Swimmer gets disqualified for celebrating (ORIGINAL) 

Big fan, and I totally agree. Love your videos!

Love the vids bro.

I agree. Swimming is never going to become a popular sport if dumb stuff like this continues.

Totally right kyle, this is also pretty good footage documenting everything happened after the race and disqualification

have they tried Galactic Swimming?

No: Rules violation detected; psychopathy inferred.

It was the right thing to do : when he lets himself fall in the other lane, he makes waves that can affect the chrono of others swimmers. Imagine the first F1 pilot who finishes the race starts to make a burnout and makes smoke al overt the finish line. That's the same thing, and that was the right decison to disqualify him.

@@Zuriki_ but look how small those waves are

@@Zuriki_ “”””waves””””, bro he literally broke a record, who cares????

@mickeymousesupremency149 Having worked in the mental health field in numerous positions for over 25 years, including direct client care, and without yet searching Google, I'd say it means presenting the personality disorders and conditions of a psychopath. Now I WILL look it up: "Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior." Bit of advice: the ad hominem is the worst fallacy of all: It instantly demonstrates you have gifted your opponent a very satisfying win.

Except like 50x worse. Also, Jesus Christ loves you! He is the only way to heaven. May God bless you! 😊

This literally happened to me moments after finishing a test in high school. We were instructed not to talk, and I had forgotten that and commented to my neighbor “that wasn’t so bad.” The teacher gave us both 0s. I had to plead with the teacher to at least excuse my neighbor as it wasn’t her fault that I had leaned over to make the comment. It worked, but I still got the 0.

​@@petelancaster6715 The teacher was right. Answering the comment: yes, if you are doing an important test and not only you're not allowed to talk after finishing the test (not at least until everybody else has finished aswell, or the time limit has runed out) but it's explicitly in the rules that you will be disqualified as punishment if that happens, in that case if you break the rules the only one you can blame is yourself.

@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot thanks but kinda random

@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alotlove how you threw in that hustle at the end 😂

I'm just imagining thee swimmer saying something like "Yo everyone, I just finished first in a record time! Now everyone else who's still swimming doesn't matter to me. I can cross rings to wherever I want." Such an entitlement..

@@julius7506 how is it entitlement when there was no interference? He crossed into the lane of the swimmer who had finished (who was also his teammate and celebrating with him). Nobody was affected by his celebration. Ah yes, he’s entitled for celebrating something he’s been working towards his entire life. So selfish.

@@julius7506You have a sad life

@@mrdoodlesvlogs Firstly, this rule wasn't made by me but by actual experienced swimmers and experts. Compare this to a field running event. In swimming, there's no finish line that you cross and come out. When a swimmer finishes, he's still in the 'field'. So crossing over into another lane (doesn't matter if the swimmer of that lane has finished or not) is like a person finishing a 100m running race and then moving into other athlete's lane within crossing line. That would certainly distract other athletes. In sports, a single second of distraction could be the difference between win and loss. Hence this rule. If a professional swimmer didn't know the rule beforehand, may be he needs to relearn the sport.

@@Charlie-yu3qs We don't define life as happy or sad around here. May be it's common at your place.

Yeah, I think it's the first time a hear a commentator become so emotional. You can hear in her voice how she was on the verge of crying.

@@Leonion6yeah I could hear it too :(

He would've owned it if he didn't react defeated. He knows he won the race. If you don't consider yourself the victor, then you aren't. In the interview it should've said: 'Disqualified? So what? I know I won fairly. So, I want to thank those that helped me to winning this swim! I couldn't have done this without you. It was a great honor to participate!'

He cried like a bitch, how pathetic

What are you talking about? The judges decide whether to keep his record & advance him to nationals or not. He could "act like a winner", but it would't change the fact that he's robbed of a career-defining opportunity.

LMAO true.

The judges are correct. You don't go into another lane or get out until all swimmers have finished. That's the rule and he would be aware of it. He screwed up.

