      • It's fair
      • The goal is to get across the line. Diving is just a bigger step. Totally fair in my mind.

      • If Felix dove she still would have lost.

        The effort of diving slows your stride but it extends your torso.
        So it's break even.

        Yes I understand that but then why doesn't everyone dive?

        I thought that was illegal

        The same reason why MLB players don't dive into 1st; they run through it. It's faster. Also, I'm sure diving onto the track probably HURTS.

      • Upon further review Felix lost because the other tuner stretched out her arms at the line.

        How is that legal?!

        Chip is on the torso. Arms don't matter.

        I agree, if you dont get a foot down after the finish line you should be measured at your hips not your furthest forward shoulder

      • Felix should learn to dive. In a sprint, a dive across the line offers over a tenth second advantage.

      • you are a fvcking moron.

        it is the front of the torso (whether that be the chest or the shoulder if someone leans or dives like this) that determines placing. arms dont matter
