Skantars Touch
Definately a 2 second penalty that should have put this pair out of the final and Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott of the UK IN! :-(
Tim & Etienne ran the fastest time of 108.37 in an effort to make up for some rather careless errors in picking up 3 touches. Total score of 114.37.
The Skantars ran far slower at 112.53 which placed them in the final. However, with this touch correctly added, their total would be 114.53 behind the UK pair.
Overlooked penalties or penalties being added where they were not incurred has plagued this spectacular sport throughout my 40 year involvement with it. It really should not happen at such important events so let us keep our fingers crossed that it does NOT happen at London 2012!
Very sad day :-(
