So then why did we see one yesterday in the women's 100m? The athletes got down in the blocks, came to the set position and somebody in lane 1 or 2 jumped. They all came up, trotted around a bit, and started to head back to the blocks, we cut to a short taped interview with Marion while everyone gets reset, we then have a fair start. So what was so integral to the story about that particular jump? It certainly was far less important that the two false starts that put the Clown Prince out of the men's race and which were not shown (thank goodness!). Why did we need to sit through it in the women's race? To me it just looks like one of those taped false starts that I'm told are never shown.
