Swimmer gets disqualified for celebrating (ORIGINAL)

- North Carolina State Senior Owen Lloyd posted the fastest time in the Men's 1650-yard Freestyle, earning him the ACC Title, an automatic entry to the National Championships, and a new best time. Moments later, an announcement was made that Lloyd had been disqualified for "interference with another swimmer."
The rule(s) at play from the NCAA rulebook:
- Rule 2, Section 5, Article 1a: "Any competitor who interferes with another swimmer during a race shall be disqualified from that race, subject to the discretion of the referee..."
- Rule 2, Section 5, Article 1b: "A swimmer who changes lanes during a heat shall be disqualified."

this sport does damn near everything in its power to disallow fun
Big fan, and I totally agree. Love your videos!
Love the vids bro.
I agree. Swimming is never going to become a popular sport if dumb stuff like this continues.
Totally right kyle, this is also pretty good footage documenting everything happened after the race and disqualification
have they tried Galactic Swimming?
This feels like getting a 0 on a test because you spoke with your friend after you were both done
Except like 50x worse.
Also, Jesus Christ loves you! He is the only way to heaven. May God bless you! 😊
This literally happened to me moments after finishing a test in high school. We were instructed not to talk, and I had forgotten that and commented to my neighbor “that wasn’t so bad.” The teacher gave us both 0s. I had to plead with the teacher to at least excuse my neighbor as it wasn’t her fault that I had leaned over to make the comment. It worked, but I still got the 0.
@@petelancaster6715 The teacher was right. Answering the comment: yes, if you are doing an important test and not only you're not allowed to talk after finishing the test (not at least until everybody else has finished aswell, or the time limit has runed out) but it's explicitly in the rules that you will be disqualified as punishment if that happens, in that case if you break the rules the only one you can blame is yourself.

@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alotlove how you threw in that hustle at the end 😂
The worst thing is he was celebrating with his friend who ALREADY finished the race
yeah but others were still finishing up is the issue. however he didn't impede them so i guess they chalked it up as unsportsmanlike conduct.
*already
Its splitting hairs, I used to competitive swim. Its down to literally what the rules were for that event, word for word. Im betting its written no swimmer shall cross lanes at any point, regardless if the race was finished or not. But yes, the man broke a record, he deserves the win.
@@dajosco115 Its irrelivent, when a swimmer finishes his laps the timer is instantly stopped the secind he hits the wall. but on the other foot, it distracts the audience from cheering on the other swimmers, and "takes some of their glory" at their finish I guess. Not worth DQ my opinion.
@@user-iy1vo2jf2q *irrelevant
I’m just imagining the referees saying something like “great job everyone, we sure showed that guy! Maybe that’ll teach him not to celebrate winning next time!”
Such miserable people…
I'm just imagining thee swimmer saying something like "Yo everyone, I just finished first in a record time! Now everyone else who's still swimming doesn't matter to me. I can cross rings to wherever I want."
Such an entitlement..
@@julius7506 how is it entitlement when there was no interference? He crossed into the lane of the swimmer who had finished (who was also his teammate and celebrating with him). Nobody was affected by his celebration.
Ah yes, he’s entitled for celebrating something he’s been working towards his entire life. So selfish.
@@julius7506You have a sad life
@@mrdoodlesvlogs Firstly, this rule wasn't made by me but by actual experienced swimmers and experts.
Compare this to a field running event. In swimming, there's no finish line that you cross and come out. When a swimmer finishes, he's still in the 'field'. So crossing over into another lane (doesn't matter if the swimmer of that lane has finished or not) is like a person finishing a 100m running race and then moving into other athlete's lane within crossing line. That would certainly distract other athletes.
In sports, a single second of distraction could be the difference between win and loss. Hence this rule. If a professional swimmer didn't know the rule beforehand, may be he needs to relearn the sport.
@@Charlie-yu3qs We don't define life as happy or sad around here. May be it's common at your place.
I like how the woman said “but thats what you do when you win, im sorry, listen theres not a lot of rules i have a problem with but that, i have a problem with that, that young man deserved that win” and the end she sounded really sad
Yeah, I think it's the first time a hear a commentator become so emotional. You can hear in her voice how she was on the verge of crying.
@@Leonion6yeah I could hear it too :(
He would've owned it if he didn't react defeated. He knows he won the race.
If you don't consider yourself the victor, then you aren't. In the interview it should've said: 'Disqualified? So what? I know I won fairly. So, I want to thank those that helped me to winning this swim! I couldn't have done this without you. It was a great honor to participate!'
He cried like a bitch, how pathetic
What are you talking about? The judges decide whether to keep his record & advance him to nationals or not. He could "act like a winner", but it would't change the fact that he's robbed of a career-defining opportunity.
who let a reddit moderator become a referee
LMAO true.

Dude this is the best comment on UA-cam honestly this made me laugh!😂

Next time he wins you know he will not celebrate again; this is how you kill someone’s happiness. So sad.

