Take a look at the video and specifically at the start,
Watch the judge behind the runners and the flag is blowing a significant HEADWIND, even when he puts it down when the race starts.
In my opinion, she ran into a headwind, then tailwind, thus the 0.0 reading.
10.49 could be legit.

I thought they already did several articles on this and it was wind-aided and the machine malfunctioned.
All other heats and jump at the time were over 4 on the gauge.
And the head then tail will not give a zero reading.
Strong crosswind i belive. Neither head nor tail
She had a 2.5 m/s breakwind. Mexican the night before.
I think the wind was swirling around the stands. Strong crosswind where the judge was holding the flag, tailwind just after the start, zero wind where the wind guage was and tailwind at the finish.
Who cards about the wind. The bigger issue was her being doped to the gills.
