I think the opposite. Sekgodiso was at fault. She looked very nervous and uncomfortable before the race started
Agree! Sekgodiso bumped into Mu twice before and the 3rd bump did the trick. She did it to herself. OP should have watched the entire replay before posting.
It would be unsound jurisprudence to weigh these extraneous factors into a decision about the current case. Sekgodiso's pre-race demeanor is immaterial. Likewise, any earlier incidents provide no insight into the tripping under current analysis. The incident starts with Mu running in lane 2, with Sekgodiso running in lane 1, and with the strides of the two overlapping in longitudinal distance. Under such conditions, it is the responsibility of both runners to maintain their current lane position unless movement can be made without obstructing another runner. It is Mu who violated her responsibility, squeezing from lane 2 into lane 1 in a manner that caused a collision with Sekgodiso. It is this analysis on which I based my opinion.
Looks to me like Mu was clearly in font and the other athlete ran up on her. Also Mu got clipped from behind one or two other times from that same runner or someone else. I would’ve been irritated if I was Mu.
I thought the OP was a troll.
Then I watched the video. Mu was clearly running lane 2, then suddenly comes into lane 1 and goes down. This isn't something I'd DQ for but I"d definitely advance the other runner.
The op is a troll. Mu was on the outside of lane 1. And someone was in the inside of lane 1. Trying to squeeze in is at your own peril.

Mu was completely in lane 1 up until 450m. At 450m, her right foot is on the line while her left foot in still in lane 1. She never gave up her lane 1 position. You need glasses if you can’t see this.
Mickey Moe is like Mary Decker, she thinks she owns the whole track and just barges in. Also how she stomps off and pouts after the incident. Exactly how Decker would act. You can bet if Moe had failed to q they would've greased her through anyhow.
Mu runs on the line regardless if lane one is open or there are several people are there. It makes no sense in either case. She doesn't seem to grasp that.

Sekgodiso had established clear running position, and Mu squeezed in on her.
At 4:28 + 1/30, Mu planted her left foot in Sekgodiso's path. This caused a minor collision of legs, Mu's left with Sekgodiso's right leg, at 4:28 + 6/30. That minor collision cause Mu to trip herself at 4:28 + 13/30 as she brought her left foot into her right calf. That shortened her left stride and her next left foot plant at 4:28 + 20/30 was deep within lane #1, directly in front of Sekgodiso.
Sekgodiso was without fault and should have protested and should have advanced to the final.
My take: Sekgodiso moved up in to a gap that wasn't there, essentially Mu's blindspot, not accounting for Mu's extremely long backkick. Mu is just a hard runner to run around because her backkick is twice as long as average. Hard to say who caused the contact, but Mu did not move in until she was hit in the foot by Sekgodiso's thigh. The next stride is what takes Sekgodiso out. I say no fault to either.

Watching it in regular speed, one gets the impression that Mu had some split-second conflict as to whether she was going to sell the fall or save the race.
