Why are the announcers acting like this was an upset? Dos Santos should have been considered the favorite coming in given the injuries to Warholm/Benjamin.

"Dos santos with the collegiate record! Wins the Olympic title" so many mistakes from the commentators
TREVOR BASSITT FOR BRONZE?!?!!!!
Ooof I feel bad for Karsten.
But holy hell Trevor MF Bassitt!!!!!
Competition and losing can make great athletes better.
Wow US 2-3, did not expect that! Congrats Bassitt!!!
Take that, France!
Warholm went out too hard and couldn't hold his form after 250m. WA splits say he went out in 11.09 for his first 100 - 0.15 faster than the next fastest runner at 100. His last 100 was 14.67
jakob had a good strategy. if he was fast, it could have played into his hands how early wightman went by him. He certainly had time sprint by him around the final turn. only had one gear the entire race.
who knows what the circumstances are, but he clearly is not as good as he was last year. maybe the dual 1500/5000 training?

Looks like his speed was fine post injury but his stamina was shot
rai seemed pretty happy after second here.
Norway in ruins.

true. i found it very interesting that the line was for warholm. i would have taken rai before him.
Not a surprise to me in the slightest. I KNEW it would be 1-2 in that order. Too many turds in the world are soooooo last season. ALWAYS go with who is hottest in the last 3 weeks going into a major. You'll be correct 4 times out of 5.

I was surprised too but I think we shouldn't have been. Bassitt had the 4th fastest PR of the field if I'm reading the startlist right, and one of the men ahead of him was Warholm.

It was really cool to see how happy he was about Bassit’s bronze.
ALISON DOS SANTOS!!! Amazing run with a meet record. So happy for him.

Good. Both Norwegians unlikeable AF! Is this Brazil's first medal since Joachim Cruz?

Not as many issues as Warholm, but he hasn't had a great season and ran his SB. Dos Santos is great, so he's I can see why he's not that unhappy with silver.
