The thing is… depending on when the race occurred, those women didn’t finish in 4th and 5th place — they would’ve been disqualified for crawling. (USA Triathlon instituted the rule after the famous Julie Moss incident in the 1980s.)

I’m thinking training fail. Being an elite athlete doesn’t guarantee smart training choices. How could someone let themselves get so far gone? As for fueling, I have a hard time imagining a fueling change pulling someone out of a pit this deep.

I also found the video hard to watch… That sort of health risk is why USA Triathlon made “crawling” illegal. Crawl = Disqualified.

I’m a big fan of endurance sports and I completely admire the courage and determination displayed by the athletes in the video but pushing yourself to continue when in that sort of condition must have long term health implications. In my opinion you are better to pull out live to fight another day (healthy) and figure out why it happened and what you can do about it for the next event. This type of battering must have been detrimental to her future performances ……………..

How do you not help someone who is literally dying in from of you. People just run by likes it’s ok.

His collapse was apprently caused by hyponatremia – drank too much water, and sweated too much. He didn’t finish. It was really hard to watch.
