Hurdler Infinite Tucker dives over finishing line to win race

- A Texas A&M hurdler took first in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2019 SEC Track & Field Championships by leaping across the finish line and landing on his face. Infinite Tucker, a junior from Long Island, became a viral sensation as video of Saturday's remarkable finish made its way around social media. Tucker, who finished second in the same race in 2017, held the lead after the final hurdle, but lost his advantage to teammate Robert Grant a few steps later. As the two approached the finish line, Tucker leapt forward, extending his arms to win the race. 'Look, I closed my eyes over hurdle 10. I opened it, saw my ma at the finish, and I jumped to give her a hug,' Tucker told ESPN after the race. 'That's all it is.' Tucker braced his fall, somewhat, with his hands, but the majority of the impact seemed to be absorbed by his face. Grant knelt over him for a moment after the race before training staff could tend to Tucker, whose time of 49.38 was the best collegiate mark of the year. Aggies coach Pat Henry had previously warned Tucker against jumping through the finish line. 'I've told Tucker you can't get there faster diving, just run through and you'll be fine,' Henry told the school's website . 'He thought he was a swim team guy today.'

Imagine him diving too early and not crossing the finish line
No
That would be an epic fail fr
@@eamparbeng mmhm i guess...
😂😭😭
that would be irrefutable evidence for the devil at work!!!!!!!!!
The other runner is like "I didn't know diving was allowed."
nah....diving is stupid....it stops you from pushing forward as you are in the air....one more step is one more push of forward force instead of slowing down from air resistance.
I think the visual reference is the point of diving, the hand being their basis for crossing the line. @@robjohnson9270
@@robjohnson9270when you run you are pushing up against gravity as well as away from the ground to move forward, when you dive you direct potentially marginally more force forward and less upward hence the falling. so technically there’s more forward movement and no upward movement, like in a free body diagram. and as others said it was likely due to the appearance that he was stumbling
also, a prone body has less air resistance than a standing body when traveling forward. not that it makes any difference in the last fraction of a second in the race
Ask Allyson Felix. She lost Olympic gold in the 400m because the other person dove on her. She looked at her like wth was that?
❤😂exactly
I always love athletes getting interviewed right after they exert themselves. It's like "yeah let me just use the few breaths I have left in my body for your interview" 😆
lmfao fr 😂😂
@nodrgvs ong no cap blud be spittin str8 fax fr fr sheesh skull
😅
I know im late but I just did this last weekend. I had to push a car of mine that doesn't run off the dolly for the mechanic, and then tell him what's wrong with it right afterwards. Closest I've came to relating to this.
he landed on his balls tho
He knew his legs were about to give out so he did a Superman. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
then he should have lost, in fact none of this makes any sense
@@BringDHouseDown Unfortuantely for him... He won. 🤭🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
@@BringDHouseDownthe rules are the rules , he crossed the finish line, wtf are you talking about .
@@HaapaiTeUrioHauwym unfortunately for him?
Think he dove because he knew he was stumbling and gonna go down. Regardless, hellava move!
he literally explains why he jumped
@@TrentSteeze yes but was he lying to hide that he tripped.
It looked that way to me too. Seemed like he overran himself and was falling forward then amazingly dove for the line instead.
Sure was a HELL OF A MOVE...!!! To risk great bodily injury in order to win..!!! He deserved the prize..!!!
Does this count? What are the rules? Do your feet have to cross the finish line first or can it be any part of you? Did this guy just rewrite the rule book??
Legend has it that Infinite yelled "To infinity and beyond" as he leaped
😆🤣😂
I don't like to use "LOL" or "literally" because they're overused and misused, but I literally LOL'ed from that comment.
Lol
😂 nice reference
falling with style.
5yrs later, this is still hilarous!
😂😂😂
Any time I feel the need to cheer myself up, I simply watch this clip. 😀
😂😂
This is so hilarious. Tis is my 1st time seeing this. I can't stop laughing
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
You must be a manic depressive infested weak individual with no confidence surrounded by suicidal crack addicts just plodding through life with a sad outlook on life living in your mum’s basement with no outlook on life just drinking yourself into a stupor every night …..apart from that I bet your a really nice guy and I totally agree with you! 😂😂😂😂
Looks contagious, his teammate also caught it and dove and rolled. This is brilliant championship comedy LOL
Teammate?
I always wondered if a leap would also count 😂😂😂
@@licanisbeastilarica5761 yeah the first and second place were both texas a&m
i thought he tucked & rolled to stop and check on him 🤣

Reading this while I’m playing Mario Kart Wii online!
