Ethiopian runner Senbere Teferi looked to be mere seconds away from defending her Peachtree Road Race title. That is, until she took a wrong turn just before the finish line.
Ethiopian runner That is, until she took a wrong turn just before the finish line. The first three competitors of the women’s elite division of the Peachtree Road Race, a 10-kilometer race held annually in Atlanta on July 4, were approaching the finish line when Teferi, the 2022 champion, had the lead. But with just meters to go, Teferi, who was following a lead vehicle, took a right turn, running off course.
The wrong turn also cost Teferi in prize money. The winner of the race earns $10,000, while second place receives $5,000 and third place gets $3,000. Tesfay was asked through a translator about those final meters. “I was really upset by Senbere’s mistake because she was in the front and she was leading, but she took that last turn,” Tesfay said. “I saw the finish line. At first I thought they didn’t really show us that well yesterday where the finish was.
