No, he didn't. El Bakkali was way more than an arm length wide on the outside. Girma clipped the steeple hard with his trailing leg, and it looked like he was out cold before he hit the ground.
I don’t know why but this was way more exciting to me than Hocker winning. The balls on Rooks!
Girma looked unconscious.
Hocker was at least given an outside chance by SOME track commentators and hardcore fans who had a clear understanding of how it could happen. Very few if anyone saw this playing out as it did. "The Move" by Rooks should go down in history. Balls.

Reminded me of Mackays move from indoors, very decisive.
I don't know why, but I was laughing all the way through that final lap when Rooks took the lead. I thought he'd completely burgled the gold. Amazing run from him, but El Bakkali is inevitable, the steeple GOAT
