletes. Imagine training for YEARS, and all that training and dedication until the day of your performances, only to be nervous because everything that you’ve ever worked for and trained for, has come to this.
Right I can’t see it either....he probably was cheated cause to me he didn’t move but I can say he move really little slightly in the legs if you know what I mean🤷🏾♂️
@@swav.zielin Wouldn't you have checked it several times reading it from different signs in different areas? Sitting around waiting at tournaments like these being bored as you can't go out drinking before your race and you can't over eat/indulge so you have to sit around a lot and all you'd have is your ticket/card/pass that says what race you are in and when it's on but they somehow just asked their coach to tell them when it's on and in no conversation with anyone else did they get informed that they had their time wrong???
Imagine spending your whole life preparing, waking up at 4 AM for years, going to practice everyday, And then your coach gives you the wrong f*cking schedule
Christie proved his reactions were quicker than the time used by the olympics for a false start. This was something he could repeat, so arguably not a false start, just a better start than they allowed.
False starts don’t need movement to be called. If the pressure censor feels something before the gun goes off it’s a false start. It’s meant to be reaction time not your guessing powers
I was once placed 19th in a prelims swim meet which means I missed being an alternate by 1 place.( alternates have to go in case someone drops out) On the way home my coach calls to tell me that they failed to remove the disqualified swimmers from the finals roster and I actually made it as an alternate. Made it back and got changed just in time to see the race finish with 1 empty lane.
Reading about the controversy, it appears it was more the fault of the Olympics organisers than the coach. But of course a video uploaded by the official Olympics channel would blame the coach entirely...
It's so stupid how you get eliminated for false starts especially if it's multiple people. I would absolutely destroy my coaches face if he caused me to miss a race.
they work out the reaction time based on how fast the sound of the gun going off will reach the athletes(speaker behind each athlete nowadays) and how fast the sound can travel to the brain and for the brain to get the body to start the muscles moving. This is currently 100m/s
Not really, people have calculated the fastest ever possible reaction a human being could have to the gun, and it is 1/10 of a second. If your reaction time is under that, it means you started pushing on the blocks before you even heard the shot
The first guy shouldn’t have been found guilty because on his third go he was right on time and just had a faster reaction time then everyone else. bruhhhhhh that is some bs none of those people deserved for their careers to be over
there's actually now rules that you have to start 0.1 seconds AFTER the gun, because they've determined that to be the limit of human reaction speed combined with distance from the sound, etc.
@@andrewf8366 Which is why several of the false starts occurred because the contestant was LOOKING at the starting gun, not listening to it. This gains them (especially the guy in the leftmost lane) a significant advantage over those who respond to the sound.
legionaries Ok so in races, there’s a gun sound that signifies the start of the race and you’re not allowed to move until the gun sounds. If you move before the gun sounds, it is called a false start. Hope this helps.
One time at sports day i was doing 100m finals and i started to run and won the race but then i relised that it was a false start and i jist didnt hear the second shot
I think the saddest part is that it wasn't even the coach or any of the athlete's faults. Coach Stan Wright literally checked with the Olympic officials to make sure he had it correct, which they falsely confirmed; the schedule had been lately amended by the IAAF and some teams weren't properly notified (the winner of the 100 and 200 metre sprint Valeriy Borzov later admitted that he had nearly missed his quarter-final as well due to the same issue). Stan Wright saw footage of it starting from the Olympic Village and desperately made a dash for it in an ABC-TV car with the three sprinters, but unfortunately, it was too late for Hart and Robinson to compete, and an appeal by the USA team failed to reverse their elimination. Taylor, the third sprinter, arrived just seconds before his and managed to grab second overall despite being unprepared. It's especially saddening since Wright's name got dragged through the mud for it even when the USA Olympic Committee cleared him of all blame (even to this day, as evidenced in this video) and his career "was never the same after that", as well as the fact that Hart and Robinson held the fastest Olympic times that year and likely would've taken the top spots if it hadn't been for the misunderstanding :( At least the athletes still managed to be successful after that, with Hart securing the 4 x 100 m relay gold for USA at the same Olympics and later setting a world record for the Masters 100 m that would last 14 years, while Robinson went on to become the head track coach at Florida A&M University, coaching multiple Olympic medalist Walter Dix.
honest question: If Usain Bolt in his prime ever mistook the time for a race and wasn't at the start line do you think the meet officials would still start the race?
