German marathon runners and twin sisters Anna and Lisa Hahner finished their Olympic race in Rio holding hands and crossing the finish line together, placing 81st and 82nd. It was a touching moment, despite their poor placement. However, some commentators expressed outrage and disgust that neither sister attempted to press for an advantage with the director of the German Athletics Federation saying their aim was to gain media attention rather than compete. On Facebook, the sisters said the performance was not what they hoped for, but crossing the finish line was one of their greatest sporting moments.
