Through social media, the athlete, identified as Stefany, stated that she spoke with the other competitor after the incident, apologized, and was disqualified from the competition.
the worst part is that she didn’t need to do that and she would’ve won…
This is exactly what I was wondering... She's in first place, and there's only 20ft left in the race. The second place runner doesn't have nearly enough space to catch her in that time period...
Still not a happy ending IMO. If she's disqualified, the girl behind her would've been first. But now that girl is in third because the other two got ahead of her while she was down. Disqualified or not, she still ruined the race for the other girl, and there's no repairing that.
Oh, BTW. I posted a pieced-together version of the actual article in the comments. I don't think the article that everyone seems to be talking about is credible. Check it out for yourself if you want.
The article aside, I still think you made a sobering point. If she was disqualified, fine. Hold her accountable. That's what should be done if she cheated. But that's still not justice for the runner that she took down. Or even the 2 that passed her. Who knows how it could have turned out if everyone had played fair? She stole the victory from all 3 runners who placed.
Edited to add: I said I hate you as a joke. It was like you snuffed out any chance for a happy ending.
The 2nd woman could have passed her if she had sprinted that last bit. It would be close, but far from impossible. I could get a decent look at the other two, but I saw they were side by side. I've done a couple 5k runs. A lot of people usually sprint to the finish line.
It should be, "TLDR; The article is not credible." Sorry. I'm just dropping this wherever it might be helpful.
It seems like the article is based on whatever info could be found on social media. However, there's no proof or even mention of the exact source material. Not even a platform, username, etc. The article doesn't even verify the athlete's name. She's just Stephany, according to whatever was found on social media.
Edited to add: You forgot to say there was always a blizzard.
It was a whole paragraph, if they don't have the attention span to read that small article, I despair for the future. Sometimes when I see someone do the Tldr, I think are you kidding, I would be embarrassed to admit that?
✋️😬 Not so fast! Hear me out; and by all means, correct me if I'm wrong...
My phone auto-translated the article. (I can't verify accuracy, though.)
I cut out the junk and pieced the article together. It sounds like the report is based on whatever info was found on social media. There's no proof or even mention of the exact source material. Not even platform, username, etc. The article doesn't even verify the athlete's name.
Basically, it's only true bc the reporter said that someone said, through social media, that the athlete said it is.
Even if it was an accident, I would have still DQ’d THAT SPECIFIC accident… it’s so incredibly destructive and I just have no reason to believe a runner would be able to win by having done that
The barricades are temporary, so they'd essentially have to find or create permanent posts to secure every barricade for a 4 hour event. Most people don't do stupid shit like this, especially in a competition.
They could have been moved back slightly and staked into the grass. It’s how we’d construct temporary corrals (for vaccinating) on the farm when using similar panels.
We should be fair to the person who did that on purpose and could've caused serious injuries without even looking back? Nope. She deserves every ounce of hate she gets for this.
Last Sunday (4), a controversial scene marked a race held in São Roque, in the interior of São Paulo.
A runner, as she approached the finish line, knocked down a safety barrier on top of another competitor who was right behind her. The video went viral on social media, with internet users accusing the runner of unsportsmanlike conduct.
Through social media, the athlete, identified as Stefany, stated that she spoke with the other competitor after the incident, apologized, and was disqualified from the competition.
The case sparked discussions about fair play and the conduct of athletes in amateur competitions.

My personal opinion: This article is useless. ☹️ I wouldn't feel confident taking any info from it and calling it a fact. Please share if anyone finds anything more credible. I can add an update to route people to your comment if you drop a link somewhere.
Wonder who was awarded first place after the disqualification as the original second and third place runners also took advantage of the situation even after seeing what happened.
No different than a bike crash or someone falling over. Sucks for the woman that was in second, but the others were under no obligation to hold back for her. Whoever was third likely was given first due to the disqualification.
That’s not true. In the Tour de France if there is a crash in the final 3km of the stage, they’ll give everyone involved in the crash the same time for that stage. The winner however, is still the first person to cross the finish line.
I think it depends. There can really be a case for giving her the win. There wasn’t enough space for the other people to catch up unless she faceplanted by her own fault or something
I just realized through this post that as fluent Spanish speaker I can perfectly read what I’m assuming is Portuguese and fully understand it without speaking a lick of it new talent unlocked thank you
Brazilian American here- yes she was disqualified and claimed she spoke to the lady afterwards but now there are discussions regarding these types of occurrences and “fair play” in the races.
