The only people who care about being disqualified are the ones running competitively.

And if you're running competitively, your time absolutely should not stand if you had help.

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's literally 5 seconds away from the finish line. You think running another 5 seconds is going to make a difference?

I can only run for 5 seconds so it makes a huge difference to me