@@AbsoluteLunatic123Unfair as hell online but you gotta love it more than 8DX
@@Invictyn yeah I do love it more than MK8DX. Must be nostalgia but smart bouncing green shells also ruin it for me.
Been a while I not play Mario kart but yeah remember those heat seeking red shells, they would just blow you over the finish line 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 yes
You know someone lying when they end it with “That’s all it is”😂😂
Hahahaha 😂
@cj5476, that's not true. I NEVER lie. "That's all it is." 😂🤣😅😆😁😄😃😀
fr 😂😂😂😂
Dude had an “out of body” experience, saw his mind standing at the finish line and jumped to give a hug! 😅😂
😂😂😂😂
Lol that's what it sounds like what he said, "my mind."
Saw “my Ma at the finish” “jumped to give her a hug”
@@scott5503 Even funnier lol.
@@scott5503 yea thats what I heard too Oman, genius Im still laughing -2024 AUG
Honestly I've wondered why more sprinters haven't done this on close races. Lol
Because the ground is like sandpaper
Injury, not everyone has practiced falling as much as we used to in martial arts.
Because it's concrete, not grass.
@@H.K.5 its not concrete?
@@H.K.5 not concrete just rubber. Still hurts
he was competing against his teammate too 💀
This is an individual pursuit. you think hes thinking "I don't really care where I finish as long as if one of my team mates win it" smh
He said screw the team mate I want this.
@@TylerDurden-cu6izyeah that's why he made it all about him like a diva
Mamba Mentality
He definitely didn't want to lose whatever bet they had in place😂
He said, "Second place is not an option!" 😂
Hahahahahhaha ❤❤😂😂😂😂
A Lightning McQueen moment
😂😂😂 nah bro…bro would have had to whip it out for that to be true
While everybody is talking about the dive I’m just looking at the sportsmanship by the 2nd place runner going to check in on him to see if he was ok
valid
Well, they're from the same team
came to say this
Aggies👍
They are teammates.
Infinite became a legend. I will never ever forget that. That is how important it is to win. Congratulations!
That was cheating
@@Jimmy20492049 wdym
He became a clown.
I love his wit. He played it off well.
"I gave it a hug." 🤣
I don't think I have ever laughed that hard and for that long ever in my entire life and I'm 58 yrs old. And I can't stop!
Same 😂😂😂
Wait, it wasn't that funny my dude. The comments here are much funnier than the actual fall.
I saw this video 7 days ago, and I have been laughing ever since, I had to go to the doctors to get it sorted, but when I showed the doctor this video he couldn't stop laughing, and now he's off sick
He definitely jumped because he was falling. It preserved the win over simply stumbling and falling, but it would not be a useful strategy to plan in advance.
Exactly this it was amazing improv bc i think most people wouldnt think to jusy launch themselves and he did
@@geordiejones5618 I had a race where we are meant to pick a cone.
It was slippery and the guy had a better start. We were running the same speed so I never catched up to him, was an arm lenght behind him for the entire run.
Anyway, it was on the grass, and at the end, I falled... I never intended to do so... but I launched myself towards the cone, which was on my right, exactly where the guy was running towards, and I got it :D I was all dirty afterwards but yeah.
I didn't want to lose, and never intended to throw myself, but yeah who knows. I won ofc :D Everyone suprised. Especially since I was the quite kid lol there were eliminatinos too ofc like 10 of them but yeah. Fun times - ish except the social aspect lol
Let's be fair... that is epic commitment
His name is "infinite"? What modest parents he has. 😂
His brother is named Limited.
His sister is named "Stones"
Depends....maybe it was keeping the options open. He could become infinite succes but when he was a kid I bet his parents also called him infinite pain in the a$$😂
His siblings are named Immaculate, Galaxy, Pretentious, and Wealthy.
Maximus was taken
The other guy fell on the ground also when he didn’t need to 😂😂😂
He did a raw unprotected flip just after noticed exactly wtf was going on in the next lane at the finish line. Seeing that dive must have blew his mind.
That dude didn't jump to give anyone a hug. He jumped cause he wanted to WIN … like … REALLY bad! lol
Well he said what he said lol
No
So did the other guy
I agree, but aren’t they on the same team?
@@ivi122 yes ... but this is an INDIVIDUAL race. 1st place is not shared ... and that dude wanted it super bad.
Sir, swimming practice starts next week...
too funny lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly!
