Within two or three yards of the finish line, Reynolds collapsed [ ... ]
“I said, ‘Are you O.K., and do you want to finish?’ ” said Brian Weaver, the official. “She said ‘Yes,’ and I said, ‘O.K., all you have to do is get your foot across the line, and you don’t have to get up, it’s O.K. if you crawl.’ ”
Reynolds started crawling.[ ... ] Tracy said, “It took over 20 seconds for her to crawl two yards.”
Reynolds said she did not remember collapsing but did remember crawling: “All I knew was that I had to cross the line.”

The video is quite something.
