'Did the punishment fit the crime? In my opinion, it did not.'
“No sport can claim to have a rule book that covers all possible scenarios or situations.”, in crossing the line together, Taylor-Brown and Learmonth violated ITU Rule 2.11.f, which states: “Athletes who finish in a contrived tie situation, where no effort to separate their finish times has been made will be DSQ.”
Many people argue all professional athletes should know this rule, but in all honesty, neither myself nor my husband had heard of it before this event . Ignorance is admittedly not a good defense for violation. But for the officials in Tokyo, it seems, nor is collective achievement, extraordinary performance, or rare camaraderie in an individual sport.Rules exist to provide fair and equal competition, and they should not to be taken lightly or sporadically.
I strongly believe that Taylor-Brown and Learmouth acted from unadulterated, exuberant instinct. On an Instagram post, Taylor-Brown apologized for any upset she and Learmonth caused, writing, “We are simple humans, enjoying what we do & who we do it with.”
