That was actually great to see. She was so incredibly overjoyed.
I mean, she already had the gold medal... but she seemed far more determined to set the world record than anything else.
I did notice that a fan threw her two flags, one with the three strips that she wrapped around herself, and the other was fully red, which she threw back at the guy. I was thinking... did the guy toss a U.S.S.R. flag? I can't imagine....
