While it's nice to read about barefooters winning races, it's unfortunate they still say this is a poverty issue and assume she would have done better with shoes. "... won the race despite running barefoot - for her family couldn't afford to buy her running shoes." And later " She is now participating in the state-level event with proper dress and shoes". :(
