Rowbury pushed Muir back just before the line!

That wasn't a normal lean.

You lean forward.

She leaned to the right with her arm extended and raking back.

"preventing your opponent from leaning" is a difficult concept for you.

It's more difficult for you. Rowbury did exactly what Wulbeck did to Coe in the '77 World Cup. An actual tackle.

What does a boy's race from 40 years ago have to do with a women's race of a day ago?

Summing up:

Rowbury definitely cheated, impeded Muir, and that's the only reason she won.

However I'll post a long nonsensical message to try and convince people that this didn't happen.

Exactly.

No worries.

The correct decision has been made:

Payout from Zurich race:

a) Shannon Rowbury: $10,000

b) Laura Muir: $40,000 JACKPOT FOR WINNING OVERALL DIAMOND LEAGUE TITLE FOR THE 1500m!!!!

It was Muir’s third fastest time of the year and the third fastest ever by a Briton, coming five days after she set a new national record, her second of the summer, of 3min55.22sec in Paris.

The performance netted the University of Glasgow veterinary medicine student the $40,000 (£30,140) jackpot for winning the overall Diamond League title for her event.

The Scot said: “This is amazing, I never expected anything like this. I am the Diamond Race winner. This is big, big for me.”

Laura is a very exciting runner.

Laura is also pretty fast.

Laura also has a lot more money from the Zurich race than Shannon Rowbury.

WHAT FUN FOR MY CLEAN SCOT GIRL LAURA MUIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Laura is coming to the United States right now... to destroy more US runners!!!)

Oh well.

GO LAURA MUIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that's what actually had happened, Muir would have protested.

Bread would be apples.

Therefore, the sun shines at night.

Another second place. Perhaps you were referring to something else besides running? Maybe she can "destroy" them in Cards Against Humanity at the after-party.
