After a protest, Texas’ Yusuf Bizimana won the men’s 800m in 1:46.02 at the 2023 NCAA indoor track and field championships. Mississippi State’s Navasky Anderson originally won the race in 1:45.90 but was disqualified after a protest for flagrantly impeding as they crossed the finish line. Watch the full race here.
Men's 800m – 2023 NCAA indoor track and field championships
1:45.90 should still count as the Jamaican national record. He still ran the time he ran, and the person he cut off isn't Jamaican.
The Texas runner had to cut stride to avoid hitting him and Texas would have won. DQ was correct call.
I love track and ran the 800 for a long time. Big fan of track, but DQ’ing him was such a p*ssy move. It will keep this sport un-watched for years to come
В Красной майке нарушил правила! Гад такой, хотел обогнать того, в Чëрной майке! Убивать за такое надо! Сразу! На месте!
Ah I love when justice is served. Good riddance. 100% had to be DQ’d
He was going to get passed, it's not even close, but I mean, they could have just given him 2nd lol, the dq makes no sense
Good tactics. Sorry. As long as he didn’t touch him it should be good. He who leads the race controls it.
Mashallah😍
He was disqualified for anyone wondering. That’s what you getting for trying to cheat your way to a victory. 0 honor
trash rule. If you lose, you lose.
I ran D1 and won 14 titles and I'm telling you that due is DQ'd!!!!!!!
No indoors isn't the test. The test will be outdoors
Dirty dirty. Moved over a whole lane and a half then used his arm. The hypoxia was eating his brain I guess. 😅
That kid from Texas waited patiently and made an excellent run. Good win.
This move is legit
Weak from Navasky
clear dq
should have just took the 8 pts
Perfect thumbnail on the video, shows how Bizimana was pissed off at Anderson for that BS finish.
This is legal in roller derby, so why should track have "special" overly protective rules?
good that he was disqualified
They were right to call him on it. But talitha Diggs did the same thing in the finals for 400. Keep it consistent or dont call it.
Oh well, he'll represent Jamaica anyway in the Olympics.
Navasky stepped on the gas too soon . he probably was trying to get the record instead of focusing on the win. He will be the one to beat in the outdoor season
Intentional or not, Anderson screwed-up. The dq is accurate. The saddest thing to me is that Anderson had no need to move from Lane 1. He would have won if he kept his head, and stayed in his lane.
I'm amazed at his ability to not let fatigue affect his judgement of the lanes until he was being caught near the end. Absolute beast. I'd never be able to see straight under those conditions.
Good, if he had only gone into lane 2 that’s be one thing, but into lane 3/4 in the span of 20 meters is obviously impressment. There’s a difference between defending your position by slow and gradual push outwards and blatantly cutting someone off. Good DQ, maybe he’ll have learned his lessons
Absolutely a DQ. That's an Easy Button decision.
What a douchebag move to block the Texas runner. Disqualify that loser.
Hey Clayton, you see this? 1:45 and change, running from the front.
He clearly impeded the guy about to pass him. He tainted the guy's victory.
NCAA is becoming like world league football (soccer). Diving at the end like the opponent athletes have fouled you.
Was he DQ? Cuz he deserves it.
DIRTY MOVE, and you all know it, unless you are blind, so don't play stupid.
Dumbass refs lol
World record is 1.40.91
Good on the officials for actually DQing Anderson. 100% deserved.
Would have been nice to see the official results after the DQ. And what happened to Will Sumner? DNF?
It's only because he's black that the white judges disqualified him,,,, LMFAO
If he had continued in lane he was in, he would’ve won, he panicked and ran wide to block Yusuf🤷🏻♂️
Very deliberate and he didn’t even HAVE to do it… literally would’ve won and now he’s DQ’d!🤷🏾♂️
I saw Justin Robinson do the same thing to Jonathan Jones last year and he didn't get disqualified, but he only moved over 1 lane just before the finish line.
Going to be real knit picky here but it seems to me that the DQ was due to the abrupt run out to lane 3 in the home stretch. Based on the rule cited though, that does not seem to be the case. The rule cited was 7.5-3a which implies that this was not due to the lane drift as 7.5-3b or maybe even 7.5-3c(can't remember which off the top of my head) more explicitly denotes. Based on the cited rule, seems that the implication was the sort of flailing towards the finish was what ultimately DQ'd him. I just find that very strange that this is the cited rule on the results.
So why was he disqualified but Paul Chelimo was able to win USA's and get an olympic medal by using the same strategy?🤨
That was completely clean. They didn’t touch and it’s done all the time, smart racing.
