I agree it's a harsh rule and it's only recently that it was changed to DSQ after one false start.
Prior to that one false start was permitted and the second false starter was DSQ'ed, even if they didn't cause the first false start.
So you could argue that it's fairer now.

If you don't go until you hear the gun then no one would ever false start.
If you go before the gun then you are trying to cheat. Red card is deserved.

I think they still have the choice of a yellow card judging from what he commentators were saying, but I suppose that is reserved for someone who slips in the blocks of something....
100m semi's on now. Woo getting exciting.
9.82 in a semi this is looking good.
Powell out.
Bolt about to run.
EDIT
Easy. Bolt in the final and slowed down 6 strides from the end for a 9.87

Bolt was just cruising
So was Gatlin earlier. Could be a blinding final. They're running WR shattering times from 10-20 years ago in the bloody semi's. Mental.
Yep looks like we are going to see a race that's for sure I'll bet we will see more action in those few seconds than we saw in the whole of the Monaco and Hungarian Grand Prix put together....
Just 40 mins till the big kahuna
Great Silver for Christina in the 400m. Clear outsider for a medal.

Blake looking good too, Bolt jogged more and was slightly slower, advantage Bolt? Also, Michael Johnson has been awesome for BBC!

Can we make a thread for this? Or should we just do a poll! Who will win the 100m? My vote Bolt!
