Mary Onyali essentially dived to win a bronze medal at Atlanta '96. It happens, it is part of the sport. |

harbdulrasaq88: Sometimes, I believe I am ahead of my mates, I thought about this longtime ago buy I worry why its not been used to win race. I thought may be it was not allowed now someone else has done it. Think about it, with the accelleration of 9ms per second, you can dive upto 15m/second and that would give u a 100m race for 9.5s..(world record) 1 Like |

She must have thought,'..what the hell am I gonna do?'Her head said,'dive', then her body followed symbolically and physically..She didn't cheat.She only used her head. |

Vanquay16: I don't think she intended to dive. Watch the replay, she had bent forward in an attempt to dip as she approached the finish line and then fell flat on her tummy. That technique would've been a disadvantage if she wanted to win by all means. She was leading going into the last 10 meters before Felix seem to catch up. I think she wanted to force out something from her reserve to propel her through the line before that fall. She clearly stumbled. 1 Like 1 Share |

Milllz:Did she say she fell? Why you twisting the story. She dived on purpose and attested to that fact. So what's your deal? And what is wrong with diving in football? Don't they dive to "head" a cross into the goalpost. 1 Like |

Just like scoring an offside goal in a footbal pitch, diving on finish line in racing should not be allowed. To make it a fair race, the foot which touches the last line first should be declared the winner otherwise people would start diving into finish line from 100 meters behind 2 Likes |

Every one calling this lady a cheat is wrong. The rule of the game is you have to carry your body without the aid of any mechanical Instrument. If you like jump, run, crawl or glide just reach the finish line before any other person. If you are familiar with the sport you will know that it is not only your foot that must touch the finish line but any of your body parts and that is why when runners are close to the finish line they trust their heads forward to beat other runners close to them. And mind you judges at the level of the Olympics are not incompetent and neither are they fools. Always think deeply before you judge. Peace. 2 Likes |

Just imagine losing to a dive Look at the expression on her face sef She knows she was being unfair and mischievous It's cos computers calculate such things If it were humans... der is no way she won I thought it's ur head or leg only that is even allowed to cross the line Very full of mischief.... thank goodness Allison Felix has golds already.... and she will definitely win the 4 x 400 relay 1 Like |
