In the last stretch of the race, Miller appeared to be giving every bit of her strength and will power, but stumbled to the track. The photo finish shows Felix sprinting across the line less than a second after her competitor mustered up enough energy to dive.

Despite the emotional reactions, this wasn’t the first time a dive decided a close track and field race. As NBC Olympics pointed out on Twitter, U.S. runner David Neville dove his way to a bronze, knocking Bahamian runner Chris Brown out of medal contention.
