Answer to the riddle

I know I didn't wait very long but here's the answer to the riddle. It's pretty obscure.

Zeno won. The other competitors were a pair of docs and never crossed the finish line!

If you don't understand the reference, here's a link that will help. It's a reference to Zeno's dichotomy (race course) paradox.

Note: The answer also could have been that no one won since Zeno proposed the paradox and never would have crossed the finish line either!

By the way, I gave my answer before reading your answer. Just in case you thought I was getting out of touch with the world.
