Prediction? He's still running in the final.
As expected, they didn't have the stones to apply the rules.

True..... BUT lets think of the future of the sport here. He didn't push anyone.
Chance a 19 yr old white kid could win? be great for the sport.... much publicity!
^This. We are talking about the IAAF here! Politics >> rules.

Ah yes, the firm rule that says "a runner bumped in a race who takes an incidental footstep in the infield must be disqualified."
Jakob literally did nothing wrong. I fear that the stress from this whole fiasco will impact his concentration and performances.
I honestly want the Ingebrigtsens to come home with no medals. The premature release of "How to raise a World Champion" makes the whole family come off as cocky and the whole thing feels like a science experiment by their dad . Tweaking the recipe with each boy and hoping to find out the right way to do it with Jakob. With his attitude I wouldn't be surprised if a whole boatload of grey area "doping" was going on behind the scenes in their family.

He instigated a bump. He ran multiple steps inside the rail. He gained an advantage by doing so. He literally broke the rules.

He forced his way on the inside and then ran inside the rail.
Agreed. He is a spoiled Euro Brat.

Letter of the law vs spirit of the law.

Did nothing wrong? Yes he did. He tried to pass on the isnide when there was no room to do so. I cut out the earlier part of the video.

Yeah Wejo, disqualify the 19 year old white kid for being bumped off the track, so he won't beat Chelimo in the final and disprove your genetic supremacy theories.
He instigated the bump, you dumbarse.

It is spirt of sport. Jakob did not adhere to the letter of the law, and he failed in the spirit of sport by trying to force his way through.
Jakob "instigated" NOTHING. Incidental contact. Two runners running in close proximity came into light contact with each other. Jakob ended up on the infield momentarily only because he was on the inside of lane 1. Switch the positions, and the other guy ends up on the infield. No big pushes made, no real attempts at illegal passes, no justification for a DQ.
It looked like he slowed down to avoid hitting the railing, so did he actually gain an advantage by slowing down?

Official results are published. No dq.

He slowed down, and fell inside the rail, because he was unable to force his way through.
