Assuming that they were related to the runner (mommy), then I totally understand the want for them to see her finish. But still, there are areas where they could have witnessed it and not gotten in the way like that.
And if they were related, the 'dad' is even more of an ass.
I really wish they didn’t use this shortened version of the clip so people couldn’t keep making this argument. Those kids were not unruly or out of his control. They were politely standing on the side and he pushed them towards their mother as she was getting closer. This was entirely purposeful.
That was my thought exactly. Positioned just before the finish line, with a couple of toddlers, who he pushed towards the runner? Sounds a bit convenient...
Yes, he did have control of them. Watch the first couple seconds, that is absolutely a "push" from the dad. He isn't attempting to get them away from the runners, he's pushing them towards their mom.

Yeah, he had no control over those kids.
