I guess the crowd noise kept him from hearing the other runner gaining on him? Still, come on, look behind you already, dude.

.....otherwise, saying that the second place finishers disappointment should be acknowledged and his small but unfortunate "celebration" forgiven.

I got so tired of seeing ball runners commit the colossal stupidity of celebrating a touchdown while they were still five yards or so out. Not that they stopped and spiked the ball on the playing field instead of in the end-zone. But that they would slow down, dance and weave, or wave the ball in the air triumphantly, only to get clobbered by a defensiveman before he could cross the line.

When we would run foot races in gym class in school, the coach always told us, run flat out, 100% until you cross the finish line, and not a second or an inch before. How is it people who compete in sports professionally didn't learn that very simple lesson?

I know there are some highly intelligent athletes out there. But the meatheads and the blockheads seem to outnumber them.
