I’m fairly sure in this race in particular the men were going slow enough for me to keep up, so yeah, they shouldn’t have held her back as many other women would’ve eventually done so too.
They paused the entire women’s race, so it wasn’t like it was just her who got “punished”. They probably should have noticed the gap was decreasing way sooner and intervened before it got so bad that a headline like this can come out.
Without all the details this seems really bad. Even with more details than the headline it seems awful that she had to stop and then ended up losing the race by a lot. It almost seems like she stopped while the race continued behind her. But with all the details, it seems like she may have lost the race due to her strategy. She was pushing way too hard early on and the women who paced themselves better ended up passing her later in the race.
