Jemima Montag pulled off a gutsy win in the race walk by letting teammate Lizzy McMillen lead for nearly 23 of 25 laps — a move McMillen called “tough” under windy conditions, as she’d been doing all the heavy lifting. But Montag defended her “selfish” strategy, saying individual sports demand personal execution — even if it meant going solo at the finish. The same tactic played out in the men’s race, where gold medalist Isaac Beacroft let a rival lead before striking late. While Australia secured its coveted one-two-three finish, each athlete’s unique plan unfolded differently on race day — proving that winning sometimes means being willing to go it alone.
