people do not understand that this is years of waking up at 4am, 5+ hours of training every day, no social life, blood, sweat, and tears to get to this level all to ruin it in a small mistake. so happy the officials let him continue
@@saivarshithpaluru7684 Everyone wants to win no one goes there just to lose. But the struggle is real, appreciate that they made it to Olympics. Participating in Olympics is not an easy thing which we couldn't achieve through overnight
@Shahan Don't know how many times he did Olympics but he is a pro. So nerves would be something he can deal with. Someone else explained it in the comment section about the diving pose being on the edge of balance and push. Don't think it was the nerves but it could.
I cant imagine so many people bashing him for losing this race. To be able to compete at Olympics level he's won thousands of races in his life, worked harder than any of you everyday to achieve his dream of being an Olympian
Agree. When people say "being able to compete in olympic is an achievement itself" is very very true. Not every athlete is qualified for the olympic. You have to win a lot of races, enter tons of tournaments and pass few qualifications in order to even enter olympic. To win is a whole different journey. But to enter itself is very very hard and very demanding. I love the fact that he still continue to do his best in the race despite the conflict. He has that spirit that does not belong to every athlete.
There's a worse true scenario... : there was a time in the French track and field organization, where the French government "forgot" to register their world champion 4x100 sprinters for the 1992 Olympics ( I am not sure which Olympics , it was either 1992 or 1996). World champions sprinters training and dieting hard and strict for 4 years for nothing. Some of them ended up in low paying jobs after that incident.
So sad to see him collecting his things and leaving with tears. Comments talk about him being 8th in the end. But at least he was the 8th fastest person in that category so…..
@Boxing Fan well, I disagree with you for many reasons. First, he lost in last place in the end. Next, the olympics often allow these false starts back in. It's perfectly inside of the rules judges can do anything.

