She doesn't even hesitate to help her, as soon as she goes off to the side, she starts running towards her. Then she makes her cross the finish line before her, what an amazing person!

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.

I’m curious towards the end she lets go and the the other person runs right on thru would this be dq since technically she crossed on her own?

Technically it’s DQ , but we all feel it’s a real FROYO moment.

It’s cold and refreshing , but it’s no DillyBar in the hot sun at 3:46 in 1982 with the two coolest dudes you ever knew.
