Yes, there is that. He did go on camera and was surprisingly calm and collected. Both are to blame, but it isn't helpful for a coach (who's gone on camera and took full blame) to confuse the athlete.
I've seen some weird things happen over the years. A famous examples is of a skater that lost count of how many laps he had to go. He started his sprint in the penultimate lap, and the commentators were raving about how much he apparently had left in the tank. They were slightly less enthousiastic when he stopped skating when he had one lap left to go.
It's a freak thing I suppose. **** happens. It's just hard to laugh about it when a dead certain olympic gold medal goes out the window through driver/coach error.
Well done to Lee Seung Hoon of Korea for posting the second time and taking Gold though. None of the others came close to his time.
