2 technical issues for the 2 men’s 4x100m freestyle relay teams from Singapore and Malaysia to be disqualified due to violations:
1. The starting technique of the relay race is a special starting technique, which is very different from the one-way starting technique. This technique requires team members to practice together to ensure a quick but legal transition between the swimmer in the water and the athlete standing on the platform. If an athlete standing on the podium leaves the platform with the athlete’s hand swimming in the water and not touching the lake wall (or electronic touch screen), the team will be disqualified.
2. Every time the athlete starts, the electronic clock will record the reaction time from the swimmer’s hand touching the electronic touch screen to the athlete standing above leaving the platform. If the number is positive then it is a valid start, if the number is negative then it is an illegal start. This violation parameter is very objective (recorded by an electronic clock) and not subjective to the naked eye of the referee.
Another noteworthy information: The 2 referees who ruled against Singapore and Malaysia were Singaporeans and Malaysians!
