So far after the 10000, 1500 and steeple, only 2 Africans have managed to beat the top American. this will be analyzed for years to come🇺🇸🇺🇸
Aregawi, Cheptegei, and El Bakkali makes three, if you only count men's races. It's a lot more on the women's side where the US is still waiting for a distance medal
Won't sleep until knowing if Girma is out of danger!
El Bakkali's joy at the finish is understandable, but he could've made a small gesture at least, to show his concern about Girma, like some others did. He practically jumped over him.
The spectacle shows narrowed minds, like in a war. Hate that. Sport should be far far away from war practices. What is gold when a life could be at risk.

Give me a break. Fall happened with 200m left in the race. I hope he’s okay, but cmon dude, us spectators had a better angle of the fall than any runner in the actual race.
As “heinous” as it might seem to you, after winning an Olympic medal your first thought isn’t about that one dude who fell with 200m left. Give the runners at least an once of slack.
Le recordman du monde du 3 000 m steeple a lourdement chuté ce mercredi soir à l'entame du dernier 200 m. Inconscient sur la piste, puis évacué par civière, il a depuis repris connaissance avant d'être transféré à l'hôpital p...

That 'one dude' was his one and only real opponent! Practically wacked out, flat on the floor, not moving!
Dunno who you are, but your reaction is of concern.
Did you actually watch the race? El Bakkali didn't even react to Girma's fall. He didn't "jump over him" like you alluded to.
Sorry, but if I'm the former olympic champion I'm not stopping my race with 200m left to make sure my opponent who hit the steeple is okay.
I'm very glad Girma is doing okay, but medalling at the olympics and not immediately running to check on someone who fell doesn't make someone a bad sport.
