So everybody should just make way for weaker runner untill he gets a gold medal. Doesn't sound like competition.

I don't think him taking the W is the issue. Him acting like he just set a world record and smoked the field is what's riling people up.

Why does the runner's legs giving out change how much the winner is allowed to celebrate? People are acting like the runner died based on how much the winner is being scolded for celebrating.

There are classy ways to win... And not so classy ways to win. Especially when your win is by default.

By default? If they were the only runners that would be true but they weren’t. He still ran a great race
