Kaki done nothing wrong, he was pushed out infront of Wheating.

Kaki did not continue running so as to not impede other runners, and then he through a fit and stopping Wheating cold.

Wheating shoulda knocked him out like a linebacker.

And Robinson should never be allowed to Rabbit again.

Can anyone remember more of a ClusterFvck rabbiting display in the past.

Robinson is a shameful embarrassment...

Robinson has been a fantastic rabbit this season. Granted, this was a major screw up, but if considering the body of work, then you have to say KD is very good.

Shouldn't a rabbit who is leading step to the inside of the track?????

After Robinson blocked the leaders a chain reaction started forcing some guys to go round wide. Kaki was really unlucky and I understand his disappointment because he was most affected by Robinsons' action. BUT: Deciding 20 or more meters after the intial incident to stop running in the middle of the race compromised other runners' chances to finish well. That was a poor move by Kaki.

Didn't see the race.

Sounds like KD moved to the outside.

I never understood why some rabbits move to the outside to stop.

I think it is more effective to hug the rail and let them follow on your oustide shoulder.

If you slow they pass you on the outside just like you were a normal competitor and they don't have far to go around.

Step over the rail and get out of the way.

If you fade to the right you run the risk of the field already being up on you and guessing which way you will go. Too far to go around and not enough room to squeeze by inside if they are already up on the rabbit.

Plus there is almost a mental slingshot effect of passing someone as opposed to them just peeling to the outside and disappearing.

Tell that to the guys whos jobs and dreams are on the line.

Personally, I don't want to ride in a taxi when the driver has a bad day.

He should be fined for this, not payed. Or if payed, get some of that money deducted.

Even on a bad day KD should be able to take them through 400 in faster than 51 mid. That was embarrassing enough, and then he compounded that by getting in the way at 600. More than a bad day, I'd say.

Lopes won the 100h...unless i am going blind.

Yes it's terrible but there aren't many rabbits in the world who can run 1:45 leading from start to finish as KD did in the Prefonataine Classic 1000m. Unless that changes overnight then KD's going to have a job because there just aren't many people who can rabbit reliably most of the time and the ones who can usually want to race.

I've never seen a rabbit interfere with a race so badly. I imagine he'll actually have to start racing again, because his rabbiting career is probably done after that.

Yep, exactly.

Robinson screwed up the entire race, got to be one of the top 3 rabbit screw ups of all time...

For those who did not see the race, Wheating did not run from the back for once...he was going for it...and then the race went surreal...

It was indeed poor rabitting by KD. However, if I remember correctly, it was also some unfortunate coincidence that Lewandowski was moving up really close to KD on the inside, which caused him to move towards lane 2 just when Kaki was trying to pass him on the outside. At this point, there was no chance for KD to quit the race without affecting anyone's stride. Thus, KD should have gone faster till 600m or dropped out earlier after 550m or so.

Im not sure if it works outside Sweden, but give it a try.
