Not sure it was fair but seems legal.
Why didn't Allyson Felix dive also to get the Gold?

I have seen runners dive for the finish line. Its excellent strategy if you are running out of gas.
I am happy for Shaunae Miller. I am always happy when one of those small Carribbean islands beats the USA, Russia or Europe.
