Hurdles have weights that are set in different positions depending upon the race.

i think Harris was the one who caused most of the drama, trying to cut into a space that just wasn't there. Impeded a lot of the field
Meh. 150-200 meters into the race as everyone cuts in. No one tripped and no one was pushed. Just a tight space situation.

Hopefully no dq’s but Harris might be dq’d.
Agree - I mean I've personally been in far worse 800m races than that. Was once in a race with Nils Schumann who taught me a lot about space on the track if you know what I mean.
The 800m is a tough event, not just the speed you have run it at. You could spend an hour analyzing the race and probably find ways to DQ 3/4 of the field if you wanted to. So again, hopefully this result stands.

No one should be DQd. Stop being such pansies. Making our sport look soft.
I agree. Let ‘em race. Nobody fell or anything.

Ajees stride looked off, looked like she had a slight limp
Ajee told us once again that the same mysterious ailmane that bohtered her a few years ago is bothering her again but she refuses to tell us what it is.
As for Akins, she must have run that whole thing in lane 2. I didn't like her tactics but she's so much better than everyone else right now, it didnt' matter.

It looked like Murphy's contact was a result of Harris' pushing, which caused Hoppel to lose stride and slow down, which in turn caused Murphy to extend arm to prevent himself from running into Hoppel.

That would be super soft. Murphy especially barely touched anyone.
People dont need to get dqed just because there was a bit of contact off the break.

Or if a hurdler only wants to clear the first two for a warmup, they may want the third down so as to avoid running into it. A 42" hurdle will need the weights all the way back rather than forward.

Clayton murphy got cut off on the back straight and had to chop his stride. This happened on BOTH laps and slowed him down significantly. Ran the last 100m on pure hate to grab the 3rd spot

I’d say Murphy and Harris could be worthy of a DQ.That replay showed them both putting hands on the people in front of them.
If you put your hand on them because you are tryig to hold them up and not cause them to foul, it's not a foul - it's the opposite of a foul.

In warm-ups hurdlers typically run over the first 2-3 flights of hurdles. Officials put hurdles down beyond that so hurdlers aren’t pushing them down and creating a hazard for themselves or other hurdlers warming up.

So athletes can warm up over 1 or 2 hurdles and run through the next one without having to veer into the next lane or slow down too quickly

Nobody is blaming Jones for cutting everyone off from the outside like an idiot, and preceded to shove his way into 1st place after he cut off hoppel and harris. Jones should be DQ’d out of everyone.

Oof Wilson. It was a matter of time before she was a non contender - she’s been so dominant at the national level for over a decade.
Our women’s 800 team is weaker than it has been in a long time. I’ll be surprised if we get one in the final
Like other than Mu, you mean, right?
Raevyn rogers will make that final
