Insane comeback in an indoor 4 x 400 women's relay. First runner fell

Holy crap. Those 2nd and 3rd legs, the other runners looked like they were in

Very impressive. I think the article has it wrong saying that it was a 30 sec

Agreed. It was maybe 30m, but certainly not 30 seconds. Still an insane performance.

Yeah, she fell at 32.8 sec & roughly 250m into her 400m. For them to be behind by 30 sec, she would have had to remain

Impressive that the girl got back up and the 2nd runner got them back in it.

Wow. Michigan's third runner had an incredible stride length.

Very cool, but can someone explain the rule of you depart your lane? When she fell she appears to have left the lane.

I had the same thought. Figured they would be DQ’d based on that. Still amazing

They had already passed the merge point so there weren’t lanes anymore.

What about the inside edge of the track? She went even beyond the first lane. Does that not matter?

It appears she went inside the entire track edge of even the first lane. Does that not matter?

I believe if you fall down and don’t gain an advantage by being off the track, you will not be DQ’d.

After the first lap, they don't have lanes anymore. That's why all the runners

IN 4x400, you only have lane assignments at the start and on exchanges.
