Some of the others beat me to the response.
Note that there are 2 requirements for you to judge OBS occurred - and one of them is that the runner must be hindered or impeded. A runner who does not slow down or change course can't have been obstructed because the runner was not hindered or impeded. That's the part you were missing and apparently the part you did not understand.
