Kipyegon literally put Tsegay in an arm bar. Can’t do that. This is track not wrestling.

That's pathetic. At least Tsegay, her and her husband's mechanizations having had all kinds of negative effects on the Ethiopian team, didn't win.
Congrats to Chebet! Kipyegon deserved the silver. Kipyegon will always be the GOAT and Tsegay will be another kind of goat.
I just turned on the TV to watch the final lap, was so happy for her. Then I saw the part, Tsegay was pushing and cutting around, she was js defending her spot. How is that a dq?!
This post was removed.
How did Tsegays arm even get in a position for that to happen? Just take a deep breath and ask yourself that question. This is absurd.
Tsegay cutting in after the fact was so much worse than whatever arm jostling
Dear Robert, I see you are applying some discretion here. But track officials and judges aren't that well-experienced as you and so they simply apply the rulebook in a child-like manner you feeling me???????
It's proving a bad, bad night for El K and the Kenyans. No wonder he's not posting.
You write in a child-like manner.
Correct, a 10/10 for your words of wisdom, dear Steve!!!
Justice for Faith. **** World Athletics.
The worst ruling i have seen in my lifetime.

You realize the gold medal still went to Kenya?
Answer is obvious wrote:

I also think the officials penalize Faith for possibly scolding vulgarities and shouting at the top of her voice at Tsegay????
Look at the race replay again, Faith's mouth was WIDE OPENED and her face strained with much sound energy!!!!!! She clearly blurted out something......
She was avaiding line infringement…how is that dq

More a good night for Keely though I was unimpressed with Moraa’s heavily passive race. She gets silver with a more aggressive race imo.
But all 3 through to Steeple (despite Serem drama), gold medal in 5,000 at least, and Were avoiding repachage means not really bad at all. Caudery and Bradshaw getting bounced means it’s bittersweet for the Brits though? They did get two into the 200m final albeit not looking like medalists.
No, that's incorrect, community antidoping policing is good for the sport.
It's better that Steve and I call out who is doping straight up rather than beat around the bush and be long winded about it. Just get straight to the point, A is doping and B is a drug cheat, simple as ABC!!!! We would know who the dopers are by our patented analytic tools right????
Should not be a DQ. Terrible call.
She defended her position as she was being cut off.
It only looked bad because the offending runner embellished and hooked her hand.
It’s just like an NBA player or NFL player trying to draw a call.
It did not affect how the race finished.
The appeal should hold up.
Do not embarrass the sport with this, France.

Tsegay was in the wrong. Note to Elle St Pierre Ms That's my rail. Better be careful as your reputation proceeds you.
