For the majority of us, collapsing on the asphalt would, at the the least, slow us down, if not force us to call the nearest St. John's ambulance for assistance. None of Yehualaw. She actually seemed to accelerate up after falling.

She had been in the lead group of six runners from the beginning and had consistently been close to the front of the field.

Then, seemingly unaware that it was there, she tripped over a sleeping police officer speed bump.
