Joe Gough held the lead and the inside lane going into the last lap, only David Roy Wilcock followed as they separated from the pack. Coming off the final turn, Wilcock went wide into lane 2 and outsprinted Gough. As he saw Wilcock passing him, Gough gave it all he had and dove for the finish line, dramatically falling to the track in second place. Oleksandr Lysenko was able to gain a slight edge on the final lap to get bronze out of a tight finish for third.

gollark: It's done, though I can't figure out how to make the search bar have `width: 100%` and `margin: 1em` without overflowing.
gollark: I'm going for fuzzy search; I managed to write very simple F# bindings for a JS library for it, and it seems relatively simple to implement.
gollark: Should I bother with fuzzy search or just do (the equivalent of) string.find?
gollark: You can just write this one line shellscript:`./summarise.py | ./discord.py`
gollark: It's a different thing, though.
