  1. Yeah it's all nice and beautiful until another Swimmer fall off too and demands a 2nd chance. Then the third, the fourth and so on

  2. Oh come on, they are all swimmers, they are all professionals, they all knew the rules. But what the others feel, after that… the others were also extremely tensed doing their best not to false start

  3. No cualquiera hace tan increíble esfuerzo para tener un lugar en ese nivel de competencia… Mis respetos y mis mas grandes respetos por la empatía y humanidad… Bravo

  4. Then why not give a second chance to Vinesh Phogat at the Paris Olympics? Just because she was overweight by 100 grams, that too on the day of finals, does not give you any reason to disqualify her. Totally unacceptable.

  5. What do the rules of swimming say about a second start? I can’t believe judges would have disregarded official rules at the Olympics.

  6. What do the rules of swimming say about a second start? I can’t believe judges would have disregarded official rules at the Olympics. I do a lot of trampoline judging and it’s always tough having to stick to the rules – especially with young kids.

  7. I have no problem with this guy getting a second chance but there have been many instances of disqualification based on following the rules in various other sports. They were also crying, they also gave blood and sweat for the training but never given another chance.

  8. Best thing is western countries mostly got the second chance easily but not in case of remaining countries……so use your 2nd chance wisely not all get this privilege…..

  9. but when it comes to asians-, no 2nd chances, you are directly disqualified. Didnt they too sweat blood and tears to challenge in the olympics?

  10. I think it was judges mistake. After the announcement of "take your marks", the next thing after 2 secs a swimmer hears is the beep for the jump but here they started another announcement which i couldn't understand what it was
