if he just leans at the end, but he didn't, and the guy next to him leaned his way into second place and into the finals.

Was it Molly Huddle who missed out on a medal at some prestigious meet in NYC because she started celebrating before she had actually crossed the line? Somehow, we have to get the runners to remember to run the race all the way through and lean. There was an 800m runner at our kids' HS who missed a title because the other guy leaned at the end.
