rather awkward for him, one would think !
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
Long story short she came in fourth
nice quote
It was heart-rending to watch, ditto the Dutch racer that wiped out.

Questions for any cycling fans. I watched both the men's and women's race and, in both races, the leader coming out of the kills/rain forest was caught eventually by the pack (who were working together).
Questions are: Does this happen often in races? What are the benefits of breaking away from the pack?
