If Ingebrigsten hadn't become blinded my blocking Kerr, where would he have finished? 3rd or 4th?

Hocker doesnt medal without lane 1. Blocking Kerr pushing him outwas plan A; letting Hocker through gave him 4m, that was plan B. Ask yourself:If Kerr wins gold, is anybody still insisting the best 1500 runner is from Norway?

If Jingy stayed inside and faded as he did, Hocker takes the widening gap between Jingy and Kerr. Result unchanged. At the absolute worst, it would have been a photo finish for 1,2,3 of Kerr, Hocker, Neguse. No scenario exists where Hocker does not pass Jingy with his kick in Paris.
