Why is anybody surprised that Tim won this race
________
I dont think anyone is surprised and even the ST article says that. It's the time that was won by, that was questioned. Big big difference there.
ETA: Like I said, more times than not in sports, outlier splits occur because of specific outlier conditions.
ETA #2- Motto drafting isn't something that is unheard of at IM races, so I think it's fair to atleast consider, and not act as if nothing happened there. To not add that as part of the story as as foolish on your part for trying to clarify how this result could have occurred. Maybe he never once drafted, but IM races at the front have had issues before. That's reality of situation, and necessary evil with getting media coverage.
