The official trying to tear off her number isn't a runner; he's the guy in black shoes with his head barely poking above her right shoulder. The runner to her right in the photo looks like he's pushing her, but he's pushing the official.

Yes, the other two guys - with numbers - are her spouse (directly behind her) and her trainer (behind him). The official previously has knocked down her trainer in a prior attempt.

I’m referring to the person trying to tear off her number so she’d be disqualified.
