What was she DQ’d For?
The official observed that she was past vertical toward her back leaving a wall in her race. (Essentially not being enough toward her stomach when her feet left the wall).
Is the video of her race online? I can’t find it. Thank you!
Omega timing results are not working
Useless writing. How about mentioning what stroke she’s competing in?
Matt – you really can’t figure that out?!
Sorry that got lost in the update! It was the 200 butterfly-updated again to include that!

Please learn how to read.
Actually, it’s 200 Butterfly. Please learn how to spell.
Dude, you made me laugh. ?
I fell for the poor girl that thought she had made the final
Is it possible? I mean, i thought they don’t turn decisions by video evidence on the international level.
