I don't understand the narrative of the post. Does it matter that he barely qualified?
Most international prelims are going to go exactly like this. He looked relaxed and waited till the final 25meters to make his move. Yes, this indoor season has been a rollercoaster, but Engels is historically very good at prelims.
Yes. I see what you are saying but there were only 3 guys of note in the final heat. Everyone else was crap.
So if you run 3:42 and are top 3 you were guaranteed to go. 100%. Or you can try to outkick the guy from Morocco and Wightman - the 4th and 6th seeds in the entire thing.
It's the ultimate game of Russian roulette. No one wants to set the pace. I imagine the moroccan t hought he could outkick engels as well. So now he's sitting at home.

Rogers needs to learn to run on the rail. She ran most of that baby in lane 2.

For what? Is there any honest effort rule. There shouldn't be. WHy wouldn't she just DNS.
Wambui gave Nyonsaba way too big a lead there even though she got through as a fastest loser.
At all competitions under Rules 1.1(a), (b), (c) and (f), an athlete
shall be excluded from participation in all further events (including
other events in which he is simultaneously participating) in the
competition, including relays, in cases where:
(a) a final confirmation was given that the athlete would start in an
event but then failed to participate;
Note: A fixed time for the final confirmation of participation
shall be published in advance.
(b) an athlete qualified in any Qualification Round of an event for
further participation in that event but then failed to participate
further;
(c) an athlete failed to compete honestly with bona fide effort. The
relevant Referee will decide on this and the corresponding
reference must be made in the official results.
Note: The situation foreseen in Rule 142.4(c) will not apply to
individual events within Combined Events.

Apparently, both these blokes made the women's final.

Wambui is an official DQ in the results.
I watched heat 3 again. Nothing jumps out at me. She must have stepped on the line in the first half of the first turn as she definitely didn't do it ion the 2nd half of the 1st turn. She never stepped over the rail and there never was any contact with anyone.

The BBC broadcast replayed it fairly clear, on the first turn she stepped inside her lane with her outside foot

Really? Well, only one bloke in the women's final then. Good news - at the last world's it was 3 (and, not coincidentally, 3 medallists). Ajee Wilson and the other women now have a decent chance for some hardware.

Wilson medalled last year though...
Wow. Hep finish is going to be exceptional. Kevin Meyer just missed at 5.20 in vault.
Meyer leads by only 34 points entering the 1k as a result.
https://twitter.com/AthleticsWeekly/status/969913849779490821
That's about 3 seconds in the 1k.
On the BBC, they said Meyer's pbis 3 seconds slower than Warner's but I can't confirm that. I'm only seeing one hep result for Warner in his career. How can that be when he's from Canada? Anyway, Tilastapaja says they both have run 2:37.

That's exactly what I thought. One less dude in the race.

And just as I predicted the 3rd heat will get 5 qualifiers almost certainly. If it doesn't go out in 58, they are idiots.
Rojo’s hate for the NOP and Engels is comical. Is Engels strong enough to run a 3:39 pace up front on his own (that’s what it would have to take after a slow first 200 to see if anyone takes it) in his first WC? Maybe, maybe not.
Engels got the qualifier, made the team, made the WC final. If he’s gotten bad advice along the way, then he shouldn’t ask for the good advice.
