Nikki Hiltz (1:59:04) comes from WAY BACK to edge LSU's Michaela Rose (1:59.08, #2 NCAA history). DQ or not? (Video)

You are correct Fast Tuohy - lease is just an idiot. She didn't move - show me your measurement of it. Oh that was 2 inches (5cm for the metric morons) for sure saw that. She stayed in her lane and that is ALL that matters. Anything else is just your deluded "interpretation". The lane isn't divided into parts as you get closer to the finish line. If she veers into lane 2, that is a different matter. Hiltz took a chance and got away with it - same with Hodgkinson versus Mu, and frankly, fair play for so doing. Personally I would have given Hiltz an elbow and sent her flying, and I would not have been dq'd as I was just defending my space - MY lane. Next you will say that Rose should have moved out of Hiltz's way since she surely must have called out "track".

absolutely. As soon as hiltz wakes up feeling like a guy on a race day

I saw the pass as an extremely savvy move by a veteran racer. Hiltz slipped by in the narrowest of spaces on inside at the exact and last possible moment. They did not impede Rose and had to dive onto the infield after crossing the finish line to keep their balance and avoid a trip or collision. I've never seen a finish quite like it.

I don’t think you realize how many companies honor and celebrate the use of desired pronouns. Hiltz will be far closer to the mainstream than are the posters of Letsrun.

Rose swings out with 50 meters to go which is a common thing to do to block, Hiltz picks her line to the inside. Rose drifts inside towards the finish and Hiltz does not change direction which I think she should have but I think she expected Rose to keep drifting out.

They go to the line and Hiltz did squeeze by with no contact prior to the finish line and throws herself to the infield after. It looked sloppy but Hiltz did not impede Rose or create a danger to her after the finish line. Not a DQ.

If Rose kept drifting to the inside and there was contact the call would be different. Hiltz was lucky and the officials did a nice job making the right call.

Upvoted in recognition of the sad reality of the pernicious undermining and destruction of societal integrity. The corporate-governmental machine has spoken, and they support "them".

No, 2 runners don’t fit into one lane when one is closer to dead nuts center than the outside white line of lane one. Hiltz is wrong and should’ve been DQ’d.

Not to beat this to death but if Nikki is not a woman why is she running in a women's race?

Does she consider herself a non-binary female or just non-binary? For the races that have started offering a non-binary division - some with prize money - should that not be separated into male and female non-binary divisions? Otherwise it is not fair as the non-binary females will be at a disadvantage. Of course at that point the whole idea is getting really crazy.

I never said two runners fit in a lane so maybe you intended this for someone else. I didn't even say there wasn't contact. All I said was that it was a good no-call. Your opinion may differ and that's fine.

Nikki Hiltz lacks the racing smarts of the above mentioned runner (Beamish) who has a knack for timing his kick: Hiltz thought that Rose would move to the 2nd lane, she did not. She doesn't have this level of intelligence/intuition/racing smarts that runners like Beamish have. She looks like such a dumba@@/poor sport shoving a black runner out of the way so she can win (*and I say this as a Caucasian). If I was an Oiselle fan, I would stop buying it just b/c of the immaturity of their "pro" (who acts like a 9-year-old).

Thankfully Nikki didn’t get injured with that dive. Risky move.

You’re making it personal but you’re just soft. Let’s not DQ every time someone touches another runner in a RACE.

Get bent. This is proper grammar and always was whether Hiltz is NB or not.

Actually Nikki has complained about race announcers using she/her to describe her so it may have been proper grammar but it was not used in race announcing.

Oh for the Love of God, what is the big deal? Complaining about race announcers who are clueless and use she/her while she's in a damn women's race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've gone full idiotic at this point.

Freeze it at 1:42. Rose is clearly in the center of the first lane and Hiltz is not next to her nor is she cutting her off.