I remember when this happened to me when I was training, I wasn’t competing or anything but I felt so horrible about it. I appreciate the judges giving him a second chance!
@Boxing Fan I can assure you the other swimmers are most likely happy for that guy getting a second chance. They, of all people, should know how painful it would be to lose such an opportunity because of a small mistake. Why shouldn’t they deserve a second chance? That swimmer is a human being, and just like any of us he can slip up and lose his balance. It could happen to anyone really, if the other swimmers looked even just slightly upset about the situation it’s probably because they felt empathy for that guy
@@sebastionfranklin907 getting last place in the OLYMPICS is still a huge accomplishment. It’s a one in a lifetime experience and I’m sure just being able to be part of that made not only that guy’s day, but his whole life!
Jessica its really hard to stop yourself from going after you false start. the buzzer happens at the same time after they say take your mark every time. so you start to go when you think its gonna go but the official didn't buzz like they usually do
He didn't want to react and kick off before the buzzer, but it didn't come. I can only think that the command to step down came just before he finally went, and that's why they reinstated. But very lucky.
*For the non-swimmers in the comments*: when you are on the blocks before a race with your feet on the wedge and your arms below you, once you start going forward there is no stopping that momentum untill you hit the water. The way swimmers position their bodies on the blocks is so that they are just barely before the threshhold where they would fall forward, this allows them to pass that threshold faster when the officials start the heat so they can a quicker start. What likely happened was when they said "stand please", he heard the sound at the beginning of the sentence and started forward just the tiniest bit, and although he realized it wasn't the buzzer and didn't keep going pushing forward, it was too late and he was already on his way to the water. This happens all the time at my state meets, in fact moreso than local meets because of people's nerves. As for why officials say "stand please", there are a variety of reasons. Some of the more frequent ones are technical errors, a swimmer does not look positioned correctly at the blocks, one swimmer is behind the rest when it comes to getting into position, people start moving forward (such as in this case), etc. Sometimes they will do it just to test the swimmers and make sure they are not anticipating the buzzer, although this would be more rare at an olympic level meet.
An accidental false start is kind of like losing. It's really unfortunate for the swimmer, especially because this was at the olympics. This is why he was so sad.
The way in which we picked up his stuff defined the pain he faced watching all his lifetime struggle going to vain....So glad they gave him a second chance....Also an amazing audience ! 🙌🙏🙌
So many hours of training and sacrifice these athletes do just to reach this pinnacle stage and to go w/o having a shot at the olympic medal, it can be actually heartbreaking... Really happy for him
@@cylltndn7935 The pressure is super high when you represent an entire country. It's not a stupid mistake. It happens, most of the athletes are nervous or whatever and this is something that happens.
In the 1970s my dad would wrestle with one of the best in the state. He qualified for the only olympics in the history of the olympics that was cancelled, due to tensions with Russia. Working his whole life and achieving that only to be completely shut down.
That's not how the Olympics work. Each country sends THEIR top few who are their 'best'. There could be 50, or more, Americans, Australians, Jamaicans, etc (take your pick) who are better than the 8th place finisher, who is from Spain. Not taking away from his accomplishment..but clarifying the point.
When he was holding that nose..my heart breaks along with his 💔 that 2nd chance was a reborn. What a relief they didn't allow the game to start yet and just let him be the only one jumped into the pool, the story might gone opposite if everybody's already in the water.
YEARS of his life training for this moment and he gets disqualified for leaning forward too far? Glad the officials noticed it wasn't a real false start, just an accident.
The judges didn't penalize him because it was clear that the swimmer wasn't intentionally trying to cheat. The replay shows he lost his balance. Most swimmers are not so lucky. Even if its a mistake but it kinda looks intentional , they get sent off.
I think he rushed it. His mistake was that he jumped after the guy on the mic said "take your mark".. he mumbled something after and he probably thought he said "go" but by then his center of gravity was so over the point of no return.
I am very sure that he didnt get a second chance because the reffs felt pity for him, but because there was something wrong with the starting signal. I was a professional swimmer for many years and probably heard many thousands of starting signals. And this one was definitly weird...
For sure, the rules are the rules. It sounds like the voice said “take your mark” and then “stay in place” but I may be hearing that wrong. I wonder if they tried to sound the start signal and it didn’t work. It’s only fair to let him back if the signal isn’t working as expected.
@@laughernine4320 I think so too. The guy saying "take your marks" is not directly responsible for the electrical starting signal, I think. I definitely know that sometimes something goes wrong with the technical stuff. There are even moments when the starting signal comes, but it is too early or too late. The few times I saw this, the race was repeated.
I read somewhere that he was confused with some sound in the public seating area but I do not know the accuracy of it. I am happy they let him back tho
He heard them say "stand please" which he thought was the buzzer. All swimmers are waiting for the buzzer and whenever they hear a noise they react, and when you in the driving diving position you are only a few millimeters away from falling in, and once you leant forwards a little you have to fully commit
Second chances is the best part in any form of life- because this will determine the action who gives it and the other person who will perform it better than what it's already been performed.
@@NomineTuoDaGloriam Someone who abandoned and betrayed me said, she will forgive me and this was out of the blue- but I told her I DON'T WANT IT. I told her that the person who you want to forgive is the person who was asking for it and not me. The old version of me came out and she neglected me instead- this version of myself is the same, but without emotions. v1, v2 and v3. All good but nobody understood. All that I did was for all of them but myself. But I will thank her the next time I will see her. I also said, the next time that she want to get back with me "whatever it is" I want her to come correct or else, she will be cut off. Because, as much as I want her.. I don't want it. Because it's not right.
