Wrong turn before finish line costs Olympian thousands in prize money

• Senbere Teferi finishes third in 10k race after last-minute error
• Ethiopian runner represented nation at Rio and Tokyo Olympics

A wrong turn cost Ethiopian runner Senbere Teferi the win in the Peachtree Road Race on Tuesday.

Teferi appeared seconds away from defending her title in the 10km race held annually in Atlanta on the Fourth of July. But the 28-year-old, who was trailing a police motorcycle, followed the vehicle off course when it took a right turn.
