This is the hilarious moment a marathon runner celebrates her win too soon and loses first place to her rival.

The incident occurred in Chongqing, China, on Sunday, March 23.

Footage shows runner Xiao Fen in the lead as she and eventual winner Gan Zhifang sprinted towards the finish line.

As the race's end neared, Xiao raised her arms in celebration and slowed down, allowing Gan to speed past and cross the line first.

Xiao expressed her disappointment and told local media that despite finishing second just fractions of a second behind Gan, she regretted letting her guard down too soon.

She also mentioned that she was still happy with her personal best performance in the competition.
