A head injury can be really serious.
It can really open your mind.
And, boy, he was certainly thisclose to not making the semifinals. There are always little tine rules that seem to rear their ugly heads in times like this. Unfortunately cooler (and I daresay more handsome) heads did prevail and the initial disqualification was overruled. He will be able to run for Cape Verde and, possibly, make it to the next round.
Another cool thing is that he is the only person wearing Cape Verde colors to make it to the semifinals in any sport.
