notice how she went wide to avoid being spotted

the man in the finish line does not have enough reflex to move one yard for the champion!!!

[zappadead13]

clearly the men obscured Be Adere NY lets the chicks out first go Paula!!!

This is exactly what you want to happen to self-glorifying, cheat-beating gorillas

Grats to Berhane for keeping her ego down, head up, and racing like a true champion

@NUNCLESTER A tactic I always used on my training buddies!!!

Commentator's must have thought It was WHITE GIRL DAY !!

@merriwthr26 Yes, the best distance runners in the world come from Kenya and Ethiopia, agree. Also, she ran smart and ran guts out at the end. Great finish, maybe one of the best marathon finishes. I don't agree that they wanted the "white" girl to win. I suggest you should ask yourself why you said that. What kind of impact do you want to make in the world and is this comment, doing that? Be the change you want to see in the world, yes?

[merriwthr26]

Lol!!! They really wanted the white girl to win. The best distance runner in the world come from Kenya and Ethiopia and no matter how you people hate it, it's true. Deal with it. You can say it's devastating to have someone come from behind and beat you but it is tactics. When Lasse Viren did it in 72 it wasn't a big deal no was it!

1:50- 2:03 is EPIC

@saberking1992 she won the whole damn thing. don't talk.

[dredandmrbears]

@NUNCLESTER I don't know she came around the corner flying went wide and maybe didnt want to get caught up with the men between so continued wide, notice she couldnt change course enough to take the banner.

@saberking1992 How is it weak , it could be tactics or sometimes you have bad spots and you recover. When will people learn don't celebrate til you actually have won.
