The moment she is overtaken she does what?

A. Dives over the finish line in a last desperate effort.
B. Kickes/grabs her oppponent.
C. Ditches her spanish flag as that is now a bit embarrassing
D. Quickly stops the clock on her watch to have a faster time than her opponent.

Ukrainian should be disqualified. She ran to the finish line.

Never celebrate too early, but the Ukrainian athlete had illegal form

At what point is a walker considered a runner in this sport? Looks like the Ukrainian athlete sprinted past the walker. I’m unfamiliar with the sport so I’m genuinely wondering.🤔

I think she was too elated to realize she was still running her race, and the idea of her becoming a medalist got to her head. Oh, well, let's all learn from her mistake and never repeat it...

I thought at least one foot had to be in contact with the ground at all times?

That bird in blue was running.
Cheat.😊
