Re-Run the 800.
Update: Rojo doesn't beliefve the race should be re-run as he's now watched some replays. While he thinks it was an accident, Mu does maybe appear to be at fault if anyone was at fault.. But he's still fascinated that the rule book allows it and yet he's never seen it. HE's long said on the podcast he hopes to see it happen once before he dies.
ALl of that being said, I've rewatched the video now several times. No re-run should happen.
FYI. Here is the rule. Rule 163
. Any competitor or participant responsible for jostling, running across, or obstructing
another competitor or participant so as to impede his or her progress shall be liable
to disqualification in that event. The Referee shall have the authority to order the
race be re-held, excluding any disqualified competitor(s), for one, some or all
competitors seriously affected by jostling or obstruction or allow such competitors
to compete in a subsequent round of the race. Normally, such competitor(s) should
have completed the event with bona fide effort. The Referee shall also have the
authority to order the race be re-held or advance one, some or all competitors seriously
affected by jostling or obstruction that is unintentional or caused otherwise than by a
competitor if it is just and reasonable to do so
As Jon Gault said on the podcast, there wasn't anyone DQd, so is it still possible to re-run it?
