Do you think these calls were fair?
This weekend at the USA rank and field championship, Olympic gold medalist Tier Davis Woodhall and her husband, five time Paralympic champion, Hunter Woodhall, were both disqualified. I'm gonna tell you why. Let's start with Hunter. He crossed the finish line first in the men's pair of 400, finishing forty six forty tier, an incredible time, but was disqualified for using this foam block. The weird part is he used this starting block earlier in these very races and in other competitions, and there was no problem. Tier has two prosthetic legs and said that the block helps him start. He also said the rule was not clear. Then came Tara's turn. It looked like she won the long jump after she landed a 7.16 meter jump in her final attempt. She celebrated, did interviews, was running around the stadium, having fun, the whole nine yards. This is the margin. After officials reviewed, they ruled Tara fouled, making Alyssa Jones the new national champion. What do y'all think of this? Do you think these calls were fair?
