DLF at the bell is a really stupid strategy unless your kick easily torches everyone else. Getting through the traffic and running wide takes a ton of energy.
This has to be one of the more stupid comments.
DFL has more to do with pace than it has to do with placing. Look at his finishing time. He paced the race perfectly for his current capabilities. Where you position yourself has as much to do with the pace of those in front, as the your pace. He paced it perfectly. He ran a huge PR.
And he beat the Olympic champ, who is supposedly a great tactician.
Running in an average to slow 1500 is not the same as running in an elite competition. That's something you clearly don't understand. Keep your advice for elementary and high school sports.
Nope. Considering the traffic and extra work he had to deal with, his last lap showed he left too much in the tank, for either a tactical or time trial. He could have gone sub 3:30 or even won if he'd been better positioned. Fact is, he just didn't know what he could do.
And since you started it, you're an idiot. Only a drooling half-wit thinks hanging back is smart for anyone but an Abdi Bile, and it was risky even for him.