I wonder how many months I've been skipping through recommended garbage while this awesome video was hiding in the UA-cam shadows waiting for me to find it...
I just came back from an athletic competition, (4x400m and 1.5km) and false starts are so common amongst sprinters it was real interesting to see people take off 2 mins before the pistol went off.
Hi, I have a question - from where you get all these materials in such a good quality, e.g. - Olympics in Seoul, 1988? Maybe someone else knows that? :)
Lone Wolf Rider You think so? Only for a few minutes of movie in a good quality? 😉 Besides, I think somewhere must be a good copy of it, just check the movies from cinema out from this period. Technology was good enough to record in very good quality. The question is - where are these archival materials?
Łukasz Gryc It’s called upscaling. The quality of a video being “increased” to look good on higher resolutions than the original resolution of the video.
There are so many comments about Jurgen Hingsen's third false start in 1988 (1:36). On his third start his reaction time was measured at 0.099 seconds - the legal limit was/still is 0.100 seconds. So you are talking 0.001 seconds or one-thousandth of a second too early. Just to point out he didn't start before the gun was fired, he started after the gun fired but the smallest possible amount before the minimum accepted reaction time. Linford Christie did a similar thing in 1996 (3:51) but his reaction time on the second false start was 0.086 seconds so 0.014 seconds too early. Hope this helps someone understand why they were both disqualified.
The worst disqualification was Linford's. The rules state that there should be no movement until after the gun. Linford did not move before the gun, in fact he only started to move 0.082 seconds after it had fired thanks to his amazing reactions. But a science study reviewed sprinters reaction times and that the minimum theoretical time for a reaction was 0.1 seconds. Linford was robbed because he just had very fast reactions!
@@avox5651 the human brain, and therefore the body, can only move 1 tenth of a second when it comes to reaction time. And there is tons of equipment there to find and stop a false start. So no, you're wrong
It happened with me too once in school exam. I prepared for history paper but in exam hall it turned out to be geography paper. It was gut wrenching for me.
1:20 but it looked like his foot didnt move or go over line before the shot. are they simply supposed to stay motionless until?? 1:35 i think that 3rd start was spot on 4:00 looked like he was simply quickest on the reaction
You have to stay still until you hear the gun go off. It’s been shown the fastest human reaction time is .1 second, therefore, those people that are “spot on” jumped the gun because they physically couldn’t have reacted under a tenth of a second.
has to be completely motionless form the time "set" is said until the gun goes off. You turn your head DQ, move your hand DQ Move your foot DQ etc etc.
I fail to see Bolden's false start at 3:40. I watched it several times, even at half speed, and it looks to me that he did not jump the gun. Am I alone in thinking this?
If a sprinter starts after the gun has been fired, how can it be considered as a false start? He reacted faster than others and it's a quality to be appreciated.
I have a question. I don't watch Olympics often but I wanna ask If anyone false starts so is he/she not allowed to race in their whole career?? After 2 false starts are they not allowed to race in the next one??
At the 5:22 mark, strange how the reenactment of Robinson and Hart used two different TV's to show them watching the their live race happen. The first TV uses a toggle on/off switch whereas later a different TV uees a pull-out on/off switch.
Correction: It is the same TV. They just pretend to turn it on using two different switches. Not really sure why it has two diferent on/off switches. It looks like it may be a Mitsubishi TV.
The last one is really sad..imagine u absolutely done preparation for olympic n then u miss the event..i cant imagine if i miss the examination because im wrong checking the schedule

To be honest he didnt fslse stsrt he was perfectly on tim so they never ssw something like it so they thought it was a false start
@@avox5651 the human brain, and therefore the body, can only move 1 tenth of a second when it comes to reaction time. And there is tons of equipment there to find and stop a false start. So no, you're wrong
@@gokublack5620 Theoretically speaking the quickest reaction time is a reflex reaction, which can actually be as small as 0.08s.
LOVE THE OLYMPICS
me too
@@bentattersfield7987 i was like 13 when i made this comment lmaoooo thats crazy
It happened with me too once in school exam. I prepared for history paper but in exam hall it turned out to be geography paper. It was gut wrenching for me.
I missed an exam thinking it was the day after than when it was, found out I missed it by friends when I saw them in the club getting pissed.
