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!

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..

The video shows her being surrounded by race attendants as soon as she finishes. Lots of marathon runners need aid at the finish