This guy has a great future in competitive diving
Dude said he opened his eyes and thought he saw his mum and jumped to give her a hug. 😅😂😂
That’s called laying it on the line ❤🙏🏾
Congratulations to him, most people wouldn't have the guts to dive in a full-on sprint !!! 🏃➡️🏃➡️🤸
Like when babies are learning to walk, the first one falls and all the adults laugh, then the second one falls down to imitate him
Love that he used his mind over his body by imagining he was running to someone to give them a hug. The power of love.
He really said : It's not over until I win!!🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been watching these matches and sobbing as the underdog found his strength to prevail. But THIS one was down right funny. 😂
1 word: *Dedication.*
I love the fact that the dude who came second checked him out to make sure he was okay😂.
That's humanity❤
You gotta respect his commitment and willingness to faceplant.
With a name like that, he had no choice but to do everything possible to win, and he did
😂
Second runner was like "uhh, that works? Eeeeeeyah!" 😂
That turf is almost worse than gravel to fall on. Something about that rubber tears you up when you fall on it. My man dove fully knowing that ✊
Only thing he saying while on the ground. “Did I win!!!”
😂😂 bro has to win at all costs
NEYMAR JR looking at this guy dive: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!
😂😂😂
After running 400 meters full of hurdles, that dive was impressive 😂 That’s a painful race!
Look at the playback in 1/25th speed. After he hits the ground, he reaches his hands out and pulls himself further over the line. That's dedication.
Perfect demonstration of the word yeet!
This is the ultimate “I’m just gonna start jogging here to make it look like I didn’t trip over my own feet” recovery.
Every time that there is the Olympics, this keeps showing up to my feed.
Bro thought he was lightening McQueen 😂
Determination at its hilairioust!😂😂😂😂
Nobody tell him he was gonna win anyways. Let him have his moment
Watching the Olympics and now this, you get why the Americans are so great at races. They’re brought up to believe you gotta do absolutely anything to get across that line first. In the sporting context it’s absolutely incredible to watch.
Talk about lay it all on the line😂😂...Send him to Paris 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Where there's a will there's a way. 😂😂😂
If you cant run then fly
The interview was the best part!!! 👏 🤗
That's what you call giving your all for the win!!! We all need to have his same attitude about giving our all for important things in our lives!!!
THAT is how you win a race man. What an effort!
Welp, it is as the song says: “I believe I can soar. I see me running through that open door. I believe I can fly …” 🏃🏿
LOL
We canceled him
@@NyanyiC More like he cancelled himself
Crap gonna be humming this all day now 😭
The other fellow was entirely across the line while the jumpers feet were still not over the line.
that's my confusion too. I was under the impression the time was scored from the feet or chest. otherwise why wouldn't literally every sprinter be diving hands first at the line?
yeah you're absolutely right although i'm not sure what the rules actually are. if it's supposed to be all of the body then he got robbed.
Races are not done by your feet, hence why sprinters will dip their head at the line.
It’s based on when your chest/torso crosses. So if you pause between 0:40 - 0:41 you can see the guy in lane 4’s chest crossed first before the guy in lane 5.
Most sprinters do lean forwards at the end of the race! But you have to be careful about the timing of it/how much you lean since it could slow you down!
It’s usually not ideal to fully dive since that’s time spent not being propelled by your legs, you actually start decelerating in a dive. And also even besides that, you can get hurt, tracks really aren’t made for that kind of thing. Especially if you’re a professional, it’s not worth the risk.
It ended up working out for this guy though!
@@hyperfirefly5879 Makes sense! I feel like most likely as some other commenters were saying, he maybe just stumbled at the end and went into a dive?
i think he thought he was Superman and wanted to fly over the finish, lol
This is extreme dedication man, congrats to him
That right there is the will to win.
An interesting problem for a physics class: the instant he took his last stride, his body actually began slowing down- but by stretching forward, he was going faster, in a sense. Not question that he won, but I suspect he would have won anyway if he'd continued striding. Same question about a baseball player sliding head-first into first base...
Ah, but did his center of mass speed up, or was it just that going horizontal added length?
😂😂😂😂Its the slide after the fall that took me out 😂😂😂
Oh, is that what it was?
I thought he was showing us his "Raiden from Mortal Kombat" impression.
He really loved his mom😊🤣thats all it is.
People can say what they want to, but unless you've ever been an athlete that spends your entire week dedicated to your sport, you won't understand what it's like to be "THAT CLOSE" to the finish line and willing to do ANYTHING to be the winner...
Hats off to this man, what he shows here is absolute dedication and devotion to the sport he loves most... Nice Finish!