1:20 but it looked like his foot didnt move or go over line before the shot. are they simply supposed to stay motionless until??
1:35 i think that 3rd start was spot on
4:00 looked like he was simply quickest on the reaction
All of them jumped start
You have to stay still until you hear the gun go off. It’s been shown the fastest human reaction time is .1 second, therefore, those people that are “spot on” jumped the gun because they physically couldn’t have reacted under a tenth of a second.
has to be completely motionless form the time "set" is said until the gun goes off. You turn your head DQ, move your hand DQ Move your foot DQ etc etc.
yes
no
perhaps but irrelevant
@@alison29 interesting n makes sense. They luckily timed it just in the nick of time lol
Reminds me of this one time I missed a flight to Greece while I was waiting at the gate with my headphones on XD
I fail to see Bolden's false start at 3:40. I watched it several times, even at half speed, and it looks to me that he did not jump the gun. Am I alone in thinking this?
Mike S, same. I can’t see it
@@joeyjerry1586 Thanks for the reply. I hoped it wasn't just me.
1:03 Jesus how does that not get in the way!?!
5:18 SSHEDULE
The funny thing about this video is that the the last part of the video is filmed at the track training track that linford is coaching
So two minor mistakes from a nervous, title-defending champion, means life expulsion from the Games?
If a sprinter starts after the gun has been fired, how can it be considered as a false start? He reacted faster than others and it's a quality to be appreciated.
If i ever get to the olympics im just gonna stay in the stadium the whole time 💀💀
I have a question. I don't watch Olympics often but I wanna ask
If anyone false starts so is he/she not allowed to race in their whole career??
After 2 false starts are they not allowed to race in the next one??
THIS GIVES ME ANXIETY
blue destiny Not Alone! OMG. 🥴
🥶
3:08 No mention of Canada's Donovan Bailey who was the reigning world champion at the time?
Yes he was
my brother slept through his track meet this morning 🤠
I feel so bad for them! Especially those last boys Rey Robinson and Eddie Hart 😭
3:42 did the guy in lane 7 intentionally stay in his spot?
The gone didnt go of so obviously.
Wow the last one was just Dark 😱
@1:51 - Well, he might "return to the games" to watch! ;D
i do not see the false start by Bolden at all?
Here after 100 m finals
Big red and yellow text box blocking half the video.
can I point out that the narrator is saying "shedule" and not "schedule" at 5:50
British-English pronounces it "shedule" is why
What kind of coach. If I were a coach of an Olympian I would check at least 10 times
well he probably did. Only he had the wrong schedule and it didn't have the right times. Soi checking 100 times wouldn't have changed
Man I feel so sorry for all of them
“As long as he doesn’t-“ *false starts* “........oh”
At the 5:22 mark, strange how the reenactment of Robinson and Hart used two different TV's to show them watching the their live race happen. The first TV uses a toggle on/off switch whereas later a different TV uees a pull-out on/off switch.
Correction: It is the same TV. They just pretend to turn it on using two different switches. Not really sure why it has two diferent on/off switches. It looks like it may be a Mitsubishi TV.
Hay un error en el título es "salidas en falso" no 'salidas en dalso"
a big grind!
so if you fun as soon as you hear the gun thing it’s a false start
Did you want your reenactment to look so comically silly?

thank you
The last one is really sad..imagine u absolutely done preparation for olympic n then u miss the event..i cant imagine if i miss the examination because im wrong checking the schedule
he just had super fast interlectual reflexes thats all but somehow noone alllow that :(😢
I expected to see Shane Kelly from Atlanta 1996 in this list as the title didn't say it was only track events.
It’s funny how in the last story, one of the men were wearing yeezy’s! I don’t think they were made that early.?!
It was a reenactment
Starry Yes I understand but to make it more realistic, they shouldn’t have used Yeezys to reenact an event that occurred years ago.
I can agree with that
I just can’t watch that Linford Christie one. It’s heartbreaking
Don't feel bad for him. He was a drug cheat, but unfortunately only got caught near the end of his career.
@@francishunt562 We all have the capacity for light and shade.
At 5:17 he says Chedule instead of schedule
That's the British pronunciation.
Amazing
Awesome video and lol at the actors at the end
6:18 if this was meant to be in the 70s, why is he wearing yeezys? 😂
4:49
Whats the background music in this one?
I like how everyone in the comments is suddenly an expert on false starts
