In the US I'd be worried about lawsuits if I set a finish chute like that.
Oh no! I bet even the following runner in the green shirt got wind knocked out of her..
Yeah, actually the following runner (Betty Ann Bjerkreim Nilsen, Hausken's teammate in their gold-medal WOC '09 relay team) was the one left lying there and had to be helped to the finish, while Hausken got up and kept going.
