what the hell did he do? that's pretty crazy.
He appears to have pushed Qu Yunxia to the ground as she was dropping off the back of the pack. That's gotta smart, hitting that pavement.
More so he was forcing her to get back with the pack, and the resulting action caused her to fall to the pavement.
This is one of the comments posted w/video:
"That's Ma Junren. The runners were forced to run a marathon-a-day schedule at mountainous altitude, no excuses. He would always follow behind on a bike making sure no one lagged behind. That's Qu Yunxia (1500m WR holder) you see getting pushed to the ground in exhaustion. It's no surprise most of the runners burnt themselves out within 2-3 years with such unprecedented training. 180 miles a week at mountainous altitude is truly insane."
I'd seen this video before on letsrun. My impression (from just watching it) was that he was trying to *make* her keep up with the group, and she just couldn't do it.
