3rd ever TT athlete to compete in a field event @ the olympics yes?  Borel-Brown, Candace Scott and now him?  Unbelieveable

why? and remembered by whom?
a rule is a rule, and most of the time it falls against TnT, first time it fell in our favour.  Enjoy the moment, every dog has his day, and today it's ours!

That may be so, but they broke the rules. Is a tough loss because that small step aint really make a difference, but that's how it goes

Scientifically it does. Think about it. He shortened his race by stepping on/over the line. That could equal a hundredth or tenth of a second.

But we shouldn't have been in the place where we were towards the end of the race.