it always fascinated me how human body can learn certain set of movements in almost robotic way his body learnt mechanism of diving so perfectly, that it was automatically executed when he was simply falling
Him losing everything, waking up every morning to train for hours, all that mental stress, the impact this would make when he returns to spain and everybody knows about this mistake.. the embarrassment and shame....all this and more went through his mind until the referees gave him another chance...man I never cried so fast.
It's to keep you from predicting the horn; you're supposed to dive upon hearing it, not dive because you think you might hear it. That being said, the Spanish swimmer deserved a second chance. He jumped off the block because he thought the person speaking through the horn was the buzzer. And because the buzzer should be the only thing following "take your mark," he shouldn't have been disqualified for reacting to the announcer's voice again.
Problem is you cant immediately stop all the swimmers if everyone is already in the water and one has a false start. In this case, the very probable reason they readmitted him was because no one had jumped in yet.
every athlete deserve a second chance when he/she makes a false start. Olympic committee needs to review this issue. In Tokyo Olympics 3 sprinters were disqualified due to false start and one sprinter disqualified today due to false start. They should be given second chance.
In the 100m and 200m I think the rule does make a bit of sense since your false start also hurts the other athletes since they have to expend energy and concentration. But in longer events and especially in cases like this where he basically just lost his balance and the gun never even fired, they should have compassion for the massive effort and sacrifices these guys have made every single day to be there
@@HemangxVyas 37/50 Olympic swimmers is a feat that most will never achieve in their lives. He should be proud for even qualifying. Sports is never about being the first, its about consistency.
Imagine going all the way to what is presumably the OLYMPICS, to have the only chance most never get to in their lives, then just slip up the slightest.
I have to say though: The starting signal normally appears very shortly after the "take your marks", in this case it took perhaps longer than he was used to, and that might have been what caused the mistake. Does anybody have information on a statement by him after the race? Thanks in advance!
@@kwebster62 That is true. However, come to think of it, there was an announcement going on, while he was prematurely jumping into the pool. I did not unverstand it. But perhaps that was the official stop of the starting procedure. And then, I believe it doesn't matter, if he was the only one to jump too early.
@@richardbader5580 USA Today article said "According to a FINA official, the swimmer in lane 3 (Denmark’s Anton Ispen) held up the start of the race by moving. The starter asked him to stand still, and that’s when the swimmer in lane 7 (Duran Navia) lost his balance while waiting for Ispen to be motionless. FINA ruled that it was not Duran Navia’s fault, and he could compete."
@@fayyd9445 i dont think you understand what he means you close minded fool. He saying that he would jump, not because of his kindness or to show support, but because he would think that he propably missed the start. Especially if the person is focused
@@LuManKrix to be honest, a mistake and second chance like that can completely throw off your mental state. he's been prepping for years, and then he's distraught just before starting. not sure what the number is, but a large percentage of the battle is mental fitness.
@@davesapartment No, 37th out of 50 who competed. There are likely other swimmers from countries who dominate in the sport who didn't get to go to the Olympics and are faster than he. Anyone remember Eddie the Eagle?
"Duran Navia finished eighth in his heat with a time of 3:53.40, over four seconds slower than the 3:48.96 he swam to earn a spot in the Summer Games. He would’ve needed to finish in a time better than 3:45.43 to swim in the final." 3:48.96 is competitive. It would have placed him in 8th place at the US 2016 Olympic Trials. As "Each country is allowed to enter up to two swimmers per individual event", he would not have been close to qualifying to be on the US team in this event. But, I agree they are all darn impressive...just to make it and compete in the Olympics. I'm glad he got his 2nd chance.
Not only did he train hard years for this, but his friends, family, extended family, people who he knows but not in contact with anymore but recognize him all saw his mistake, as well as people he doesn't know personally, and some probably thought he was trying to cheat. That stings
¡Excelente video y gran enseñanza! 1) El dolor por la frustración de ser castigado ante la impotencia de ser uno mismo el responsable de la causa. 2) La vida te puede dar nuevas oportunidades. 3) La celebración de la gente demuestra que el deporte siempre une a los pueblos.
so heartwarming the reception he got from the crowd, everyone in the stands knew he was devasted by something that was a complete accident. Moments like this that make me love sport
As someone who has swam for 10 years competitively, it's really easy to anticipate the starter and to accidentally false start. This starter took a very long pause after saying "take your mark," which is why he fell in. I feel so bad for him it wasn't even his fault.
@@yoongjiajia4636 Yeah I've started swimming competitively 8 months ago and I fear this so much. I usually end up just going a second late which is just as bad as a second early.
I don't get it. Isn't the false start a foul, by the rule, for reasons? Made a mistake and it is a foul, but blaming someone else for it? I don't know. I am pretty sure that guy was only grateful to get a second chance and blamed no one but himself.
I can relate. I used to be in a swimming team (trying to find one again rn), and I remember losing balance and falling off during training. Luckily it never happened during a competition, but I can just feel the tension while they're waiting for the signal.
abcd abcd but it was his fault? He fell, and personally I think he should’ve been DQed. Besides, refs take longer to call start so that if needed, they can tell them all to stand up.
Moose the reason they let him back in is because the only sounds following take your mark should be the buzzer, and he mistook the voice for the buzzer. It wasn’t his fault lmao you sad sap, have some soup to warm your cold heart

