Meh you could also argue that had he not cut it that close/step on the line, they never would have been able to finish in 3rd in the first place.
In my head, I could easily see that exact scenario - Ranked 11th coming in and finishing in a surprising 4th. Commentators would have said what a pleasant surprise it was, good building block for 2016, focus on the Jamaican time, how the US beat the old record but still lost, etc. Instead, it's just the crushing story of thinking you won a medal and then not.
