I already addressed that when she was excited for finishing 3rd and not pissed or banging her bars. That proved to me she wasn't a sprinter and rode the ending exactly how she did. Look up a few pages up I think.
ETA: My response to her being "happy" for 3rd at end of race:

Then that was exactly why she worked to ensure she could sprint for at worse bronze. If she knew she couldnt sprint, it makes complete sense in my mind to gurantee a top 3 versus waiting and then only finishing 4th. So your reasoning proves to me atleast, exactly why she worked the finish like she did.

If you know you can't outsprint the other 2, and you know this, and there is still one person up the road, I'd say she rode exactly how she wanted to get a medal.