This almost made me cry, I can’t imagine how he felt after falling like that. He probably thought that all the effort he put into training was wasted. I remember when this happened to me when I was training, I wasn’t competing or anything but I felt so horrible about it. I appreciate the judges giving him a second chance!
It must be painful 😖
@Boxing Fan I can assure you the other swimmers are most likely happy for that guy getting a second chance. They, of all people, should know how painful it would be to lose such an opportunity because of a small mistake. Why shouldn’t they deserve a second chance? That swimmer is a human being, and just like any of us he can slip up and lose his balance. It could happen to anyone really, if the other swimmers looked even just slightly upset about the situation it’s probably because they felt empathy for that guy
but he got last... wudda been better no to have raced adn thought u cud win lol
@@sebastionfranklin907 getting last place in the OLYMPICS is still a huge accomplishment. It’s a one in a lifetime experience and I’m sure just being able to be part of that made not only that guy’s day, but his whole life!
It was like he passed out for a split second! He just fell forward, there was no reaction from him til he was already falling
Jessica its really hard to stop yourself from going after you false start. the buzzer happens at the same time after they say take your mark every time. so you start to go when you think its gonna go but the official didn't buzz like they usually do
He didn't want to react and kick off before the buzzer, but it didn't come. I can only think that the command to step down came just before he finally went, and that's why they reinstated. But very lucky.
I've done the same thing before
Athletes may keep a temper but water might have brought out tears
Imagine all your years of hardwork crumbled in just a split second.
I was thinking the same. Worked 4 yrs sleepless nights and sore muscles all for that
Then it’s not worth it…
*For the non-swimmers in the comments*: when you are on the blocks before a race with your feet on the wedge and your arms below you, once you start going forward there is no stopping that momentum untill you hit the water. The way swimmers position their bodies on the blocks is so that they are just barely before the threshhold where they would fall forward, this allows them to pass that threshold faster when the officials start the heat so they can a quicker start.
What likely happened was when they said "stand please", he heard the sound at the beginning of the sentence and started forward just the tiniest bit, and although he realized it wasn't the buzzer and didn't keep going pushing forward, it was too late and he was already on his way to the water. This happens all the time at my state meets, in fact moreso than local meets because of people's nerves.
As for why officials say "stand please", there are a variety of reasons. Some of the more frequent ones are technical errors, a swimmer does not look positioned correctly at the blocks, one swimmer is behind the rest when it comes to getting into position, people start moving forward (such as in this case), etc. Sometimes they will do it just to test the swimmers and make sure they are not anticipating the buzzer, although this would be more rare at an olympic level meet.
Very well explained. Tx
Don't ignore the comment for being long! Quite well explained!
Crikey!
Thank you for explain it. I did not understand what happen before read this comment.

