Ogura puts his hands up at the line, seemingly forgetting that they round up road race times. In the end, he gets a 60:00 not 59:59.

i'm confused
if they round up times, a 59:59 becomes 60:00 than he wasn't even close to making it.
he was a full minute behind. if they round "up" then a 59:01 becomes 60:00 and he wasn't even close.
and what race rounds up seconds? i have 12 marathons in athlinks right now and all go down to the second. i'll defer to those more knowledgeable if seconds are rounded away for WR/NR/etc.
Molly Huddle laughs at his premature celebration.

It's the fraction of a second which is rounded up, and is the common practice. If his actual time was 59:59.10 then it would be rounded up to 60:00. A 59:01.1 would be rounded up to 59:02.
Don't think it matters much - he didn't really break his stride with his celebration. If you wanted to somehow track down all the millisecond details and do a video analysis with timestamps and his speed variance, you might be able to prove something. But this is hardly a memorable "premature celebration".

Gotcha. thanks for the clarification....
Looking behind him 2-3 times probably hurt him worse.
A premature celebration led me to finish in less than 60 ... seconds.
She was totally hot.
who cares?
The answer to the question is no, it did not cost him any time.
What you don't get is that is the limit for a Japanese runner.
It looks like this..
Upper limit for:
Japanese runners & Hawkins 1:00:00
Oceania & American runners: 59:40
European runners: 59:10

Sure that's the limit yet some dude in the Ekiden just ran 58:30 in the middle of his 13.4 mile leg a month ago. Who's cares about sub 60.
He did run sub-60, but the result doesn't show it.
Assuming the finish line clock corresponds with official timing, outstretching his arms in celebration prior to finishing cost him a sub-60 result.
He might have lost only a 1/10th of a second or less as he slowed for this - but that's all it took.
He can see the clock change from 59:58 to 59:59 almost exactly as he crosses.
Milestone times are merely mortal temptations, brother.

60:00 pace is 5.8 meters per second. There's no way raising arms would slow you down 0.1 second because that would be near two feet, which I imaging would be more like braking. I'd think it's less than a 0.01 second loss for raising the arms because he's still running hard, and has momentum.
It'd be a close call if the raw time were less than 0.010 second over 59:59, but we don't know the raw time.
He takes his sunglasses off and does an arms-out double fist-pump for the cameras before crossing the finish line... whatever time he lost doing that may have been the difference if you can go by the finish clock.

Looked at the video again, and I'd say if he missed it by what he did at the finish line, it was by coasting over the line rather than taking off the glasses in the straight and fist pumping just before the line.
This is how close he was to posting an official sub-60 here... clock rolls to 59:59 exactly as he crosses...
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
