The gap was there for Keely around the bend but once she ran into it, was squeezed. In hindsight, perhaps she would have been better going around the outside with 150 to go.
Mu does the difficult repeat of a World championship following the Olympic gold under a ton of pressure and of course the boys of letsrun want her DQ and can only criticize her.
Mu gave up lane 1, no doubt. Hodgkinson capitalized on it. Mu started drifting in a bit, but then avoided cutting her off and was able to run fast in that last 50 meters.
You guys are nuts for saying she should be DQ'd. Relax.
Keely was not cut off. It was close, but the two were running shoulder and shoulder at the end. There was definitely enough room to pass.
Yes people are fooled by the camera angle and what they want to think happened. See the head-on shot where both are flat out and Keely can’t pick it up.
