You can’t pick a line for 50m down the final stretch and then swerve out when you’re getting passed!! Unreal

I totally agree.
I didnt see it as enough to be worthy of a dq. It was more of a slow drift in my opinion.
I thought it was really saavy. Upon watching the replay the other girl was coming by and it won the race for her. Nothing malicious - that's racing!
I've watched some races where that kind of conduct does qualify as a DQ. But others will claim it's all fair in racing. I really don't like it when racers do seemingly shady stuff like that though.
She was clearly headed straight towards the finish. The front-facing replay clearly shows her look over to her right, sees the other girls coming up, DISTINCTLY swerves over and cuts her off.
That is not savvy racing. That's dirty. It's impeding the runner behind you. It's the kind of stuff you see in cartoons, not real racing.
She Is TOO CUTE To Disqualify.
It is important to position yourself well in a championship race. If someone wants to try to sit and kick they are putting themselves behind someone and putting the burden on themself to pass that person. What Fray did was nothing malicious at all and good racing tactics to not allow someone a free pass. Fray controlled the race and lead from start to finish and showed a great move in the last 50m to win.
Next thing people are going to be complaining about other athletes boxing in someone and calling that unfair when really it comes down to positioning.
Race to win.
It was all subtle but the slow motion replay made it look much more egregious. Give her her due. All these years of flaking our due to racing her own teammate Watson with both showing poor tactics this year she had enough to hang on.
Nah

Exactly right. Plus, she never left her lane. It' s not like she pulled a Shannon Rowbury and strayed a few lanes. Smart racing on her part.
Ha - she won. Eat a ...... you crybaby.
Is there video?
You guys should have protested if you thought something was wrong, not whined about it anonymously online.
it literally happens all the time.
You actually can do what she did. now who should be DQ'ed is Janeek Browne in the 100m hurdles, from hurdle 1 to to 9 she was hurdling the LSU girls hurdles, slow it down and watch it.
