Rules are rules
The guy is fine why did they give her an old man as a guide, and why did they disqualify her

Why yall blaming the dude? He was probably having heart attack.
It's still too much, running quick? Not a 60 year old like this would make it like he.
Bro your seriously gonna put the blame on the old man grow up
This isn't right
I saw nothing worth disqualification, officials had something against the blind person I am willing to bet
Why would they give her an old guide??
2 and 3 are just peak
Yo this is fucked up!!! Hell no!!! We won't let this go!!!! Officals should be fired!!!!!
Canβt even blame him look at his age.
not even his fault
Spanish visually impaired runner Elena Congost lost her bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympics on the final day of competition after being disqualified in the T12 marathon. How She Lost the Race: With only about \(10\) yards (around 10 meters) left in the 26.2-mile marathon, Congost's guide-runner, Mia Carol Bruguera, suffered severe leg cramps and stumbled. The Rule Violation: In a "human" reflex to stop her guide from falling face-first to the ground, Congost let go of the connecting tetherβa short rope linking themβto steady him. The Rule: According to World Para Athletic regulations, T12 runners and their guides must remain tethered together until they have both crossed the vertical plane of the finish line. The Result: Although they quickly grabbed the rope again and finished thirdβmore than three minutes ahead of the fourth-place runnerβthe split-second release of the tether led to immediate disqualification. This shows that it's no one's fault and that Elena Congost sacrificed her victory for something way more "Valuable" for her, another human peer. This shows how kind people sacrifice everything to help others
I feel like he is her dad
