Still waiting for some official results beyond the broadcast, but if Cole is DQ'd, I've gotta assume it follows that he impeded Farkin. Does Farkin get moved forward?

Horrible tactics by Hocker and Strand but Hocker should know better.
Strand!? He had nothing left in the tank!
I’m pretty sure Strand had a top-6 final 100m, maybe even the fastest last 100 in his heat. He struggled up to that point with positioning (and I think the third lap was tougher for him than he wanted it to be), and with 400 to go I thought it looked like he quit a little bit. Difficult race for him but he definitely had something left to burn the last 100.
Heck of a year for him no matter what.

Hocker out. And for just for you who keep saying he was going backwards anyway that is absolutely irrelevant according to the rules.

Worst DQ since Devon Allen, absolutely pathetic.
Can't pull a fellow athlete back, deserved DQ.

Hocker was way too fit to let the situation arise in the first place. Major tactical error.
I don't care either about the DQ either way, but it's a bit on the harsh side.

According to WA site, Farken was advanced to the final as well.

Hocker DQ'ed, no Jakob, no GooseisLoose, no Hobbs (or Habz either for that matter), no 28 year old Kenyan KoEPOech, the 1500m final is WASHED.

Hocker deserved the DQ. Raced like an absolute peanut. Tried to force his way through a gap that wasn't there.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes Hocker. Cant just force your way through the inside every race kid.

The German is like jerk who drives on the highway to block others from passing.

Yes. He’s now listed as a qualifier.

not sure what to think of El Bakkali's reaction here. bizarre
Guy who hasn’t lost a global final in 5 years is sad to lose. Absolutely puzzling stuff apparently?
Right that’s what I’m thinking. He hugged Beamish and looked like he congratulated him at the end, and that’s all I can ask of someone I feel like. I don’t think he can control the crying, the punching the face is weird but I think he was probably just trying to stop the crying. I feel like being in that state and still congratulating the guy who beat you is very sportsmanlike, but that’s just my take.
Was SCREAMING for Beamish down the last 100. He was SO far out of it with a lap to go (again), I just thought he had no shot (again), but he ripped one of the most insane kicks I’ve ever seen (again). The love of my life <3

Only way Hocker was getting thru the gap was pushing. Didn't run a good tactical race, easily in shape to make final.

Gotta feel for Hocker but it was obvious over the past few years that this was coming at some point. He plays with fire every single race. But I don’t even think this was one of his worst offenses, especially on the global stage, should not have been a DQ.

That’s weak - it’s racing.