@@Soskouy Are you dumb? The guy won by a landslide and in the heat of the moment wanted and deserved to celebrate. I can tell you are absolutely miserable.
@@Soskouy where the fuck do you people come from?
@@Soskouy there is a reason you are the only person with that opinion. The part your emotional problems have a problem with isn't what he got disqualified for anyway. he could have done the same thing litterally 3 seconds later, he just made a mistake not thinking lanes on the other end where still active so he couldn't cross into one where his team was already done. This is an optionally enforced rule for causing problems with other lanes that was used at the wrong time. Thanks for pulling out frat party from no where as it isn't slighly relevant to the video. Every living thing that sees your comment will go away knowing you have something wrong with you. just because you see a guy happy about an accomplishment like beating his overal best time doesn't mean something is wrong. work on yourself a little.

it’s stupid. it’s as if robots are enforcing the rule. this clearly isn’t what the rule tries to prevent and any person with common sense can see that.

Unfortunately for him, he screwed up. Rule 2, Section 5, Article 1b: "A swimmer who changes lanes during a heat shall be disqualified." The heat hadn't finished. Stupid rule, that could be revised, but it is what it is. All sports have some unpopular rules but they certainly shouldn't be changed from play to play.

I'm going to be honest and real when I say I genuinely wish there were more egotistical people winning and celebrating their victories. Getting really tired of the "humble and modest" people winning. It's just hating at that point
The race was still on going, the other guy is irrelevant as the rules are you can’t cross lanes while the race is on, he got jumpy.
@@roberthedrick1397 That rule is clearly to punish disrupting swimmers that haven't finished. He crossed into a lane of a swimmer that already finished. We have brains, let's use some fucking logic and give the kid the fucking medal. Shit like this is fucking pathetic.
Swimmer: "YES!!! I WON!! MY BEST TIME EVER!!!"
Referee: "Fun detected. Engaging emergency protocols."
No: Rules violation detected; psychopathy inferred.
It was the right thing to do : when he lets himself fall in the other lane, he makes waves that can affect the chrono of others swimmers. Imagine the first F1 pilot who finishes the race starts to make a burnout and makes smoke al overt the finish line. That's the same thing, and that was the right decison to disqualify him.

Now I WILL look it up: "Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior." Bit of advice: the ad hominem is the worst fallacy of all: It instantly demonstrates you have gifted your opponent a very satisfying win.
That day he won something more than a medal. A long life friend.
It is understandable that you cant cross the lane when swimming but when he finished he saw his teammate was too and crossed the lane. In what way could that affect the race, his teammate was already done and his time was already on the books. How could the referees do that, that is just so rude and I can't imagine how Lloyd would have felt.
Literally everyone is against that decision, the fact they kept the disqualification tells exactly who they are.

Well his heart is in the right place but he was wrong to "defend" Lloyd. This implies that him being disqualified is at least potentially someone else's fault. That isn't the case. Lloyd disqualified himself and there is nothing that could be done about it. It is terrible and upsetting but, there is no injustice to right here.
@@joshuamorrison8332so I've seen a lot of people say that the Rule Lloyd broke is a discretionary rule which means the judges could've decided not to count it as in this case it didn't interfere with Ross who had already finished but they still decided to enforce the rule.

I'm not a sportsperson nor am I sports-enjoyer. Don't know how this even came into my feed, but my heart goes out to that man, he totally deserved that win. Some people are just terrible in this life.
I don’t think people actually watched the entire video. He was disqualified for going into another persons lane, not for celebrating. If he celebrated in his own lane that wouldn’t have happened. Either way it’s dumb because the lane he went into the guy was done
He would've owned it if he didn't react defeated. He knows he won the race.
If you don't consider yourself the victor, then you aren't. In the interview it should've said: 'Disqualified? So what? I know I won fairly. So, I want to thank those that helped me to winning this swim! I couldn't have done this without you. It was a great honor to participate!'

Stupid rules like this are what kills the fun for a lot of people. When watching some of the older, more obscure sports (not necessarily talking about swimming here), they always have dumb rules that were made in the 80s and never changed for no reason.
Seriously, this rule serves no good purpose. You shouldn't get punished because you and your teammate finished before some guy 3 lanes away it's dumb. If the lane he jumps to doesn't have an active swimmer, there is no reason to get him disqualified.
99% agree he won
1% Rule robots say he should be ashamed for mocking the sport

this is what you get when you have brain-dead incompetent judges who does not understand the rules or the reason for said rules. Rule is to avoid interference, of which there was none in this case. The athlete should get the win back, and the judge should be banned from any more ruling after showing clear incompetence.
I hate this.
Imagine getting disqualified for climbing into a competitors lane after the swimming is over.
The heat was still on going. And the rules clearly state do NOT enter another lane before the heats are over.
@@iGrindBudzYou got over 100+ comments, what a loser
Crossing into the lane of someone who is still swimming would be a reasonable disqualification. But the swimmer in the next lane had finished also. This decision is totally bonkers.
That's what I'm saying... Dude was already done and even celebrated WITH him... WTF?!?
Yup. The referee is just a power obsessive human being. This decision tells a lot of his/her character.

This was literally one of those moments where an official is free to interpret a rule as they personally see fit. The rule exists to prevent any interference of another swimmer before the race is finished. 0 swimmers were interfered with. The official is an asshole. Honestly I think the crowd should have gone on riot.
And on top of that consider the following. Some nasty competitor deliberately takes an hour to complete the heat so noone can exit the pool or they are disqualified. To all the blind sheep reciting "rules are rules", I guess you did not think of that.
Nah, it was more so the rules being shit to begin with. Judges make decisions based on the rules, and try to not do it on their own opinions, and its most likely this was always never allowed and they're just applying that. Awful, but probably absolutely not the judges fault, but whoever makes the rules for the national qualification.
