Statement win by Hocker. There were a lot of questions about his doubling and lack of wins throughout the year. He had a lot of answers right there. And probably are making a lot of little ask "what if he didn't get himself DQed in the 1500".
In the history books people will ask, "Why did the terrible officials (running theme of the meet it seems) grief his double gold", sorry you're late to the party.

Announcer on Hocker: "he is so good at race tactics"
Dude what, did you watch the 1500 prelims at all...
You don't have to be a tactical genius when you can close like that.
Didn't Beamish beat Hocker once doing the same? Cracks me up those two way-back kickers !!

If Syd spits under 47 today i'll eat my hat
No way. She'll be so far ahead at the exchange already. She can just do a calm 47 high.
Can't wait for the 2026 Jakob revenge tour.
i saw him coming up at 200m and i was punching the air

Hocker: 52.62 last 400m and 25.5 last 200
Hocker is such a walking ick, gross behaviour.
One day Ethiopia and Kenya will figure out that they can’t leave 5000 meter races to a kick against 1500 studs. SMH

Is he a threat to a fit Jakob in the 5k now?
yes. somebody said that was a 52.5 or something?? if that's true, he's the new favorite going forward. no matter what.
it's god's gift the way his body is able to peak for these championship meets while looking the way he looks the other 51 weeks of the year.
They need to make the 1500m the final event. None of this Decathlon or relay BS. No-one cares.

I knew with 100m to go there was no way Hocker was going to lose this one
Agree when I saw he had moved up with 200 m to go and still running well under control I knew he had the one final gear remaining

Now the real question: If Hocker wasn't DQ'd, would he still win the 5k?
Another interesting counterfactual - if Hocker wasn't DQ'd does he win (or medal) in both?
Yep, Beamish did it at 2024 indoor Worlds 1500.
It's nearly over 🥹
