After rewatching the race, I think some of his frustration was that he felt he eased up thinking he had won the race and was caught off guard by Geordie. When Geordie pulled close to him it looks like he had another gear but it was too late.
100% this. My wife was screaming at the TV watching the final 50m when El Bakkali was easing up and Beamish was catching him.
In the slow-mo replay of the finishing straight, the difference in hip drive, leg extension, and knee lift as Beamish went past El Bakkali was striking, and it wasn't because El Bakkali was dying, it was because he had eased up thinking the win was in the bag. El Bakkali was able to change gears -and his form visibly changed as well- once Beamish drew alongside him, but by then it was too late. That was the source of his frustration and emotionally-charged reaction.
There was a similar situation in the Monaco Diamond League steeple back in July, with Japan's Miura closing fast on an easing-up El Bakkali, but in that race El Bakkali was able to turn on the jets in the final meters and win by .25 of a second. He made the same mistake in Tokyo, but it was far more costly this time.
You weirdly care about a man you will never meet expresses his emotions. Bizarre.
Compared with El B, you have accomplished nothing of any importance whatsoever in your life, and certainly not in the area that leads you to obsess with him (running).
I am incredulous at a cry baby rolling around on the track in front of thousands. It’s shocking how frail and feeble the world has become- and maybe that’s just your thing as well…?
Just be aware: the pendulum will eventually swing back the other way, and you will be steamrolled. I suppose you should enjoy the time of celebrated wan and fragility while you can.
Wow.
OP is unhinged.
Personally, I haven't cried once since I was a small child. Not once. I don't think that's about strength; it's just who I am.
I just don't care if anyone else cries, and I'm embarrassed for you being so obsessed with another man.
