Mr. Yalowitz made a good choice having Donald run the anchor leg of the race?

Definitely not, Yalowitz put Donald in a position where he would once again be singled out. Note, he did it for good reasons, but the end result wasn't worth it. Mr. Yalowitz puts Zinkoff, despite his clumsiness, in position to be tagged off as the fourth leg of the hop-on-one-foot race, and although Gary Hobin gives him a generous lead, Zinkoff is too uncoordinated, losing the race for the purple team. Hobin and the others, in turn, blame Zinkoff for the loss of the medals they could have won.
