Jakob Ingebrigtsen DQ'd, then reinstated in men's 5K at Worlds

Jakob should be disqualified not because he stepped inside the rail, or rather ran inside of it, but because he is a punk kid that needs his bottom spanked.

Doesn’t matter . He won’t get a medal neither in the 5k and nor in the 1,500m

There are controversies regarding the protest as well. Protests can be delivered orally. When the jury announced there will be no dq the british rep allegedly uttered 'why dont you look at the tape once more'. The jury understood this as a formal protest. However the british denies it was a protest but rather a comment on the jury's decision.

no,he hasnt got a hope of winning.the east africans will see him as a threat,he'll be marked because of the publicity of being a teen phenom,and they will know how to beat him.

Always knew that El K would be back for the Worlds.

Clearly breaks rules. Overlook that fact. White privilege for the win!

Americans discussing DQ. What a shock.

Maybe you should train more and run faster.

Wrote this last night. It is still true.

But I guess American runners are grown up in a system were trying to punish the other teams is as important as running fast yourself.

Now the Ingebrigtsens have three brothers in the final..............

Gggg: go and find a hole in the ground !

It is a shame that the Vikings decided not to maintain their sovereignty of England, Scotland, Shetland, etc, etc after their 200 years of settlements up to year 1066 .....because then we could teach you brits real sportsmanship and also how to behave and show some respect

Not sure why you pests are calling me El K..... Because i'm not. In other news, Obiri will get the better of Sifan Hassan for our second gold!!!

Every Kenyan performance at this Championships should be given an asterix, and every medal put in doubt until the AIU finishes its investigation of the ZDF video.

And yes, it's perfectly obvious that you're El K.

The DQ was a joke, he was running inside, regular bumping pushed him inside. It didn't help him.

The only good take on his hellhole website.

East Africans? So they join together for the first time? Don't think so. Both Jakob and not at least Filip may get medals. And Paul Chelimo, why not? But Barega and Bekele have to decide to run fast. And Jakob and Filip are both capable of sub 13 if necessary It will be a great race. May the best man win.

2 virtue signaling points for you!

I'm all for a much more no-holds-bar contact T&F. However, if there are rules, I want them to be applied consistently and to the letter. Now, in the future, it's going to be difficult to argue that some random athlete should be DQ'd as a result of forcing his way through on the inside lane, instigating contact which in turn causes an inside lane violation. They may as well get rid of that rule and just say for every step on the track, you get n steps off the track.

It's not a good video though is it rojo? What happened before that? Maybe you drunk too much coffee and got over excited about it?

See video mid-page.

One can (and did) demand leniency in this case, but no rational person - including my rabid compatriots - can claim total innocence. He consciously passed on the inside with insufficient room, causing his imbalance and steps in the infield. It wasn't dirty, but it was poorly planned.

JI didn't have room to pass on the inside, but did anyway.

No room to put feet in the lane once by Balew and found a wall and off balance.

No one pushed JI.

Total BS.

Maybe it was another shooter on the grassy knoll.

100% if that was Chelimo, he'd be at the pool on Monday.

He did gain a material advantage. Based on his positioning, he should have have to run the entire turn behind the Bahrain athlete. Plus he did take one step inside on a turn so he ran less distance

I think 'material advantage' means something different to the jury: it's not 'theoretical microscopic advantage', it's "unlikely to have affected the race outcome".
