The United States team fouled: the relay area did not complete the handover of the three or four sticks.
Early this morning, after Hualong was released. The report "Chongqing Referee Behind the Foul of 4* 100 m by the United States Team in the World Athletics Championships" by www. com has attracted many netizens' attention, and they also want to know how the United States team fouled in the competition.
Guo, dean of the School of Physical Education of Southwest University, was one of the referees of the 20 15 World Championships in Beijing, and had the most say on the foul of the United States team. Because the foul of the American team happened to appear in the relay area where his referee group was responsible.
Guo told Hualong reporter. Com learned today that the relay area of men's 4x 100 competition is 20m, and there is a pre-run area of 10m in front of the relay area. Athletes who take the baton must enter the pre-run area before entering the relay area.
He said that athletes can start in the pre-run area, but the handover of the baton must be completed in the 20-meter relay area. In the third and fourth baton handover, the United States team was out of the relay zone when the baton handover was completed, so it was a foul.
Guo said that to be a good referee, we must first be very familiar with the rules, and secondly, we must see the athletes' foul actions in an instant and make judgments.
On the evening of 29th, many netizens in Weibo's circle of friends said that he fouled the US team and let China win the silver medal. Guo said that this statement is wrong. The referee team only provides the referee with the fact of the foul after discovering the athlete's foul, which is judged by the referee.
