Olympic runner quits after startling photo finish
It appears Jeneba Tarmoh’s hopes of competing in the 100 meter dash in this years Olympics have come to a quick and well uttered end. Following a bizarre photo finish, Tarmoh apparently decided to quit the race all together because another racer had finished briefly before her.
Tarmoh actually tied American racer Allyson Felix, which was what according to Mrs Tarmoh led her to exit the race because she felt was robbed of an ‘Olympic victory’.
