The Bahamas' Shaunae Miller edged American Allyson Felix in a thrilling 400m final Monday night by seven-hundreths of a second, crossing the finish line with a dive (which is completely legal, by the way). 

Many viewers were outraged with the result, with some (foolishly) arguing that Miller cheated, and that Felix should have been the rightful winner. In a classy post-race interview on NBC, Felix herself admitted that she simply didn't run the race she wanted to.

Felix later said that she should have been quicker at the start of the race.
