What a run. He's clearly the best 800 guy in the world right now. But should/will he be DQd?

Oh yeah because he gained such an advantage from it

Same question crossed my mind but rule 163 addresses this when it comes to an athlete being pushed or forced. I am going with tripping falling into this category. The officials must have figured he did not gain an advantage (which seems like the right call). Pretty funny how the announcers were ragging on the officials in Birmingham!
From USATF rule book. (Is IAAF rule different)?
Each competitor must keep in the lanes outside the line or curb marking the inside of the
track, including the curved part of the diversion from the track for the steeplechase water
jump. In races run entirely in lanes, each competitor must keep in the allotted lane from
start to finish. In races run partially in lanes, each competitor must keep in the allotted
lane from the start to the marked cut-in points. Unless a material advantage has been
gained or the athlete is in violation of Rule 163.4, a competitor shall not be disqualified
if he or she:
(a) Is pushed or forced by another competitor to step out of the lane, or
(b) Steps out of the lane on the straightaway, or
(c) Steps or runs outside of the outer lane line on the curve, or on any straight part of
the diversion from the track for the steeplechase water jump.
Excluding the above exceptions, the Referee shall disqualify a competitor if material
advantage is gained.
NOTE: Material advantage includes improving position by any means, including
exiting from a 'boxed' position in the race by having stepped or run inside the inside
edge of the track.
6. Leaving Track, Field or
IAAF
IAAF rule:
An athlete shall not be disqualified if he
(a) is pushed or forced by another person to step or run outside his
lane or on or inside the kerb or line marking the applicable
border, or
(b) steps or runs outside his lane in the straight, any straight part of
the diversion from the track for the steeplechase water jump or
outside the outer line of his lane on the bend,
with no material advantage thereby being gained and no other athlete
being jostled or obstructed so as to impede his progress. If material
advantage is gained, the athlete shall be disqualified.
Looks like the same rule.
I will say good no call by the officials. His being tripped probably offset the small gain in distance from running for 6 strides very close to the rail but on the outside. Anyone want to do the math on how much shorter than 6m (estimate of 1m/step) is?
Il y a une vidéo téléchargée par l'un de nous ...
I watch korir come back from tripping and win. And then American Sara Vaughn gets tripped and she quits. What a difference in having a winning attitude.
No way he should be DQd. It was like at 10000 world's final when they hit Mo Farah and he step inside but won the gold.
Amos just went straight into Korir , he hit Korir leg from back , my mind tell me that everytime this thing happen
most of time the guy hit from back just knows what he's doing. I will be more extreme saying, Amos should be DQd!!
And I m so happy Korir beat Amos after that bad kick.
And watching the race at slow motion , I can see that the contact is between Amos left knee, leg and Korir right shoe.
But this happened cos Korir was pushed more or less by Amos (Korir was already in first lane and ahead of Amos , then at 600
Amos "jumped " more or less from second to first lane directly into Korir and there is when the unavoidable contact happened
I'd say no because it wasn't his fault and he gained no advantage.
Not only did he gain no advantage, he had to regain speed so when he cane back in he did not slam into and “disadvantage” others. It was like a polite reentry while stumbling after being tripped into the infield, all at high speed. Impressive, no advantage gained (lucky he did not sustain muscle injury in such a twist), and cordial. :)

"Have You Ever Seen This Happen To A Guy At The 600-Meter Mark Of An 800 Where He Came Back To Win?"
Look up Heather Dorniden at the Big 10 Indoors. Flat on her face with 200 to go in the 600m and came back to win.

The real issue was the lousy pace making duties. I saw this multiple times yesterday. If your a paid pace maker, do your job and get the hell out of the way. Clogging lanes, re-inserting yourself into the pack and such ilk only shortens the perception you're up to the task. With contact being made, at that specific point, the pace maker opened himself up for second guessing on what the hell he was doing there in the first place.
I say rules or not, let the best athlete in each race win. Korir is clearly a level above this field so he should be allowed to win.
Clearly Amos should have been dq'd for cutting in on Korir without a step to spare.
He's the winner.....of the 799.5m

Yes I agree. They shouldn't even run the race just hold a letsrun poll to decide the winner

I think you confused the two runners in green jerseys. The pace maker was way ahead of the pack and got out of the way.

But "miraculous"??? Hardly. Let's save such superlatives for races like Heather Dornidens'.
