If you need a case study for “don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” this is it. Watching a runner celebrate as if the trophy is already on his mantel only to be effortlessly passed by someone who kept their head down is equal parts hilarious and cringe-inducing. Apparently, the finish line is a requirement, not a suggestion.
