A runner/ jogger used the street instead of sidewalk

This morning while driving through town I met a runner/jogger I couldn't tell for sure running on the wrong side of the street in the center of my small New England town (~20,000). We have brand new poured concrete sidewalks 5-6 feet wide. It was 6 am so there was not a soul on the sidewalk but...

How do you feel about the dive across the finish line?

I am shocked the IOC allowed that to stand. Now will every runner have it in her/his mind that they might need to dive across the line to win? Are we going to see running diving as a norm? Maybe it should be a new sport.
