Rowbury pushed Muir back just before the line!

I thought i was the only won who saw that. They won't disqualify her though, in part because it doesn't effect Muir that much, she has won the diamond race.

Why would you think you only saw that? Very obvious, but not dq worthy. What an awesome race!

Does anyone have a video? It looked a little fishy to me too but I didn't get a great look

Rowbury pushed off Muir. There is no doubt about it. If you watch the video, you see Rowbury's right arm swing right, Muir suddenly decelerates and Rowbury suddenly accelerates across the line.

How is it not DQ worthy? Rowbury won the race because of it.

That push explains why Rowbury took a dive after crossing the finish. Her claim will be that it was a normal reaction as part of her pre-fall dance.

She as a fat old British lady face.

It will take you many days of long baths to get that massive cake of lipstick off. Too much of too much.

Rowbury was certainly rowing at before she crossed the finish line.

In Rowbury's defense, from the camera's angle it looked like Muir was crowding her on the inside.

Could have pretty easily cost Muir the title too, if you're the best runner in the race you should have to hold someone else back

How does that even make sense?

Not so, Rowbury floated out to edge of lane 2.

Absolute DQ for Rowbury.

Does anyone have Laura Muir's back at the race? Why isn't there a protest?

It's like nothing has changed in 230 years. Americans telling the British to get out of the way.

Looked like she tried to do the PIT maneuver. I think she should be DQd.

Where is the king to make everything right? Nothing has changed I tell you!
