Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3245182, member: 6911"] When I ran cross country in high school, holding hands with your teammate as you crossed the line (presuming you were winning) was seen as an act of team spirit. Way back when, there was an incredible team of cross country runners in Maryland's B-CC High School. I recall seeing five B-CC runners crossing the line in a line holding hands. They were that good. This seems really silly. The two runners weren't holding anyone back, they weren't in danger of changing qualifying standards. They seem to have just been friends and revealing that sense of team cohesion. Seems like another really dumb ruling from an Olympic organization that chronically makes dumb decisions. [/QUOTE]
