Here's another screenshot, this time from FR24 (again to be viewed with caution), which shows a rather different picture from the above:
Examination of the data would suggest that reality lay somewhere between those two extremes.
To add to this:

According to the raw data received from the Mode-S transponders from both aircraft:

- at 18:04:04 EK-568 had already passed the hold short line M5A but was still short of the runway edge at position N25.2576 E55.3616
- at 18:04:05 EK-524 had reached 102 knots over ground at position N25.2500 E55.3767 while accelerating on runway 30R.
- at 18:04:15 EK-568 was at position N25.2582 E55.3620 crossing the runway centerline
- at 18:04:19 EK-568 had crossed the other runway edge and was now on taxiway N4 between runway edge and hold short line N4 at position N25.2586 E55.3623
- at 18:04:24 EK-524 had slowed to 24 knots over ground again at position N25.2537 E55.3702
