Sunday in the women’s marathon, when the German twins and training partners Anna and Lisa Hahner decided — spontaneously, they insist — to join hands as they crossed the finish line deep in the pack and far from the medals, they quickly drew sharp criticism.
German track and field officials accused them of publicity seeking and treating the Olympic marathon “like a fun run.”

Your thoughts? Is it endearing to see siblings finish together? Or is it making light of the competition and just seeking attention?
I tend to be optimist and think they train together and happened to be close to one another and given finish 81st and 82nd decided to finish together. Honestly the controversy seems to get more headlines than the act itself.
