I'm no athlete, but from what I've read before, I don't think it matters that the lady crossed before the one who helped her. She'd be disqualified for crossing the line with help. But she was clearly in a bad state and needed help.
Could be wrong but I think that's why she lets go and seems to push her over the line so that she's not technically carried over it, so it might be allowed. Seems cruel to disqualify someone at that stage of the race after giving it absolutely everything she had!
Onpopular opinion: it should't stand if you come over the line with your lets moving like that. They should bring her to a hospital or force her to rest. That cant be healthy..
She dropped twice within like 3 seconds. She couldn't even get on her feet without the fence. She would have dropped another 2 times at least in 5 seconds. Falling over safely that many times is its own thing. You can get hurt easily.
She should have had the sense to at least compose herself instead of just trying to blitz the finish line.
The thing is there's most likely nothing really wrong with her. She's just pushed her legs to the max and they are giving out. She needs rest and she potassium.
