Too funny - Kilian Jornet was busy giving people high 5's and Mamu ran past him at the line - he lost prize money and point

Oh what a load of crap. You wouldn't try to run down a guy who'd only just passed you five minutes earlier and you'd been chasing, just because it was close to the finish line? Then you're a loser racer.

I suppose Peres Jepchirchir shoud have given up in Boston this year once Ababel Yeshaneh passed her on Boylston?

Add me to the crowd of posters saying that it is a race and there is no unspoken rule about not passing someone in a race. That’s silly. Now Killian I’m sure will be fine.

I don't think Kilian cares about the money, or in the end really if he finished 4th or 5th, but he worked hard to pass Mamu late in the race and clearly wanted to finish in front of him. Kilian doesn't win all the races he does because he's not competitive, he wants to win. In this race, I think his legs were still shot from his record setting win at Hardrock, so an impressive finish considering.

Mamu is getting a lot of hate on Kilian's facebook etc., but that's unfair. Sierre Zinal is a relatively short mountain race and people racing to the line is not unusual or wrong. Kilian made a little mistake at the end, and he knew it. Which is why it was amusing not something to get upset about. He really should have shoulder checked one more time before easing off.

Ok this is where I see it completely different.

1) yes I would run for the win.

2) also, run for the win.

but I think you le last point, where you have appreciation is at minimum what happened to Kilian or if not worse. They took a wrong turn because they weren’t paying attention or fatigued, which is part of racing. Kilian didn’t make a wrong turn or suffer to the demands of the race in making his mistake.

If your fans are giving grief to a guy for racing to the line in a race then you should check them.

A loser racer? I would consider myself a loser racer if I passed a runner who had clearly beaten me, had no chance of catching if he hadn’t stopped to have a chat a couple of meters before the line.

GTFOH - It’s a race. Run through the line like a grown up.

See that African runner fall on his face :36 into the video? That's why I ain't running mountain races like this. End of the race I'd be shuffling my feet and do exactly what this poor guy did. Was he in contention for that 4th place spot?

Perhaps for

falsifying his Everest non-summit "summits" in 2017??

People complaining about Katir's roughness in the pack, maybe it's a Spaniard thing: you see Kilian cut-off that runner on the trail!! Nasty.. caused the fall.
