It was my 2nd DQ for my whole life (first if I was ten)
I got disqualified last sunday on the german masters championchips because of the dumbest rule I ever heard.
There is a rule you have NOT to be submerge on the finish on the backstroke.
WTF is this bs.?!?
This rule make no sense to me. You have no advantage. I mean you are almost always submerge, if you finished at backstroke or not???
btw I finished first with 5 second ahead
complain to your FINA rep.
that rule has been around at least 1 full year.
a lot of the elite swimmers were diving (submerging) on their backs and dolphin kicking to the wall instead of swimming.
so, if you dolphin kicked 11m off the turn wall and then dolphin kick the 5m into the wall...that is 16m a clear violation of the 15m rule even if broken into 2 parts. with no clear way to measure how much you did earlier in the length and now on this 2nd part. they simply made it illegal to do at all.
doesnt matter if you got 1st or last, your swim was illegal.
