Amen......
She is the Huffington Post encapsulated.
Jane Seo's inspiration?
I did two half marathons last year. Her times without cheating would have been pretty good.
Why would someone cheat; they will never get away with it.
It’s a “resume enhancer” for the libtard. She’ll be a HuffPoo editor soon enough, not just a writer.
Well, she’s certainly fit and trim.
More very “FAKE NEWS” from the left.
A Huffington Post lifestyle writer and food blogger saw her blazing-fast marathon time go up in smoke after an investigation revealed she cut part of the 13.1-mile course.
Jane Seo a 24-year-old Harvard-educated writer who covers food in New York and contributes to the Huffington Post
Winners Are Not Cheaters
She’s a perfect “journalist” for HuffPo, the lack of integrity means she will never be disturbed by writing falsehoods.
A Harvard graduate who wrote her thesis about NYC food trucks, I wonder how much of her “data” she made up for certain desired effects?? It may turn out to be a very “creative” thesis with some food trucks and menu items that never existed.
I’m guessing that if she had placed 6th or 7th nobody would have noticed or even cared. When you’re going after the hardware, you’re going to be more closely scrutinized.
Yeah, that caught my eye, “I made a HORRIBLE choice” = “I thought I was SO smart I’d never get caught by you yay-hoos!”
Honest people do not consider it a CHOICE to cheat whenever it suits them.
Rosie Ruiz was competing in a women's category. She "won the marathon" only against other women.
Is there any reason to believe that women are more prone to cheating on races than men? After all, there has been all sorts of male cheating in bicycle racing, with Lance Armstrong being a prominent example.
Maybe it's easier for women to cheat on a marathon in this particular way, because they can get lost in the crowd of men who are ahead of them.
Thank you for raising the level of conversation.
Then Rosie Ruiz tumbled across the finish line and was crowned the woman's winner before they realized she spend most of the race on the subway! This was before everybody had video cameras so the scam was much easier to pull off. Also, not many people in those days paid much attention to the women in the race.
It was the end of a era as the Boston Marathon was mostly dominated thereafter by men with un-pronounceable names from Africa and I lost interest in marathon racing. I liked the race when it was much smaller and usually local guys placed in the top ten if not win the race outright - as Rodgers did four times.
I do wish I could be transported back to that time however. Ronald Reagan was on his way to the presidency that year and though I didn't know it at the time, I was just beginning the best decade of my life. Would love to live those years over again.
Cheater-chan is a fraud and tries to play it off.
That was my point. Much easier for a woman to get away with this because most people don’t pay attention to the women in a major race. Not implying a man wouldn’t try it if he felt he could get away with it. But much harder for men because from the very start of the race, much attention is paid to the men in the leading pack. It’s virtually impossible for a man to insert himself into a race near the finish line and get away with it.
Here’s the key phrase:
“a Harvard grad “
She learned to cheat with the best. Typical Ivy League morality.
