At the very end of the 400-meter final Monday, Miller and Felix were neck-and-neck until the Bahamian jumped as if there was a pool on the track.

Social media quickly erupted in chatter, with many questioning whether the dive was legal.

Former Olympian Lolo Jones tweeted: "America we have won medals off of dives, so please have more class."

Jones also defended Miller in a series of tweets:
