IAAF will not rush to change rule that ousted Bolt
DAEGU, South Korea - The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) will not be rushed into revising the controversial false-start rule that sent Usain Bolt crashing out of the world championships 100 metres, a top official said on Wednesday.
The one-and-you-are-done rule has been in effect since January 2010 and most elite sprinters do not like it.golf clubs cheap
But it was not until the lanky Bolt popped out of his blocks ahead of the starter's gun in Sunday's 100 metres final did the outcry for change spread to the general public.
"There definitely has been feedback," XXIO PRIME IronsIAAF competitions director Paul Hardy said of the mountain of e-mails that have poured into his and other IAAF departments.
"It is big enough that it may be reviewed," he said. "But remember we are always reviewing our rules."
The IAAF Council,Callaway X 22 Irons in extraordinary cases, has the authority to make interim changes to rules.
It meets again on Sunday and while it may discuss the Bolt incident it is unlikely to consider any substantial changes, officials told Reuters.
The group that is normally the starting point for rules changes, Taylormade R9 Ironsthe IAAF Technical Committee, does not meet again until next year.
Officials adopted the one-and-done rule after a decade of discussions in an attempt to speed up the competition but it can also reduce interest in the sport.
