Baala will get into the final for sure. Was completely tripped 100% the fault of the guy behind him. He would have easily been in the top 5. Wheating.. something is wrong there. Willis looked great in the first heat.
Bad spot

Wheating has no shot at getting in. 4 faster in the first heat and at least 2 in his. All the time spots are already gone with one heat to go.

Baala appeal or not won't affect that.
try this from earlier

the face of Wheating was sheer pain coming down the homestretch. in the slo mo you can see him almost yell. somethings not 100%, he's still hurt.

BUT, he isn't out yet, right now he's through to the semis HOWEVER heat 3 hasnt run yet!

He looked like he did at USA's, running in the second lane the whole time.


And as a big dude, he had to go to lane 3 to try to get around most of the field on the last turn. Just too much.

Yea, not sure if Wheating's tactic of running 15 meters long than everybody by hanging out in lane 2 is such a great idea.

I am guessing that Wheating's hammy injury was worse that advertised and is still bothering him or he had to spend enough time off the track to lose his sharpness. WC is no place to hope for the best (i.e. see Huddles race) when you are not in top shape.

Shame - it would have been great to see him in 3:31 shape. Hopefully next year.

Agreed. He could have qualified if he ran on the rail. But he wasn't going to go far anyway. He is clearly over his head -- at least for now.

Who would like to explain to Manzano that you don't have to spend the entire race in lane 2.
What's the added distance with 48" lanes?
If he doesn't qualify, it will be because he ran 1538 meters ......

Leo got mixed up in a lot of contact and got hammered with 300 to go. He a small dude, running in lane 2 isn't really a bad tactic for a guy who's gonna get banged around. On the flipside, Wheating was nearly lane 3 for much of his race. He's the big dude that all the scrawny guys are gonna bounce off.

I agree with the poster who said Wheating is prob still hurt. He wasn't himself at all.
