This Woman Better Not Step Foot In Kenya After Costing Country’s Runner LA Marathon Win

I’m assuming that this woman is Kenyan, and if she is … well … it might be time to find a new home.

As you may already know, American runner Nathan Martin was the winner of the Los Angeles Marathon, securing the victory with the closest margin in history after beating Kenya’s Michael Kimani Kamau by only 00.01 seconds.

But the drama was far more ratcheted up than that. (RELATED: Dana White Is Looking To Fix Boxing, And Boy Oh Boy, Does It Need This After Years Of Politics And Irrelevance)

Near the end of the race, Kimani Kamau went the wrong way because of some random woman, who can only assume is a Kenyan because of her waving the nation‘s flag in front of the runner. She impedes his path, and from there, all hell broke loose. She ends up running towards his left, forcing him to shift to the center of the fork, and then to make it worse, someone wearing a black shirt was waving him to go right to ultimately send him the wrong way. And then you had the whole deal with the motorcade also going right at the fork.

You can watch the wild scene here.

It was utter chaos, which allowed Martin to catch up to some extent, and that’s what eventually led to this:

Needless to say, I wouldn’t want to be that woman when trying to go back home to Kenya. What a way to blow glory for your country.