NO ONE can say, he didn't give IT ALL out there on the track!
Cheater and ridiculous hush up
There was obviously something else going on behind the scenes here - Have you ever seen anyone ever do this before?🧢
Talk about I'm going to win no matter what it takes by any means necessary. What a competitor. That's what I'm talking about man. Gave it his all when I say he gave it his all
I wonder if the second guy did the flip just to join in with drama.
I’ve got no problem with it. The man wanted to win.
When he graduated and interviewed for jobs, he had a great answer the question "How committed are you to your goals?"
Just like a Black Friday shopper trying to get the last Play Station!
it's the other dude diving for me 😂😂😂 he did it right after crossing the finish line
Runner's brain:
Should I keep running and preserve my health and lose or should I just throw myself over the line and risk to break several bones and win?
Option 2 sounds better
He still would’ve won tho...
You don't know. Did his legs ran out then? You don't know.
I did this too, and I wouldn't have won if I wouldn't have jump slide to get the thingy on the floor in yard in the sport I was doing.
@@aurelianspodarec2629 shut up
@@kI-cq5xq lol kid xD
He definitely would of won either way
Would of? Would of what? Speak English.
Mob boss: “Listen here sonny boy, here is a cool 20g. You’re gonna take a dive, got it.”
He adapted and overcame. respect.
That launch and subsequent takeoff reminded me of those old-school cartoons when the characters could transform into a rocket 🚀 or a speedboat 🚤. Hey, come to think of it, he could actually be one of the Transformers. Wassup, Bumblebee🐝?!
Still would have won haha
Nope, because he was going to fall. And that's why he dives
He won the diving competition too!😂😂😂
He run so fast, he lost his mind and thought he was swimming and dived 😂😂
If whatever sanctioning body this is under has it so the time is scored at the hands, that would be incredibly bizarre and dumb because now every sprinter would just train to dive over the line.
The governing body is called World Athletics, and it’s not based off the hands. It is (and has been for many years) based when the shoulders/torso crosses.
@@Elliottklassen While running. Not diving.
No pain no glory ill give it all for this moment teeth screaming noooooo as he dives in for the kill lol what a boss
Proof that Superman is black
Guy thought he was at the pool.
I don't know what's funnier: that he dives over the finish line to win first, that the other idiot fell at the same time, or that he landed flat on the track like a dead noodle. hahaha
Idiot for falling?That's tough
Someone has clearly never been a serious running competitor. Falling over the line could easily be a sign of your legs giving out when you try to stop because they have nothing left, it could be a delayed reaction to the response of someone else’s lean (or dive in this case) where you give a desperation attempt a little too late because you’re tired as hell, or honestly any number of things. An idiot? Nope. That would be you.
@@christophercarle111 Exactly. I'm not a serious runner but I've experiecned this and I did the same as that guy, except it wasn't sprinting but well, it was sprnting but it was to get a thingy off the floor and I was also behind, and on the left, while the other guy was aligned with the thingy so I just jumped his way and won by getting that thingy off the floor first. Was very interesting.
I'm not sure how I feel about this because if you want to you could take the position of,
"Well he's cheated because you should be running over the finish line and NOT diving like Superman across it."
I'm guessing there's nothing in the rules to say you aren't allowed to do that though because the result still stood did it not?
I think he did that because you can see that he was starting to fall a little so he just dived.
Talk about the determination to win😂😂If determination was a person this would be him
He was gunna lose if he didnt see mama at end of that line 😂 great tinnish he wanted that and put his body on the line haha respect it
Well, you gotta want it!
Him: I can't lose to the white boy, I can't lose to the white boy!
Dives!
🤣🤣🤣
That teammate rivalry is real 😂
I love how you say he saw his mama
So, he won?
Yes because shoulders count.
@@Meven2001 no it's the chest that counts
@@xend_er6975 Exactly, the chest. I don't know why i said shoulders lol
He had that race. That was totally unneccesary
Bro thinks he's in a Super Mario 64 race 💀💀
I'm glad that counted. And what a hug to your mom.
This guy was actually in front when he dived. Probably would have won anyway. High risk move to dive.
He was about to fall
They shouldve booed him for this, dirty move
How is that dirty 😐
@@laylow3229 take a guess
Not really dirty if u look closely he starts to stumble. He was in the lead anyway
this remind me when lighting mcqueen stick out his tongue to tie with chick hicks and king in the first race lol
" I know it's a cowardly way to win, but they told me it was legal, so I did it."
How is it a cowardly way lol called going all out wtf you talking about
