Grant had a medal til Ahmed. Unreal. So freaking upsetting
Lol. Blame it on the Black man! Fisher hit the rail because he hasn't learned how to naviagte a track. Ahmed never touched him!
I said “grant needs to move out” at 200m to go. It looked like he had space to move off the rail into the outside of lane 1 just before the turn. Why limit your options on the rail where you could get boxed coming off the turn? Everybody drifts inside as they make the turn home then drift out, people on the rail ALWAYS get squeezed and it’s begging for a box at best or getting clipped and falling at the worst. For as smart as Grant is, he seems to race like an idiot in the final 300m, he’s robotically on the rail - dude it’s 300m to go, that extra meter you run by drifting out a bit is not going to matter. Insane.
Grant always puts himself in a bad finishing position. He is always boxed in. He had a chance to get on the outside of lane 1 around 250. I don't understand what he is doing. That is not how you race with 200 to go.
Yeah more aggression on the backstretch. He could learn a lot from Mburu and Krop who just ran with aggression from similar positions.
Shame for fisher, but it was frustrating to watch his positioning for most of the end of the race. I get hugging the rail, but when it ramps up, you need to carve out space to go with any moves. I feared he wouldn’t have any runway to kick anyways, then clips the rail and loses it.
If he gets off the f***ing rail! He's doing the same thing he did in the 10 and it cost him a podium.
🚂
You could see this coming from way out; he didn't learn from the 10. I thought he was going to get himself clear then he went right back in, with nearly predictable results. unreal.
