I didnt know that was legal..

Sorry don't agree with this. It's a running competition not a diving competition.

Fantastic use of fast and furious quote

If ya ain't first, you're last

She was leaning then started to fall and dove to not lose. She didn't just decide to dive as if she were sliding headfirst ala baseball.

Thanks Charlie Sheen.
thegarlicawakens
I didn't know they were allowed to do that. I heard her talk about it on the radio. Fucking adorable.

At least in high school, we were disqualified either for diving or for sticking our arms out. Only our chest and head counted.

The rulebook says nothing about your feet, it's about your torso. That's also why you lean at the finish.
Gianttesticlemonster
This was an incredible race! I am happy to see it on imgur.
MapToTheCrunch
It looks like a cheap win. But if it's not against the rules then I guess it's still a win!
LoveConquersAllLoveHandlesMe
Should have overnight'd parts from Japan.
SugarSmack
It just looks like that girl wanted it more. She literally threw herself at the finish line. I think what she did is badass.
manowar669
I hope they all start doing it.
Highlander8795
No point trying it against Bolt though, he's already halfway round his victory lap before you hit the ground.
AkwardBearHug
Vin Diesel is not wise, he's a douche.
ConspicuousSpellingError
I thought it was a huge person kicking a smaller person in the ass.
iamjusthonest
Go big or go home.

..."An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it."
Bubblesandthekittyminions
I thought your chest had to cross first. Thus making the diver a winner? Unless that is illegal?
demonjester1515
Nope, you're correct and it's not illegal.
DamnKidsAndYourMusic
The rules should say the winner has to completely cross the finish line. In that case Felix would have won

I live my life a quarter pounder at a time.
MetalSkeletal
I live my life a quarter mile at a time. My life is very slow.
GiggleWiggleJiggle
Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Europe?
thegarlicawakens
A royale...with cheese.
Zippla
I didn't know they added track to the Fall Olympics.
AlltheAnswers
Hah!
maxkm5st1
The Olympics are in august, summer is June July august, fall is Sept Oct Nov
waskiwa
"Fall" olympics, because she fell
maxkm5st1
Holy fuck Im dumb
Zippla
It happens to the best of us.
Spellsthingswrongallthetime
The "FALL" Olympacs was a joke
maxkm5st1
Holy fuck Im dumb
MuyGuapo
She was fading and Felix was passing. She dove/fell and won. That's like clinching a bowling match with a Brooklyn. A win, but with an "*"
DiabolicPenguin
There's no "*" , a win is a win.. she didn't break any rules and she shouldn't be treated like she did
MuyGuapo
Maybe. Maybe not. Agree to disagree.
DiabolicPenguin
So you'd rather take away her legitimate win than admit that you're wrong?
MuyGuapo
*correct
MuyGuapo
No, because I understand that opinions are not objective, and cannot be inherently current or incorrect. I like the color blue. Wrong also?
MuyGuapo
I'd think you would understand basic stuff like that. Cmon, be better than that.
MetalSkeletal
The other girl was granny shifting, not double clothing like she should.
Twtmoose
Fast and the furious on netflix was like a godsent
scabab
imho she overspun around the 500m mark, everything after that was spill-to-fill
muscletank
double clothing is best clothing
maninplaidbd
Double clutching for anyone who is wondering
ponynamedpony
I don't know what this means
JamShady
It's a reference to the film, fast and furious
ponynamedpony
Ooo. Thanks for the clarification! I was lost.
BadBoyBoogieBoarder
..now me and The Mad Scientist gotta rip apart the block and replace the PISTON RINGS you fried!

I laughed loudly

Hedgehoglet
Dont you mean blipping into the lower gear? Double clutching is when you cluch into neutral, then revmatch and cluch into gear?
[deleted]
[deleted]
Hedgehoglet
Aha, okay :)
bentwrenches
Double clutching is clutch depressed, go to neutral, release the clutch and depress it again before up or downshifting to get input shaft...
bentwrenches
speed correct. Comes from old, non synchronized transmissions.
BlumkinSpiceLatte
If diving gave you an advantage, then every single athlete (on their biggest day ever) would do it
konqq
She had the balls to do it!
MoveAlongNothingtoSeeHere
She tripped though, wasn't intentional. She's quoted as saying she stumbled and went for the dive as she was already falling
manowar669
I hope they all start doing it, though.
choloeseguay
So...
Daloth
Baseball says hello.
demonjester1515
It can give you a minuscule advantage if done correctly and a huge disadvantage if not. It's a tactic. It worked. Good for her.
Edunc12
She's also 6'2" which probably helped.
MoveAlongNothingtoSeeHere
She tripped
Schex44
If the other runner leaned more she may have synched it
DeusExHircus
Sport evolve all the time when athletes discover ways to get an upper hand within the rules. Look at all those now and then gifs
thegreatblacksby
False. Those tracks are made for spiked shoes, not skin. That really. Really. Fucking. Hurts. Source- former track runner.
EyesOnThePies
Judging by her expression I'd say she would agree. The face of incoming ouch.
ridingtheclouds
Agreed. Tore up my leg when I ate it in the hurdles. I was winning too. :(
DonJuanPrawn
Not on Mondo track as much. It hurt a lot more in high school on the all weather track.
thegame1921
2nd-ed. Tore up my shoulder falling across finish line at end of 200m.
TheThingNoNotThatOne
Well, it's either avoiding a few boo-boos or getting an Olympic gold. Not a hard decision in my book.
gigawhatislove
Like @DonJuanPrawn said, taking a spill on Mondo isn't so bad. Plus, who cares about a little added pain for gold at the olympics. 1/2
gigawhatislove
actually, I don't care enough to complete the thought. sorry for wasting your time ¿2/2?
GrImmgur
Well, it sure as hell gave her one.
killyourown
Nope.
m0wgli
I don't know why you're getting down voted... she won with the dive not sure if she could without it
GrImmgur
Seriously
ArneNielsen
But it doesn't...
BlumkinSpiceLatte
Right. That's why people shouldn't act like she was cheating
TheChickenEyes
No one is saying she's cheating
debunker
Are people actually saying she cheated? I haven't heard anyone even mention that.
Cavalish
I was with a group of people who wouldn't shut up about how SNEAKY and UNDERHANDED it was.
debunker
Well, they're just plain wrong. I'd venture to bet that the have absolutely no experience with track, except for a few minutes every 4 years
wonderted
It can if done right but it's hard to practice without the adrenalin and really only helps in races 800m and under
mrducker
Well the sliding itself slows you down, its the plunge you take before sliding that might win you some distance.
AlltheAnswers
Which is what worked for this chick.
mrducker
Yep and all the runners plunge themselves in the end, this chick just went all in. I don't see the problem with this.
wonderted
Track is about crossing that line first - that's what makes it such a great sport! No discretion. If you could do it sliding on your ass...
