I think the rule is pretty fair. It seems like they place kids in races based on their qualifying time. So super slow kids get grouped together, which gives them a chance to still win something.

It'd be pretty fricked up if a kid loafed in order to get in a slow group and then take the gold.

If that isn't how it works....then the rule is ridiculous.

That's exactly how it works.

And we always hear of stories like this where there is some great injustice done and everyone is outraged. But then you look into the story more and everything seems much more reasonable.

It's almost always the case with stories like this.
