Fyi, nobody in the 1500 was DQed, despite the general brawl that race was.

what happened to Yego on his 5th throw, came up a R, hopes he's ok
NBC Live Stream announcer just said "Always good to remember the first leg is the longest of any leg, for whatever reason that may be."
Saw him in a wheelchair, then they zoomed in on his ankle, which was cut up. Perhaps he spiked himself after his throw? (when they do that falling-down thing)
Hey, we just got another gold in the women's 4x400.
They were disqualified for stepping over the rail. Not for pushing. A bunch of idiots on here that have no idea what they're taking about. Although can't blame them if they get their information from NBC.
3:19 for the U.S to win.
Worried that US will get DQ'ed in 4 x 4 because of IAAF Rule 9.8: must be random DQ's that ruin people's lives even though violation had no impact on results.
I didn't notice where they stepped over the rail, but am pleased they didn't dq for the contact I saw.

Chelimo was told by NBC correspondent that he was dq'd for the contact with just over 100 to go. If he was wrong NBC should never be allowed to air any sporting event again. EVER.
It's been 30 minutes since the end of the High Jump and they can't be bothered to replace the rail for 4x4?

I was basing it on the shoves, didn't see the rail stepover. Anyways, not like stepping over the rails for a couple steps actually matters when you are meters ahead of the others at the finish.
Officials fancy themselves as part of the show. They're not.
It's early here in Kenya and unfortunately I slept through most of this: 3:50??? Kiprop is an idiot. That is all.
Seb Coe talking to the 1500 medalists. Wow.

Oh no, Centro didn't but his hand over his heart for the playing of the National Anthem during his medal ceremony. Look out for those calling him un-American.

Now you know how we feel with all these global championships in the eastern hemisphere!
Also., I will admit, I think the USA does have a pretty decent national anthem. Has quite a bit of pep. Maybe I'm biased.

During M 5K final curb was missing for W HJ. Looks like the 3 DQ'd athletes stepped on the line. DQ under rule 163.3b, lane infringement.
And then Nick Willis touched him with his go-to hand.
