Unbelievable! I've often heard coaches and athletes say you must continue running right past the tape.
Seeing the videos below that, apparently that type of mistake is not unusual.

Our coach always stressed that the finish line was 10 yards past the one marked on the track.

The entire series suggests that many athletes these days are "glory hogs". Celebrating their prowess often to the detriment of their performance. I also see this in many popular performers who seem to be saying "look at me" rather than "behold the piece being performed".

It seems like we are seeing more "selfies" these days.

The taking of the "selfies" is not what irritates me. What does is their appearance instantly, worldwide.
