Such a stupid rule! How did he “interfere” with another swimmer when the other swimmer completed the race as well???

Guess he will follow the rules next time. Too bad so sad.

its a trap question by comentator, when they ask his friend what cause the cualification, answering that question is literally admiting that his really breaking the rule 😅

That actually upset me. Poor kid.

He can say he is female to win the female championship now

I think that it’s obviously appropriate to have a rule that prevents swimmers who have finished from interfering with the ones who are still racing… but that’s clearly not what happened here. The partition that he climbed onto was between himself and his teammate who had also finished. This is where common sense should enter the chat.

A bunch of losers in a comments thinking they are smart writing "rules are rules'

Rules are rules.

Breaks my heart. That’s an injustice!

Just disqualify the ref…. Easy fix. You’re fired , ruling overruled

So, did he win or not?

Seems like it was personal.

Whata gay rule

Rules are rules I don’t see the problem here

does anyone know what went on to happen ? i hope they remedied this situation, neither of them deserve that kind of win or that kind of loss.

Biggest heel moment in WWE history

that is the worst thing I've ever seen. the actual defeat on that boys face

How did it end ?

I'm all for rules and order. But this, nope I'm not down with this garbage. He didn't even celebrate really at all. That rule is to keep any swimmer from interfering with an active person who is still racing. The coach should file a protest and if necessary, pull the team out of competition. The young man that stuck up for his teammate is gold. If I were on that team , I'd walk off and tell them where they can stick that medal.

“How can we make swimming unchill?”

That's the craziest thing... 😡

Rules are rules.

Good man for not exepting your team mates madal. Thats true friendship right there!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

I'm a swimmer.. I've celebrating like that before

5:04 you can hear her tearing up

Disqualified by a bunch of wannabe has-beens

This is why I hate swimming. A nice person who wins a competition fair and square but gets disqualified for literally no reason. Then there’s the loser who gets a free pass because of a dumb technicality. I’m glad that the second guy opposed the refs ruling. I get that the refs have to call out “cheating” by the players but why do you have to do it when the race was won over and done. The entire stadium hated the refs for that bs call. The swimmer was devastated ,broken down by winning a competition, having a one way ticket to nationals, but having that stripped away by a call that wasn’t even true. Shame on you referees and the people who agree with the referee’s call.

Womp womp

Shoulda sent that ref to the fuckin' ER

100% deserved repect the rules ffs

What a tight ass decision, a way to destroy a young life.

There are rules and the spirit of the rules. This is obviously a case where a legitimate rule was put in place but the spirit of the rule was not followed and some tone deaf judge made an extremely poor and unjustified decision.

There was absolutely no interference! The other swimmer had already reached the wall. Way to crush a kids dreams 😢

In Germany we say: "De Regelz are Regelz". 😂 No, I feel sorry for him.

The official enforced a screwed up rule. Change or modify the rule. I’m not blaming the officials.

Maybe that rule should take context of the situation. But if that rule makes it clear they can’t cross lanes until the race is over, then they enforced that rule correctly. It’s like getting pulled over for speeding and tell the officer you shouldn’t get a ticket because your speed didn’t cause an accident. The speeding limits were put to reduce the risk of an accident. But you get a ticket for doing the speeding, no matter if you caused an accident or not.

And in the same country a "star" can slap a host and still receive an Oscar!

Jealous old fools

Lets call it what it is -- cheating by the umps. Shame on them. That boy won fair and square. Maybe they found out he is a Republican.

Fuck it, blame the woman. She said “sit on the line son you deserve it!!” Like the fuck? The staff told him to 💀

The rule is dumb. He was DONE with the race. The race was OVER. It’s not disturbance if the race is over because no one’s swimming to win anymore they’re swimming to get back to land. And he didn’t even go on purpose he FELL while he was sitting on the line.

Swimming allows biological men to compete against women, yet you can't celebrate with your teammates? 🤔

Dmb Americans strike again

Also people stop calling this man a “kid”. He’s a grown man

Sorry but there are certain rules in sports which you have to follow. Yes it’s painful and unfair, but it also prevents normal sports from turning into World Wrestling Entertainment.

I expected to be outraged with swimmer's indecency. But I was outraged with indecent referees.

I respect why they have that rule, but you can see it didn't impact anyone's performance. Maybe, caution him, but let him have his win? If the other swimmers in that race are on his side, I don't see why you wouldn't allow him his win. Don't punish him for being human dude :(

I would have taken legal action. He didn't interfere with anothers peeformance or placement at all. The ref could have given a warning. Such an asshole move!

Oh, common. He didn't interfere. The race was finished! Some people just live to see others suffer.

What a disgrace. Hope he gets reinstated and the officials sacked and exposed. Pathetic
