    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.

    @TheRealSplashBrothers 6 років тому +1506

    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...

      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.

    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!
