This happened to me in a 5k. I laughed afterwords and asked one of the race workers if they got a photo of it that they could post online. Boys are just dumb and oblivious sometimes.
So he was supposed to carefully look around and give any nearby woman special treatment?
It's a race. Run faster if you want to get through the tape ahead of any random dude.
I watched the video and she is emoting exactly what I feel when Mr. Slow Random Back of the Mid Pack sprints past you, just to get to the finish line ahead of your high placing in the womens' race. I sometimes shout at them to race the other men, which of course they can't, because they're too slow, but I usually reserve that remark for that annoying man who sticks to my feet like glue, so that I act as an unofficial pacemaker for his effort at sub 20 minutes.
However, if you ever develop breasts, periods, a wide pelvis, shrink in height to nearer the average woman's height, have a tiny amount of testosterone but large amounts of oestrogen and progestogen, and all the other biological differences that make men faster than women but unable to give birth, then do feel free to criticise my running performance compared to you. Because you are much slower than me, comparatively. Men who can't race the other men, who get gratification out of sprinting in front of women at the finishing line and calling women 'slow' are pathetic. You have all the physical attributes to be faster, but you're still the same speed as a woman who is biologically very different from you.
Just race the other men.
