Ingebrigtsen should have been disqualified for cutting off Mechaal in the 1500

Dude, the IP's are the same!😂😂😂 Are there a bunch of you pumping out posts from the same server then?

Idiot. Do you even know what a server is?

BUSTED. Seriously, what's your axe to grind with this dude? It's weird.

Filip Ingebrigsten was clearly running in lane 2 down the home stretch of the 1500m but cut back in to lane 1 as Adel Mechaal got close to passing him. It sure looked like Mechaal would have taken bronze if he hadn't been cut off. Why wasn't Ingrebrigsten DQ'ed?

Its racing. As long as he moves over and there is room to do it, without causing contact he's fine.

What a bunch of snowflakes you are. No wonder you are constantly disappointed.

Ing's first step across the line almost touched the curb, while he was on the outside of lane one 10m before that and middle of lane two 10m before that...

When the guys came out for medal ceremony, I was surprised to see Ing lining up for a medal. I was sure that he was DQ.

So basically we have one sissy little piss-ant posting under different names trying to create a "consensus" the Ing should be DQ'ed.

Get over it, you crybaby future cuck.

Here's the rule, after reading it, I am shocked a challenge was not filed:

"Not in Lanes Disqualification’s SHALL BE RULED by the Referee when a competitor:

1. Jostles, cuts across or obstructs another competitor so as to impede the other runners progress. Direct contact is not necessary; any action that causes another runner to break stride or lose momentum can lead to D.Q

2. Veers to the right or to the left so as to impede a challenging runner and causes the challenging runner to run a greater distance."

I wouldn't argue if a DQ was called.

Usually I am against petty DQs.

Except that this one seems to be textbook DQ material. Can an expert here explain why It wasn't a DQ. Did Spain simply drop the ball? Or is it something else.

Why shove a guy when you have quarter inch spikes on the bottoms of your shoes?

Yes. They realized that pretty soon Ingebritsen and Mechaal will have gold and silver once the testing comes out

It's pretty textbook.

The only thing is they ran out of room before the line.

If that sharp cutoff happened a few meters earlier they would have had to flag it.

I always knew a lot of letsrunners were pissy crybabies, this thread confirms it. Mechaal should have gone on the outside if he had more of a finish than Inge, instead he chose the riskier inside lane. It didn't work out, done deal.

This.

People say that Kejelcha was stupid to let Farah pass on the inside. And then they say that Ingebrigtsen should have been DQ's for NOT letting Mechaal pass on the inside (not that he was going to be able to pass anyways). Bunch of hypocrites.

Don't move off the rail and let someone pass on the inside. That doesn't mean you you can cut into lane one if someone is passing you.

If only we had the Rio judges in London, Ingebrigtsen would have been DQ'd. But so would Mechaal, somehow. Then they'd DQ three guys from the chasing pack at out of spite. Of the five disqualifications, two would be overturned on appeal, to be determined by pulling names out of a hat.

The Philip is my least favorite ing.

He's a nasty piece of work, calling his competitors in Monaco "idiots". Blocking Mechaal then pretending not have seen him confirms what a jerk he is.

And Mechaal missed those 3 tests last year, so i am not shedding tears for him.

^^^This. A North African running under a Spanish flag? Clean as a whistle then.

Mechaal has lived in spain since his parents immigratedcwhen he was two. He is spanish in behavior and speech. It is not clear that he missed tests because he cheats. He had been very immature and flaky throughout his youth. There seems to be some idea that he really was just out to lunch so to speak. Now he has a new coach who seems to have helped him get his act together although it would not be surprising were he doping.

cant wait to see him get wasted. So arrogant. Has the white supremacist haircut too.

Norwegians seem to be above the law, as if they can do no wrong.

As long as no one files a complaint they actually can do no wrong.

Gotta say I disagree pretty strongly about the dislike for the Ingebrigtsens. Filip didn't do anything wrong, which is the reason Meechal after seeing the replay decided not to protest.

The same Meechal that missed three (three!) doping tests last year.

Anothinger thing I find interesting is the hate for this family running in a speedsuit. Why doesn't anyone criticise Manangoi for the same? Not a comment.

The Ingebrigtsens are a pretty amazing story. A white family with the father as a coach, with no prior coaching experience nor ever being an athlete, coaching three sons to such a high level. Athletes and coaches from all over the world have sent them messages and support.

And El Keniano: Even the Kenyan athletes are mighy impressed. They said to Filip after the race: "What are you doing? Its insane. You are crazy" for his attempt to go after and beat them in the final. They told him they didn't believe a norwegian could ever do something like that.

I'm highly impressed by Filip in the final. He went for it when the Kenyans ran away early, when nobody else dared. Had the Ingebrigtsens been american I'm sure they would be worshipped in here.

As their father tells, they have different talents. Filip is better physically, Henrik is the strongest mentally. As seen when he trough his youth years always went balls out in every race. At first he was caught and beaten by older runners holding back for the last 200m, but after a while when his condition improved he startet running away from and staying away from his competitors, until at the national level there was nobody even close.

Filip is different, he was always injured and struggled a lot with allergies. He nearly quit running two years ago because of set back after set back. Injuries all over. Even this winter he was far back after an injury last fall, which is the reason he ran so terrible in the European Indoor Championship this year.

Jakob is told to be a mix of them.
