Is Hocker retarded? Why would he bother going to the front only to let himself get passed and boxed in so badly. He should be DQ'd for his tactics alone.
It's not the other runners' faults that Hocker was boxed. Dude loves the rail. Frequently, it pays off (see Olympics). The risk is you get boxed. That doesn't mean you can just barrel through people on the straight.
The two guys in front were going backwards and clogging things up. They might take that into account. also he slipped through without much contact or put it this way there were at least 5 other contact incidents before the final
Looks a LOT cleaner from the front (CBC showed that view in a replay, not sure if others did), doesn't look like he really shouldered Farken out of the way
One day Cole is gonna realize the inside might not open up. Gotten away with it too many times.
Always opens up in a sub 3:30 when there’s only 4 guys. Not so much in a 3:36 with the whole field still there. Should be a DQ, we’ll see if they actually do it to the Olympic champ
Farken was cooked and not quailing, I guess Hocker is just supposed to be sit there and lose... He literally did everything possible to try and get around him without obstructing him.

He didn't push anybody. I don't see how he gets DQd
