The false start happened again when Miguel fall into the water in the middle of the cue that he thought it is already the start. When he realized that it is not yet starting he exited the deck but I can see it on his face on how he looks devastated, seems that he is crying. I was a bit emotional for him too when I saw his feelings because I can see it on his face on how he works hard for this competition, even though I don't really know him at all. I am still hoping during that time for the reconsideration. But he was granted a second chance because it is obviously just an accident and didn't mean to do it. I became glad too and feeling relieve, though I can't still stop the feeling of having sympathy for that guy it was like if he was just my friend I want to hug him just to say I trust that he can do all his best for the competition or to say good luck. This kind of incident reminds me of what happened to the swimmer of China which was Sun Yang but he was also reconsider. I was able to watch that live as well when that false start happened but on the day itself Sun Yang won and he has gold as I remember. Until now I am glad seeing him on this competition and also following him to swim.
