Lost in the tragedy of Sunday's killer Chicago Marathon (one person died, several hundred were hospitalized and the race canceled midway through because of the near-90-degree heat), was one of the most amazing finishes to a race ever. As Adriana Pirtea is celebrating her apparent win and high-fiving spectators, Berhane Adere of Ethiopia comes from nowhere, in an incredible sprint to catch her. Her come-from-behind win is so impropable, the yahoos holding the victory tape at the finish line miss her entirely. Watch this 90-second video!
WOW!!!! thx for posting. AMAZING!!!
