Looked like she was waltzing in for the win. Then Chebet was closing like a freight train.
Gidey goes down and then her private coach runs out there and picks her up?
Never seen anything like that.
Has to be DQ right?

Just saw Gidey collapse just before the finish line. She then received help to get up, then crossed the line in 4th. Should she be disqualified? I say yes.

Yes, it should be a DQ. They mentioned it when the guy in the U20 race collapsed at the finish.

Yeah, that was crazy. It was an instantaneous DROP.

Yes it’s a DQ, but shouldn’t everyone’s only concern right now be if she’s ok? Coming in 4th or a DQ is pretty meaningless. Hot and humid day. I really hope she’s ok.

She was upright and walking after crossing the finish line, so I think she's okay(?)

Yes, if those who held were Ethiopian officials. Unfortunately, she stated her run home one big hill too soon

She wasn't leading when she collapsed. Chebet had already gotten past her.

Gidey tripped on the last "mogul" of the run. I'm disagreeing for having those humps and those tires at the very end of the race just seems a little silly to me......

The DQ wasn't her fault. Ethiopian team should know better. They not only aided her but also ran onto the course during the race.

Good call. It was stupid. And as far as the tyres go, the course shouldn't split up a group like that. Have couple of humps not the whole finish straight

The California HS coaches know the rules, but not the Ethiopian national team🤦🏻♂️

Correct. Gidey made her run one big hill too early
