5th should give it up to the 4th place finisher in my view.
But from the video she does seem to be pretty Emotional. Feel bad about throwing shade her way
I agree with you about giving it to 4th.
On the shade part just want to point out I didn’t sleuth this out. I’ve never heard of this pro and have no reason to throw shade. This was a video the athlete herself produced that appeared on my YouTube algorithm. I don’t think it is throwing shade. More of a discussion point. So far the majority agrees that her move was fair game. If there is belief I’m calling out something that should be kept private I’ll delete it.
I don't think you need to delete it. It's a weird situation - and I know of this athlete and I don't know that she probably took her pro card to get experiences and to get a worlds slot would be amazing for her. I have a couple athletes that would be in the same boat - wanting a Taupo slot. Interesting how this one was done - at Indian Wells they had the top 5 pros up and did it right there - they said yes or no and done. Would've been easier in this case for sure.
It will be interesting how it goes at some of the Pro Series races - like I think Texas has 6 slots per gender - and there will be lots of people qualified already.
Your post is fair - I read it as maybe a little aggressive like the 5th place girl did the wrong thing but it's just one of those IM things - not sure what I would do in the same situation.
