Its not clickbait. The title never said she won it said she made up a "huge" gap which she did. She was originally in 5th but closed the gap to get 3rd

[@tensemurm5924]

@@MJ-dq6ph According to the commentary, she was in 4th at the handover. She got 3rd because one of the runners ahead of her was tripped up. She made up some distance, but only gained 1 place (and it wasn't even due to her). Hardly something amazing

[@DCGomez-zg1wd]

Good relay, looks like the winning team could have been dq'd when the anchor leg cut in without a proper lead. Although the rules are so gray that it's barely ever enforced. This is why you teach your runners to run defensively. When the passing runner made a move toward the front and moved in, she should have run into a carefully placed forearm of the athlete she was passing. Not enough to interfere, but as a warning that she was impeding her competitor's progress.

[@ILOVEHATSUNEMIKU39]
