The decision was met with immediate boos from the crowd.
False starts are an inevitable part of track and field. In a sport where every second is precious, it makes sense that there are rules in place to ensure that no one has an unfair advantage. What you don’t often hear, however, is a DQ in a distance event.
After the field of 22 runners stepped up to the line awaiting the starting gun, Gregg took a half step forward before the gun was fired, then quickly stepped back behind the line. The runners were asked to stand up for a restart—something not uncommon in a distance race—but moments later, an official approached Gregg and showed him a red card, indicating that one of the pre-race favorites was now disqualified.Immediately, a chorus of boos erupted from the crowd.
