To me, the takedown was pretty much cut and dried. It seemed apparant watching the race live.
I see your point Andy. The first time I watched it, I thought that the 3 was going to blow by all of them (hence the 2 not having a shot to win). After watching it again, I realized that the 2 actually had the jump on the 3, but she was actually steadied first (which I didn't see the first time) and then she was checked by Garcia taking her out totally.
So I stand corrected, not only did it cost her 2nd it cost her a chance to win the race.