⁠@@fireskycam9889 read the rule book again

@@fireskycam9889 The rule might state for interference, but no other swimmer in that race would have been affected by what he was doing, the lane he fell into was finished too. I could understand if he was still swimming but should not have been a dq

@@fireskycam9889 Stop being a spaniel you're whole life. Rules are there to remedy problems - not to be blindly adhered to. The point of the rule is to stop interference between swimmers - yet he went into the lane of a FINISHED swimmer.

So the kid so much better than the others that he had the time to finish, realize he won, see he has an incredible time, go over a lane scream how happy proud he is before dropping in the other lane that already finished. BUT when he did there was still people not finished and that wen't agaisn't him? He won. He did nothing wrong. Judge is a morron.

all sport judges are there for the power trip. shame is not compatible with that desire.

A young man trains hard his whole life to become the best! An old POS gets to judge him in 2 seconds, ruining everything he's worked for. Human beings suck. Society sucks. The more you know 🌈

thats what you young kids think these days. Rules are put in place in society for reasons. doesnt matter circumstance.

​@@mikegrazio5376the judges could have given them all a warning before, plus it's ridiculous to disqualify someone just because they celebrated their long awaited victory 💀

usually they are parents who really care about ALL these kids. It's tragic but absolutely the right call.

They all volunteered to be Umps at little league games and yelled at children for breaking big major league game rules.

@@AdamFontenet-jf3qpyou're too literal...

Some people were like "but the others weren't done swimming" like my brother in christ how would those little splashes he made "interfere" with the others

before the race itself was finished.. there were other swimmer still racing... but still a stupid decision in this case but rule is rule i guess wcy

​@@AiVaultGuyRules are made for a reason, to blindly follow them is ignorant at best. Context is very important

@@AiVaultGuy and he didn’t break any rules as he didn’t interfere with the other swimmer’s race. both swimmers were done when he crossed into the other lane

Nope, its just the application of the rules. The swimmer knew the rules. If he didn't like the rules, he should chose another sport. Every sport, btw, have the same 'seemingly' bonker rules. EVERY sport!

@@evertvdb000the rule is for interference with another swimmer for crossing the line, the swimmer already finished therefore he didnt intervene with the swimmer. this was literally either a dude with poor eyesight or argueing that crossing affects everyone at the swiming pool

​@@bandi642he still crossed the line before the whole race ended so he's guilty

​@@itdobelikedattho8112unnecessary

​@bandi642 Others hadn't finished the race yet...

His reaction made it worth it

Great point 👉

💯

Big law suit , who made that decision? Its not like that lane was still swimming

Sorry, pal. Your backhanded wit gets a you a forehanded rebuke: There's no sport without competitors. Like so many other things, it's all about RESPECT.

God loves you all

@@dizo-jp2tdgod wouldn’t have judged him so unfairly

@@alcyonaecorrect!

​@@dizo-jp2td God doesn't love these judges

They probably found out he supports Trump. Wouldn't be the first time I see something like that.

Swiming is not a race with many contestants at the same time like a marathon or a cycling. In swiming only a few peoples compete at a time. So the "his friend already finnished" is bad sportmanship if other people are still going. Yes the scuse "interfering" is dumb, it should be the "race" is not over.

@@martinksk88What you are saying makes no sense!

It's not the NCAA. It's ACC officials in this case.

It's most likely retaliation towards NC State by disgruntled ACC members. NC State has the current head of the ACC and all the big schools (Clemson, UNC, FSU) have a grudge against him for various reasons related to other sports​@@rustytutton9473

Yea, that ref was an asshole for following the rules.

Celebrating a win is toxic masculinity thus it's hate speech. Wokeism and feminism has destroyed almost everything that used to be fun.

@@peach495 That refs job was totally in jeopardy if he didn't enforce a rule that didn't change the outcome. The rule only exists to prevent a swimmer from crossing into a lane where a swimmer is still trying to finish, obviously a competent ref would be able to understand *why* a rule exists.

Swimmers need to chill with the celebration lol bro you should wait till you change out of your undies before you start playing grab ass with your little buddies😂
