The girl claiming it was unintentional is a damn liar IMO. Just pumping my arms indeed.

What, you don't lift your arm completely over your head and then accelerate it down to your right when you run?

 

[BonzoFury]

I think you missed the important part. She has feelings too.

 

[Sharky1203]

And she still came in second.

 

[Huey Grey]

Looked like she was simply trying to draft off the other girl and the other girl drove the back of her head into the drafters baton. Girl who was "hit" probably shouldn't have done that.

 

[millah_22]

Is that not allowed anymore?

Meh, holler at me when it happens in baseball. Everyone gets brained in track.

Wussies.

 

[shiphappens]

I assume LSU offered her a track scholarship on the spot.

 

[jaxhawk06]

Imagine how much more exciting this would be if it was legal

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

But she half-heartedly slightly extended her left arm and hand in the universal "you good?" gesture after the other runner collapsed into a concussed fetal position off the track. So it's all okay now.

I agree Huey, she should've never thrown her head into that girls baton like that. The gal holding the baton was only holding the baton high and swinging it forward. The gal that got hit should've know that and not placed her head in the path of it.

[jaxhawk06]

You should be allowed 1 good whack for every relay race.

 

[EagleHawk]

It's hard enough for the US Men to hang on to the baton without also trying to smack someone.

Butthole!!

She was asking for it, right?

Exactly. 😂 😂 😂

 

[Jimmy McGill]

She needs to be convicted. No ands, ifs, or buts about it.

I like how the pitcher held the ball up after the collision to show he still had it! Then goes after Lenny

Lenny laid down the bunt.

I just can’t get over the skill to lay that bunt so perfectly up the line he could build a head of steam and bring the pitcher a step off the base path.

Chef’s kiss.

B!tch had it comin'. That'll teach her not to run faster.....or have a head.

Boom! Roasted.

Who's next to feel Ol' Doodle's insult-comic wrath?

 

[jonesy5960]

And she still came in second.

Yeah. She hit the wrong girl.

 

[jonesy5960]

She was asking for it, right?

Well she WAS in front of her so.... yeah. Absolutely.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Before even watching I said I was going to try to watch from the other girl's perspective. I feel like she might have been able to sell me if she didn't physically pause her arm movement and look at her before whacking.

 

[Sharky1203]

Yeah. She hit the wrong girl.

She was so far behind the leader, it might've been too obvious throwing the baton at the leaders head.🤣

Maybe she should upped her game and start baton beating everyone

 

[Sharky1203]

Now we're talking. Make track a combat sport. 🤣 Roller Derby style.

Endorsement from baton manufacturers soon to follow…?

Good thing we don't have javelin much more

Can't imagine what it would be like to be in the stands and see that happen to your kid.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

NAACP is hurting their legitimacy by saying law enforcement doesn't need to get involved.

The charges are absolutely warranted.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Her explanation may have some merit after all.

Here's video of her track coach demonstrating running technique.
