she was knackered - which is one reason why she fell
however, the Spaniard should be DQd
If not Gold, we sure lost Silver because of that bastard Spaniard!
With the way the spanish girl accelerated up on her so quickly, I dont think Burka was going to win that race. She looked like she was fried already and was running to hang on. having said that, spanish girl absolutely should be DQed.

Front running is difficult. I wish she won; however, track is a brutal sport: the one who gives the best effort doesn't always win.
First you advance and now you win for falling? That's something.
Still DQ the spanish broad. Good to see there doping program is alive and well though.
Yeah, Burka was not going to hold on...but maybe she would have gotten a bronze or something. DQ the Spaniard
Spanish lady DQed official!
