Imagine at some dual meet if a kid running 5 minutes in the 1600 pulls that crap? Even his own coach would support a DQ.
Who are you? What are you talking about?
It's' called "Big Boy" racing. Chelimo didn't "impede" anyone. He didn't "cut off" anyone, and made no "contact" with anyone. He's allowed to run as wide as he wants...as is anyone else. If Fisher and or Kincaid cut back inside and Chelimo responded by cutting back inside, THEN you have grounds to protest due to Chelimo's "intent" to "impede". If you watch the finish, Chelimo simply "drifted" wide to "legally" move both Fisher and Kincaid wide so as to make it more difficult for them to pass. Fisher and or Kincaid should of either cut back inside or RUN FASTER on the outside.
Have you raced much or at all?
