I understand why the race adopted the structure that they adopted. But I expect that it didn't even occur to whomever was looking at the results that s/he should look at the non-elite results, too, and so they simply missed her time. And then, when the mistake was pointed out, they covered their asses instead of admitting a mistake. They didn't want to have to try to get the trophies back from the "winners." I can't believe it wasn't as simple as that. The result is post hoc rationalization.
