When Laura Muir won a 1500m gold
medal, she wasn’t allowed a victory lap.
Though customary when a runner wins
the gold, a European Indoor Athletics
Championships official blocked Laura’s
attempt because there ‘wasn’t enough
time.’ Once she realized no one would
be able to catch her, she took off, ran
a victory lap, and nobody caught her-
even though she stopped to high five
the crowd along the way. Source Source 2
