Watched an athlete hobble around the entire track clearly broken in a 2.27 400 during Penn relays… everyone clapped and I hated it, should be be happy she limped a 400 or should she have been pulled. She fell at the handoff.

It shows guts and determination to finish something you started. This is a positive attribute. No need to pull her off the track unless it's for her own personal safety. My hat's off to her.
Didn’t see it, but that just sounds like a bunch of woke virtue signaling to me
I am just curious was she the anchor leg runner?
No race is worth significant injury. Priorities
unless it’s the last race of your career!💪

Yes it was the anchor! It was hard to watch (club/open event I think, it was around 515pm or so) and I’m surprised out of all the track fans on this illustrious page that more people did not see it in person or on the internet. And have an opinion.
Double post.
I mean, did you see the PENN Corporate DMR team? Those ladies basically walked, on purpose, the entire thing.

Definitely not the same thing!
Can’t judge without more information?
Lead-off? Anchor?
College? Pro? Masters?
etc
I don't get that mentality. It's a race. It's not like she's never run 400m before and the objective is to just finish. Besides, hobbling around the track is likely the single best way to turn a 2 week injury into a two month one.
What’s more embarrassing is you paid flotrack to watch this meet
