So, which one won?

Dave

why would you put a stupid step right before the finish line. That is the stupidest finish line ever. Unless I am missing something.

awesome ending though

who did win?

I would say the guy on the right, his timing chil appears to cross first. The austrian guy as in fron, but he dove too soon. Nice to know ahead of time that you have a “safe” surface to dive on!

oh my god, that was awesome. made my stomach hurt to think about how hard they were going. bet theirs hurt too! lol!!!

Looks like the guy on the right dived too soon and his timing chip did not cross the line first! Guy on left’s leg went over first…what a finish.

I checked the results. The Kazakh (the dude on the right side of the screen) won.

Wicked.

Strike that reverese it…you are right…i confused my right from my left…ops
.

Just say you were talking about the racers’ right and left…

Brilliant new course design to fill the finish line bleachers with nascar and wrestling fans.

Is it just me, or doesn’t the persons body crossing the finish line first, like in track, count? I thought the timing chip was there more for convenience, not for being the official spot the timing was measured from.

In which case the guy on the right still should win.

Another boring ITU race… :wink:

Looks like it was ramped and not an actual step. But still, that’s kind of silly.

Just imagine if they wet that down… Slip-n-Slide!

still bloody retarded. The finish would have been a lot better if they could have both ran through the finish instead of having to traverse that ramp. Are we adding steeplechase to tris now?
