How did they time her 1 full second down.... THAT seems impossible.

Chebet won that race for Kenya, broke the tape first, and they give her third? What’s going on?

THIS.
My guess is a chip time mix up, rather than gun time...

Einsteins special theory of relativity and graft.
The fact that they had Chebet finishing 3rd leads me to believe that the initial result is nonsense. There was no way she was 3rd. But ya, she totally Mahkloufi'd the finish.
Beatrice Chebet ROBBED!
This course is sadistic. I like it!
One would hope there is a side on camera???
Chebet should have stuffed her sports bra to get a better lean. The finish looked weird as all finished looking relaxed like they had won easy.
I am calling it. Jakob will win.
He will run out in a controlled fashion, be a little behind.
But then we will slowly get to the front.
Viking power :-)

For some parts.

You can see and almost FEEL how upset Chebet is every time they show her on camera.
This is horrible...

Yeah that finish is absolute bullshiz.
Chebet won.
But MAN, that scene at the finish is what XC is all about, man. You see it all the time at lower level races, but these quality runners are very rarely reduced to such rubble. Amazing to watch.
Them girls are wasted :-)
Can`t wait to see the men
Jakob is running.
He arrived yesterday.
It was just an interview with dad/coach Gjert on Norwegian TV.
Jakob looked at the course just this morning.
According to his dad, the biggest challenge is to keep concentrated over 8k.
There was actually not that many collapsing at the finish. Well done ladies!

The time is measured with second precision. One moment you're in some second, the next instant you're in the next second.
