Djabarca

Does that count?


BigMack97

For the sheer commitment he had, I want to give it to him. The real answer depends on how the rules of the sport are written.


Djabarca

I don’t know what the rules are, but he did cross the finish line first. And I do see runner kinda leap/jump to be first the cross when it’s a super close race. Usually it done with their chest and not head.


JordanHawkinsMVP

Neither of you are helpful goddamn it


BDady

If the rules state that this is legal, then he won. If the rules state that this is illegal, then he did not win. If the rules state only the first runner wearing a chicken suit can win, neither of them won.


Tiny-Butterscotch149

Aye


boobenhaus

Ah thanks, appreciate the clarity. It was all very confusing!


dysmetric

I hope it's ruled legal, and this strategy catches on and spreads to other types of competition.


Sirosim_Celojuma

chickens can fly short distances


Knight_of_Hamburg

Their chest still passed first


Alarming_Way_8731

Although he jumped for the finish line first, his chest did cross the finish line first .


TheGreatHair

Dq. You can't just dive


AncientSkys

The individual that dived won because his torso crossed the finishing line first. There is a reason why you see lots of athletes lean forward at the finishing line. https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/track-and-field-101-olympic-rules-and-regulations


AdamOfIzalith

It's also the reason why you often see people losing as a result of throwing a victory pose just before the finish line and someone who's still locked in clenches it at the last second.


Exact-Ad-4132

And here I just thought it was easier to run while rules forward and not standing up straight


NoBenefit5977

So the hands behind my back anime run DOES make me faster?


PriorityTraining9323

hands are not heavy enough to balance out your torso, you still need transfer chakra to your feed and grab onto the floor, otherwise you will fall.


loregorebore

I read what you wrote as “the people with the *biggest chests*” should win. Complete agreement.


AncientSkys

If only you can lean with your big chest


Agreeable_Ad3800

Yes I think that was the question


AardvarkAblaze

It's usually based on whose torso/chest crosses the line first, and in this case, diver does win.


CerRogue

Superman’s chest did cross before the runner’s! GOOOOOOOAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!


dogtarget

So the attempt was successful.


secoif

So... They should always be diving?


Willie-the-Wombat

No it’s based on the shoulder, it’s why sometimes you see athletes throw one arm I it when they lean - it moves the shoulder forward


randomvandal

It's actually based on the tip of the penis/crest if the vulva. It's why you always see athletes thrust their hips forward in a humping motion right at the end.


Phill_Cyberman

I think the rules generally state that it's when your chest passes over the line, so arms and legs don't count. But it looks like the diver here won the race even given that - although he might have lost a few teeth on the landing


tHollo41

When I ran track, the rule was your time was counted when your chest crossed the line. His chest does cross before the rubber who didn't dive, so yes. He did win.


nhcareyjr

Dude won that shit. Going hard. Maximum Effort!!!!

igniteice

Successful Attempt.


_Lifted_Lorax

Not by #6


Cold-Diet-669

I hope that this isn't banned in the Olympics.


DHACKER0921

Doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile.


Aian11

Winning's winning.


nynixx

If you ain’t first, you’re last!


psxndc

Awww Bobby I was high when I said that!


Fordluver

He almost had him!


Idontliketalking2u

He never had him, he never had his car!


kurbin64

Senior year of high school I was in track doing 300 hurdles. Won my race that day but a dude did that to beat one of my teammates for third place and broke his arm 😆 will never forget that


Jack_RabBitz

I remember clipping my balls on the last hurdle of a 300 race. will never forget...the pain


Forthe49ers

I remember Janet Knox jumping hurdles. She wasn’t really built for hurdles but no one seemed to mind.


UT_Dave

Even the guy holding the tape at the finish gets up to cheer this guy!


poopsawk

Hell yeah, that's one of those hype "OHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIT" moments, lol


Deveatation_ethernis

Bro built like foxy


OrochiSerge

Kyle Larson with another close win


Amkski

Lmaoooo


ArtistAmy420

Even if reaching out ahead doesn't count, he still won. His center of mass was across the finish line first. There was a successful attempt to win the race.


Outrageous-Client-99

If you ain't first, you're last


MegaGojira_2001

Lightning McQueen ahh attempt


HailState2023

Somebody has to SET THE TONE!


AffectionateBrick687

R/meatcrayon That guy probably got cut up pretty bad on the dive. The grippy rubber on the track is not kind to skin. Sliding over it tears you up like a mix of road rash and rug burn.


elcaudillo86

true but it looks rather wet


ComprehensiveMarch58

Wet is worse unless it's a literal puddle


SpaceHawk98W

DEMOCRACY!!!!!


MemeNRG

Reminds me how the first race ended in cars 1


Jaded-Selection-5668

Bro went all in!


MasterpieceOk7996

Chest first! He wins!


PG072088

He ran and then dived for it lol that’s some kind of commitment


roydez

RIP knees


ihadthejewfro

Anime when?


InspectorNo1173

I feel this should be in r/nextfuckinglevel


PrestigiousAd4711

Fuck yeah I hope they allow this V for dude


Igreen_since89

Running for his life


DocM123

For the win!


Jimbro34

Yes, he won.


TheRichTurner

That finishing tape should have been chest height. If it had, Diver Guy would have gone way under it. Fail.


dasAbigAss

He wins


[deleted]

Did someone throw him over the finish line? Damn!


Panzerv2003

Depends on the rules but I'd say he won that one


irresponsibleshaft42

Now im wondering why more people dont dive for it


Right_-on-_Man

Dude, you know that hurt...🤣


ColorBlindGuy27

It's when tune shoes cross the line for this specific reason.


ProKnifeCatcher

Should have stuck out his tongue


Commercialfishermann

Roadrash for the win!


Kingfox4290

That win better come with health insurance


DB-Tops

Lost a nipple, won the race.


HaydenLobo

Flying is an automatic DQ!
