Looks to me Johnson clipped Hailu in front of her.
Definitely - Johnson was moving up on the outside of lane one, Hailu shifted out without looking and got clipped. Perhaps both of their faults but mostly Hailu.
After another few replays, just to put a wrap on this while all but one of the women jog the 5k - in the 1500 Hailu moved out abruptly enough into Johnson that I think it was entirely her fault for getting clipped. It wasn't quite a Meghan Hunter/Addy Wiley 800 crash, but close. Doesn't Hailu normally go out hot and mostly front run? Maybe she's not used to running in a pack.

I don't think the WR is happening. Ngetich had pacers for only like 2k? I think she even passed one who wasn't up to the task.
Attempt seems to be done. Slowed drastically (72 in there), 14:00 pace is 8:24 but she was at 8:30. Oh, they just mentioned it too. Two 72s in a row now in fact.
She was never really on pace in fact. 14:00 pace is 67.2s but the fastest lap was 67.21, even the rest of the 67s were significantly slower. Bleeding time from the start before the slowdown, would've needed a substantial kick.
