I was watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoleuM1hIDQ and saw that Bailey supposedly false started. Im sorry if i dont really understand the false start rules but how was that a false start. What is wrong with starting exactly when the gun shoots? I always thought a false start was when someone started to run before that gun was shot, not right when the gun was shot. Can someone please explain this to me?

Re: Question about false starts
That would mean the athlete anticipated the gun. If anyone that reacts to the gun by faster than 0.1 seconds then they are called back for a false start.Originally posted by Cam9412
Interesting web site here, http://condellpark.com/kd/reactiontime.htm and i can recall other discussions on this forum in the past too. So it might be worth search the archive for older threads (such as this one). -
Re: Question about false starts
You want to see who is fastest, not who is luckiest in anticipating the gun.Comment
