yeah, she did that on purpose. And the terrible video trying to excuse it doesnt help.
She trying to claim she was just trying to finish her stride, but she held the arm up and took 2 steps on the turn before the swing, and then hit the girl, and then the baton arm was still in the air 2-3 steps after, while the girl who got hit fell off the track.
Sorry, she did that shyt on purpose. No way out of that one.
