You can't just "run right over" someone who's going roughly the same speed as you, tough guy
Yeah you can. I would contact her wherever it happened as a result of her action, then trample her as she went down.
That was ridiculous. You guys think that’s fair? The race is 10,000m, not 9,980m and then cut people off. It’s first to 10,000m, not first to 9,980m or whatever.
It is unsportsmanlike and totally dishonorable. She should be ashamed, but I know some people lack the capacity to feel shame. At a minimum she should be DQ’d.
What about an appeal? That was flagrant.
Here's another way to look at it. The runners have 10,000m to cover which is a hell of a long distance and time to deploy tactics of their choice. If she didn't throw any elbows or punches or run out of the track to take a short cut, a DQ aint happening. She timed her kick and deployed her tactics the best. The others can blame themselves if they think they deserved gold.
True. I knew she wouldn't be a factor after watching her as nationals. Might be her health or training just wasn't there this year. You never know with women's physiology.
