<possibly flogging dead horse> Okay, sure, but in the OP video the woman was back up, recovered, and running toward the finish line. Still not sure what is wrong turning on your kick and with passing her for the win. </flogging>

Who said there was anything wrong?
I dont sweat. I ooze liquid awesome.
It occurred to me that you can't have sportsmanlike conduct if it becomes part of the rules. It must be supererogatory. You also cannot have unsportsmanlike conduct if it's similar legislated against: then it just becomes rule-breaking. They become unidentifiable as sportsmanship. It's nice that there's always a possibility for people to act well toward each other despite not being required to. And if there is an ethos established by the elite in the field, and a culture to the sport that the fans and athletes cherish, then they are justified in their scorn of someone who is violating the cultural norms because that is one way culture is preserved (shunning the deviants). Note that similarly, the fans/athletes who scorn the deviant are only under the obligation to accept the action as legal, but under no obligation to approve of it. You don't have to shake your opponent's hand in chess, but when you don't you are being a jerk.

Ok .. while you guys ponder on the philosophical dimensions of racing ...
Here is another super fun thing from Japan ... the full video is worth watching. Ok .. time to go to work .. see ya guys later.
Not sure if any unsportsmanlike conduct occurred. But I'm pretty sure stadjak has the RA record for the use of "supererogatory" in one thread.
I still don't know what that word means. Let me see how long my innocence lasts.

Wow
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

: superfluous
Can we just use overunenjoined?
The whole idea that the word starts with "superer" made me guess superfluous.
Well .. she did see her get up after she fell down .. there is being competitive and then there is sportsmanship (even while being competitive) ..
At what point in a race is it okay to pass a runner that has fallen?
There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.
We are always running for the thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill, searching for the thrill of it
When you are doing the Tron dance as you pass ...
When you have a clear passing zone that does not endanger the fallen runner or any other runners, and that does not impede any emergency medical personnel (on foot or in vehicle).
Dude. Come on, now. Look at your title and your original post, and tell me that there was no evaluative connotation.

Dude. Come on, now. Look the original post, and the second line of that very post after "See this".
Dude. Come on, now. I read that, and there is this at the end of it: "but still...". Maybe you just need to let us know what you meant by that.
I refuse to look at the definition provided by SRL. I just think that is a made up word, and somehow made it into a dictionary like texting.
