well it's top 5 plus next 2 fastest. so it would be impossible for leo to make it

I don't think Lomong will make it either. He got passed by 2 people at the end including Willis.
No way he can make the final. 2 fastest make it, right now he's number 3
O'Hare in, looks like with the slow heat, Lomong and Leo out.

Manzano 8th 3:43
Probably not good enough to make final.
5+5 and the two fastest losers so Manzano is out.
Willis in with a chance.
The Kenyans looked so relaxed and strong.
if he was 8th, then he is gone. it's top 5 plus next 2.
How the hell was O'Hare not able to hold it together in outdoors? I guess this is more important.

If the second heat is run at an honest pace at all, Manzano goes home.
According to the IAAF site, Manzano finished 8th so he is going home. Lomong and Willis are the 2 that are praying for a slow 2nd heat finishing at 3:43.79 and 3:43.80
Was Lomong 6th? Looked it. He was in a great position all race but doesn't have the kick needed for a top-level 1500m runner.
Manzano looked lost out there.
Was Lopez 6 or 7? I couldn't confirm.
Lomong 6th. Pretty much out unless there's a pileup in the second semi.

Yes, Lomong 6th.
