American runner loses bronze medal after celebrating too early.

An American distance runner lost a bronze medal after one of those all-too-common cringe worthy moments in track events: She celebrated too early.

Molly Huddle lost to fellow American Emily Infield in the 10,000 meter race at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing on Monday — a moment she said was  “painful to watch.”

“Emily slipped on the inside as I eased up a little bit. She had this once-in-a-lifetime moment. I feel like it kind of slipped through my fingers. … The Olympics are typically a hard race, not a tactical one, so this probably won’t ever come around again.”
