Yeah I feel like there wouldn't be as much respect. One of my favorite parts about the show is the sportsmanship and respect everyone has for one another. I was really disappointed when >!miracle!< pushed the guy in front of him. Really felt like it tarnished the idea of the competition for me

I watched it a few times and I realised he didn't really push the guy. He was diving for the torch. Split second race and he already planned when to leap for the torch. Which ended up looking like he was pushing

Think you need to rewatch the scene, it was 100% a push and not a dive. He's directly behind him with both arms out aiming for his lower back, it was a deliberate sabotage of the competition
