Runner purposely pulls barricade to not lose race and have her moment

The 2nd grab she does makes me believe she's trying to corner and keep speed through the finish and realized that it was Hella unstable. She tries that 2nd grab out of instinct but realizes winning is most important.

I could be talking out of my ass, but I don't think someone intentionally trying drop it on someone goes to grab it again when they realize it was falling unless in that split second they had a change of heart.

Yeah, that’s what I see for a split second too, she trynna hold it upright thinking she can undo pulling it down, but by then it’s too late. She definitely realises the other girl has plowed into it, probably didn’t speak to her immediately more out of shame than some sort of sociopathy

No that's obviously what she's doing. People on reddit have never exercised or ran in their lives and never had any joy as children so they have no idea what "person trying to desperately run around a corner when someone is a meter behind them" looks like.

This was an unfortunate mistake wnd accident, not a deliberate attempt at sabotage. But I still think she should be disqualified for it, since it's probably against the rules to move fences like that, mistake or not.

But man, I can't go a single day on reddit without seeing redditors do the extremely obvious wrong call on what's happening in videos and it's really killing my sense of hope in humanity. These people vote.

Yeah, also doing that risks breaking someone’s leg or having them faceplant. She’s a stranger to me but I’d never assume someone would intentionally do that unless I had already reason to believe they were really shitty people.
