According to the broadcast, you are correct. Per the attached image captured from the broadcast, the on-screen times when Valby crossed the finish line were:
14:51.98
14:52.0 .
The claim on another thread is that the faster time is the clock mistakenly recoding a “finish” time for the almost lapped runner directly ahead of her.
The female announcer is terrible again. Apparently Valby dropped a 4:09 mile in the 5k 🤦🏻♂️
She tries too hard. Just never shuts up and thinks more chatter is better. Then she makes stupid remarks to fill any welcomed silence. And her voice sounds like she drank a case of Red Bull and reporting a major disaster on tv. Just chill!

She sounds like she is overcaffeinated. Yap yap yap, wrong splits and lap times and still yapping when Valby pulls away instead of commenting on the actual race🤦

If it stopped for the runner in front of her, why did it change from 14:51.98 to 14:52 while Valby was crossing the line? Is there a picture of that runner crossing the line and it says 14:51.98?
My guess was just that there's some slight delay/variance between the gun firing, the clock starting, and maybe the actual timer that's being used since it could be different than the clock the audience sees. I don't know if that happens, or how it actually works (or why there would be a difference), but I know there have been times where the on-screen clock is out of sync with the one in the stadium.
It could also be that whatever sensor stops the timer caught her head or arm or foot or something and it was adjusted to be when her torso crossed the line. Although I don't know why that sensor wouldn't have stopped for the athlete in front of her.

Bush, the runner who she almost lapped, is shown to be 14:52.04 at 4600 min the results.
No. That is someone who has made a mockery of college distance running looks like. As I have long noticed, the complete absence of natural fatigue tells the story. Even the announcer noticed it. That is called chemistry, not talent. So you think she could naturally break the outdoor record two days after running the 10000m? LOL. We just watched someone go for broke to get a contract and not care how it appeared at all. And like clockwork the yahoos here buy it. Every time.
....
No that's someone who if they pushed themselves to their limit with ideal conditions and pacers could run sub 14;45 and sub 30'30. 💥
Agreed that they have got to get rid of that female commentator. She clearly does her homework in the sense of getting background information down but she thinks that she has to tell us everything she has ever learned or thinks she knows in every comment. She also thinks that there should never be any second of the broadcast without someone talking, but she is wrong, wrong, wrong about that. You just want her to come up for air and shut up for a second. Dwight Stones at least has the timing part right. You make a comment. You don't turn it into a three minute run-on sentence. And then you let there be a little ambient noise to let us think about what he said and watch the action. The fact that her voice is also really grating makes it unendurable. I have to mute the broadcasts because of her.

NO. The "flash time" that shows up immediately when the winner finishes a race is from the timing system. The clock starts immediately when the gun fires. The camera can sense when someone crosses the line. In fact it takes pictures every time a runner crosses the line automatically. The "flash time" will normally be faster than a true evaluated time because the camera will sense something other than the torso crossing the line first (foot, arm, head, etc.) When the first runner is going to finish the timer lets the timing system know to show the "flash time" as soon as a runner finishes. The timing system displays a time based on when it senses a runner crossing. The finish timer can add an adjustment to the displayed "flash time" to cause it to be closer to what the official finish time will be. This is done by testing the flash time before any races and looking to see how far off it is and then adding hundredths or tenths of a second to it to make it appear closer to what the actual time is going to end up being. The official finish time is made by the finish timer placing a hash line directly on the runners torso in the picture and then having the system record the time. The "flash time" is most definitely NOT the official time, even though it is sometimes correct. Most times the "flash time" is off by a hundredth or two. In this case the "flash time" was activated by Samantha Bush who crossed the finish line with one lap to go directly before Parker who was finishing. If you check Bush's splits you see her penultimate split was officially 12:52.04. So clearly the 12:51.98 "flash time" was made by Bush crossing the finish line.
Her body has changed significantly since high school. Now there is the ability to do that naturally. It takes extreme discipline and patience. She seems to have that. Kudos to her. It goes to show you can be great without peds and/or eating disorders.
And unnaturally. Look I know you guys will grasp at explanations. It is in the board dna. But we just had a college runner toy with an ncaa record two days after winning the 10000m with zero natural fatigue after having a massive leap in her performance this year. It is brazen. All the incentives are there also.
