Especially Cheptegai, since he was lapped and so should have been DQ'd for interfering with the rest of race race - Fisher to silver, Ahmed to Bronze.. This Mark Lee guy was adamant, so he couldn't be wrong. No one could be THAT stupid.
How many times are you going to say the same thing that didn’t happen?
as Wejo never thought he'd say "I never thought I'd say that I thought Fisher could win it" as Wejo also thought--but didn't think he's say--"this is his chance"
as i never thought i'd say this: as I never thought wejo would say that
Ya think? On the last lap(!) the pack had to go around a lane 1 turtle. I actually think there should be a rule in champs that you must move out (if possible) or you get DQ. Lapped runners are literally a hazard.
I think they should just stay where they are.
It's not a world record attempt and there is too much risk for a fatigued lapped runner to veer across the track and take someone out. Just let them stay where they are and the faster athletes passing them can take the correct line.

I'm not sure what they should do. It seemed like some lapped runners were moving out to lane 3, maybe, would have to re-watch, but it was creating a narrow corridor for the leaders to run through which was just not ideal. I think it would have been less hazardous if they'd just stayed in lane 1 on this occasion. If they're going to move out, based on this race, they should be in lane 4, and I agree that asking a runner in an extreme state of fatigue to move out several lanes is hazardous not only for them but for everyone.
Also, maybe it should be more difficult to qualify for this race.
