so Tarmoh can choose a run-off, and has a 50-50 shot, or she can choose to concede and have a zero percent shot? that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. she got totally screwed over. felix should have been given the option to concede or have a run-off, even though she probably would have chosen the run-off. the whole situation puts tarmoh and terrible spot mentally, after crushing the excitement she had of making it, whereas felix is confident after the 200m win. no wonder tarmoh chose to concede.
it should be like every other review in sports. if upon video review there is no clear evidence to overturn the original call, it should stay the way it was called, just like football, basketball, etc.
the spot meant way more to tarmoh, who makes wayyyy less money and is a much smaller name than felix. the USATF should be ashamed they forced tarmoh into this situation. i wouldnt run if i was her either, just because of how disappointed i would be with the people in charge. they really let one man decide the fate of tarmoh? just another reason the USATF ruins track in this country.
