In an unexpected twist during the women's 400m final at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas clinched the gold medal in a moment of sheer determination. As the race neared its end, Miller stumbled briefly before making a spontaneous decision to dive across the finish line. This daring move allowed her to narrowly outpace American world champion Allyson Felix, securing victory with a time of 49.44 seconds. Despite the unconventional finish, Miller's strategic dive propelled her to the top of the podium, while Felix claimed silver in 49.51 seconds and Jamaica's Shericka Jackson took bronze. Reflecting on her unorthodox maneuver, Miller admitted it was a spur-of-the-moment decision driven solely by her desire for the gold medal. Though the dive left her with minor injuries, including cuts, bruises, and burns, it ultimately solidified her place as an Olympic champion.

I've never thought this was an actual "dive" so much as just completely running out of gas and falling across the finish line.
