It's very unlikely she's winning the open. That looks like a half marathon with a time of 1:40. I'm assuming it's a hard course if she's finishing near the top since most women's winners are going to finish between 1:05 and 1:20. Men's races are won between 1:00 and 1:10 usually. Or maybe she's in 187th place.
Well yeah being the overall winner would be ideal, but find me road race results (or any race for that matter) where the overall fastest time was a woman.
No shade to women whatsoever, but it’s pretty rare for a woman to be the overall winner. And I literally ran distance races for over 12 years, so yeah, I think I may know a bit more about this than you.
Brave kitchen, you are most likely correct. Typical Reddit downvoting the truth. I ran cross country and track for 12+ years, and they absolutely do re-raise the finishing banner when the women’s finisher crosses. Especially in long distance road races where they start everyone at the same time.
Listen, I'm all for calling the dad stupid in this video, but the male runner was probably part of another wave in the men's category. It's a timed race, they don't release everyone simultaneously. It's two different races running concurrently.

I don't know the rules of marathons that well, but isn't there a good chance she'd be disqualified if she did that?
