It is really a shame, that she fell. Her victory is now being attributed to diving and her win is somehow tainted. But in all probability, the reason she fell is because her legs gave way and she was totally spent and would likely have just lost the race if she stayed on her feet. So in my eyes she is the gold medalist but most people believe the real winner is Felix the silver medallist. This may prompt a rule change; perhaps something that says that to be consider a winner your foot must be the first part of your body to touch the track beyond the finishing line (in addition to your torso being the first to cross the finishing line) 1 Like |

I feel for Allyson Felix on this , she also lost a third place in the US 200m trials to another runner who fell across the line. ProYouServiceUK: 1 Like |

anitank:Hahahaha dive to finish line from 100m behind, trying to imagine it! But your point is valid. Athletes will no longer think twice before diving (flying) across the line. They may start employing diving instructors. Am a good diving instructor btw 2 Likes |

Vanquay16: The rules of the olympics track event is that any part of your body that crosses the finishing line first wins. Even if you are at the starting line and your opponent is already at the finish line but your hair is as long as the track and you whip it across the track and it passes the finish before your opponent, you have won! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oche211:I dey tell you. Provided the act is considered legal. That is all. According to the lady, she had that great intention for wining a gold and suddenly she found herself diving. Wonders shall never end. |

i can bet most of you commenting didn't watch the race. well I did and that don't look like the typical dive you would see in a football or rugby match. according to the replays she just fell on the ground gasping for air. how can someone who planned to dive , be seen gasping for breathe instead of rising up immediately to celebrate her victory. most of you should go watch the highlight to understand better. |
