In Norway, where Filip is from, this kind of behaviour is allowed, in fact encouraged.
Figure out why you suck at sports and Norway does not.

In what sports? How Is Norway doing in popular sports like football, basketball, rugby, voleyball, Tennis, Cricket, Softball?
Zero chance he'll be DQed. Has the so-called honest effort rule ever been applied to anyone? It seems like the worst case is you get a bogus doctor's note saying you were 'sick' like Makhloufi did.
Not at this stage. In NCAAs I think it has been applied.
Maybe he forgot the asthma meds the Norwegian winter athletes are fond of at home. His lungs were tired without extra bronchodilation.

Those sports are not popular, and how dare you call that handball thing football???
https://www.greatestsportingnation.com/per-capita-cup-2019/resultsSomeone asked me about this afternoon. I was like, "No he's not being DQd."
He wasn't serving as a pacemaker. He ran with the leaders until he realized he couldn't kick with him. I think his effort was a hell of lot better than his brother's Henrik.
Plus his effort in the 5000 was way better than everyone else in the 1500 who didn't even start the 5k.
Not one word of that made any sense.
What did you reply to`?
What??
I guess coming from a decent society ( Norway), and getting messages from someone that loves Donald Trump makes it hard,

See: Makhloufi, London 2012
Mahk Daddy had a doctor's note.
It was BS, but he went through the motions.
Does Filip the cheater have a doctor's note.
Not that it matters. DQs are not for white athletes, as his brother Jakob proved while running inside the rail without a DQ.
Didn’t Mahkloufi commit his misdemeanour in the heats though?!
The fact this happened in the final changes things massively, his honest effort was already put in in the heat.
Well, since cricket,softball, rugby are not especially on the agenda high up North, though in some European countries. But in Soccer, not all that bad for a small nation. In tennis, one amongst the hundred best. Norway, with short summers and long winters, on top in most of the wintersports,alpine skiing, cross country,skiing, biathlon etc. But very good in orienteering. And in handball. Some top swimmers. Cricket came to Norway with pakistani immigants some years ago. Are Cricket and Softball world sports? And American Football? World Series. What World? Most of it due to cultural differences. In Norway people don't even know what softball is. That's how it is with 5 million inhabitans. 56 Olympic gold Medals in summersports and 132 in wintersports. Compared with USA it is nothing: 1022+105.
I think the rule is intended more for athletes that enter an event they have no intention of competing in. A secondary event that they don't start. In Ingebrigtsen's case he started the race and completed most of it.
Norway is one of the best nations at volleyball. You forgot that one

They aren't qualified for 2019 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup, for example. They aren't contenders in world stage. See the recent FIVB World Rankings.

I've generally got past the need to correct people's spelling or grammar ... but there is a reason for them - it aides understanding.
With that double negative you're suggesting he is being DQed, but the gist of your post is that he's not.
For clarity ... which is it?

World #1 ranked men's beach volleyball pairing are Mol and Sarum
Norway also have the 3rd ranked pairing in Europe.
It has been proven that rules are not a priority for the Ingebrigtsens.

Because that's against the rules. Should be a DQ
It isnt clear to me that is what the honest effort rule means.
I think it's clear that he wanted a medal and when it was clear he wouldn't win one he dropped out. It wouldn't be hard to argue that honest effort means an honest effort to compete, not to complete.
Imagine the Olympic 10k. A competitor expected to have a slot at making has a terrible day and is dropped hard. They're doing their best, but they're off the back. Soon they're getting lapped, in the way of the actual race. Should they stay in and finish the race 2 or 3 minutes behind the leaders? They're capable of finishing, so you're saying they're required to finish.
Where do you draw the line? What constitutes "bad enough" to justify dropping out? Running 90% of a race trying to hold onto the leaders before dropping out seems like an honest attempt to me, assuming his goals were on medaling.
People pointed out Justyn Knight finished despite being 25 seconds off the winners. Im not sure how that is relevant.
The rule doesn’t say that athletes have to participate to the point of destroying their bodies or chances of future good efforts, simply that there should be a bonafide effort. If you look at how he ran at below PB pace for portions of the race and was pacing the group at one point, that’s certainly a genuine effort. Judging by how annoyed he himself was after the race for his breathing issues… This is a ridiculous thread.

Ironically, reading your post, it is obvious to every native speaker of English that you are not a native speaker of English.
Romo's politics arent relevant here, but if they were, he is clearly not a "lover" of Donald Trump. The Brojos are part of the conservative establishment that doesnt like Trump. For decades, the oil special interests have had massive influence in American politics to ensure they continued to enrich themselves. Trump represents a threat to that.