That was an accidental false start. He didn't mean to dive in the water like that.
Yup, he was trying to anticipate the gun, and it didnt go off when he expected it to. Thus resulting in him having to 'fall' in.

Right nagato
I love reaction of the people
Humanity is still alive
The judges didn't penalize him because it was clear that the swimmer wasn't intentionally trying to cheat. The replay shows he lost his balance. Most swimmers are not so lucky. Even if its a mistake but it kinda looks intentional , they get sent off.
I think he rushed it. His mistake was that he jumped after the guy on the mic said "take your mark".. he mumbled something after and he probably thought he said "go" but by then his center of gravity was so over the point of no return.
I am very sure that he didnt get a second chance because the reffs felt pity for him, but because there was something wrong with the starting signal. I was a professional swimmer for many years and probably heard many thousands of starting signals. And this one was definitly weird...
For sure, the rules are the rules. It sounds like the voice said “take your mark” and then “stay in place” but I may be hearing that wrong. I wonder if they tried to sound the start signal and it didn’t work. It’s only fair to let him back if the signal isn’t working as expected.
@@laughernine4320 I think so too. The guy saying "take your marks" is not directly responsible for the electrical starting signal, I think. I definitely know that sometimes something goes wrong with the technical stuff. There are even moments when the starting signal comes, but it is too early or too late. The few times I saw this, the race was repeated.
I read somewhere that he was confused with some sound in the public seating area but I do not know the accuracy of it. I am happy they let him back tho
NCAA rules dont count it as a false start if you react to the Stand command
@@epiccabbage6530 he did not react to the stand signal. In fact the stand signal was given because they saw him flinch, which is a false start.
I'm in tears every time I watch this (I was watching him live on the computer)
Me too
I thought you replied to yourself
Then you have no problems.
That was so kind of them to give him a second chance! He looked so sad!😔
Yes, let's change the rules.
Am so glad they give him another chance.
I don’t think he made a false start tho, he just lost his balance and fell into the water.
If i remember correctly, they let him redo this because there were flashes from cameras in the crowd which could have caused him to jump early.
Losing your balance is still a false start
Thats still a false start
julia_recovery I know but he didn’t meant to like it was an accident you know
He heard them say "stand please" which he thought was the buzzer. All swimmers are waiting for the buzzer and whenever they hear a noise they react, and when you in the driving diving position you are only a few millimeters away from falling in, and once you leant forwards a little you have to fully commit
Second chances is the best part in any form of life- because this will determine the action who gives it and the other person who will perform it better than what it's already been performed.
Totally agree! If civilisation is built on any thing it is built on tolerance. The worst phrase from the 20th century is 'zero tolerance'.

All that I did was for all of them but myself. But I will thank her the next time I will see her. I also said, the next time that she want to get back with me "whatever it is" I want her to come correct or else, she will be cut off. Because, as much as I want her.. I don't want it. Because it's not right.
He definitely tipped over, and his swim instincts kicked in so he dived

I’m a swimmer. I can relate. This broke my heart
Oh my god that poor thing I feel his tears that must be so horrible I can’t even imagine
The rules are stupid, they should allow 1 false start instead of an automatic disqualification.
They should allow one false start in the whole event
It's to keep you from predicting the horn; you're supposed to dive upon hearing it, not dive because you think you might hear it.
That being said, the Spanish swimmer deserved a second chance. He jumped off the block because he thought the person speaking through the horn was the buzzer. And because the buzzer should be the only thing following "take your mark," he shouldn't have been disqualified for reacting to the announcer's voice again.
Problem is you cant immediately stop all the swimmers if everyone is already in the water and one has a false start. In this case, the very probable reason they readmitted him was because no one had jumped in yet.
Brb09 they stopped themselves. None is gonna jump into water when someone had false start

every athlete deserve a second chance when he/she makes a false start. Olympic committee needs to review this issue. In Tokyo Olympics 3 sprinters were disqualified due to false start and one sprinter disqualified today due to false start. They should be given second chance.
In the 100m and 200m I think the rule does make a bit of sense since your false start also hurts the other athletes since they have to expend energy and concentration. But in longer events and especially in cases like this where he basically just lost his balance and the gun never even fired, they should have compassion for the massive effort and sacrifices these guys have made every single day to be there

@@kwebster62 That is true. However, come to think of it, there was an announcement going on, while he was prematurely jumping into the pool. I did not unverstand it.

"Duran Navia finished eighth in his heat with a time of 3:53.40, over four seconds slower than the 3:48.96 he swam to earn a spot in the Summer Games. He would’ve needed to finish in a time better than 3:45.43 to swim in the final." 3:48.96 is competitive. It would have placed him in 8th place at the US 2016 Olympic Trials.
