I think the rules said if there's two left and one quits or didn't finish the last one needs to run one more lap to win. So USA wins at 97 hrs because both Belgium runner stopped at the same time at 108hrs of running.
I don't understand deciding to stop together. Is it a gesture of solidarity? Did they both just happen to hit their personal limit at the same time? I've never done the BYU format, can someone explain?
