The women falling thought she would win and prematurely raised her arms to victory as the actual winner said to herself..."Oh my God, she is raising her arms and I can fuc*%##!! take her!" Thus she sprinted harder which caught the other woman by surprise and caused her to place her hands on the bars and try to sprint off balance. This caused her and her teammate to crash which sent both of them to the hospital. Her teammate Lynn Bessette broke her collarbone and will be out of racing for at least 6 to 7 weeks! DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! I learned that you should save the arm raising for the podium!
