I truly am dismayed by this path to citizenship. How much do these WCAP runners actually participate in defense activities? If they are really soldiers and not an athletic publicity campaign for the armed services, then I am wrong in my annoyance.
Just look up Paul Chelimo's US Army Recruitment page.
Or even Hillary Bor's
Yeah. Please do.
I did.
Then yes, admit you're wrong. Heck, the word "soldier" appears on their page !
In fact, Bor made Staff. Sgt. (E-6)
You don't just get handed an E-6
In the USMC, my father was awarded E-7 Gysgt after 18 years in the Corps.

From the rulebook:
163.3 - Each competitor shall run in a direct line after entering the final straightaway unless there is another competitor in his or her path. In other words, you can change lanes to pass someone, but not to impede anyone from passing you.
163.4. Any competitor or participant responsible for jostling, running across, or obstructing another competitor or participant so as to impede his or her progress shall be liable to disqualification in that event.
"A competitor shall not be disqualified unless a material advantage has been gained".
Did he jostle or obstruct the fourth place? Did he break his stride?
STFU
1. Chelimo was going wide to prepare to get around Cheptegei because he was still tryin to win like a real champion does
2. No, Chelimo did not obstruct or jostle 4th place. If anything, the the 4th place finisher, who was in front of Chelimo going into the final straight and then started tying up with 70 meters to go, obstructed Paul.

Fake news, and you know it, Fsabino.
World athletics has no such rule.
Admit that ain't a WA rule.
I see that some don't like Chelimo. I think he's a cool guy. He has fun, he has a sense of humor, and he's super passionate about racing. Yo Chelimo, you can count me a big fan.

Me too!
Bump for Paul MF Chelimo
Bronze tactics, push competitor to the outside and make the leap for the finish. Too bad he didn’t tuck and roll back to his feet and bow for the stuck landing.
