Plain and simple? Give me a break.
There are so many factors that can lead to a false start, other than guessing
wrong. Let's see; there is leaning to far forward in the blocks, literally
falling out of the blocks; there is hearing a camera click, a person yell, a
balloon pop; there is the starter forgetting that 3 comes after 2; there is
the runner flinching next to you; um, there is plain and simple nervousness
of the race. But to you all this is cheating, plain and simple, right?
I will spare everyone the anticipation v guessing argument, and the RT
thread. False starting is not a benign event. And running the 100 m is not
exclusive of starting fast, fast starting is inclusive. I have never seen so
many people argue against the very nature of the thing they love the most.
Maybe, when you come to respect the complexity of the sprints it will make
better sense to you.
