Tefera is in. Mechal is the first one out, unless they DQ someone.
How did Centro do/look?
So 3 Brits in Semis and only one Kenyan. Imagine what a disaster Kenya would be on the track (men) if it wasn't for Tim?
The mandatory 3 tests in the lead up to these championships has really hit the Kenyans. Tim was pretending not to be working hard at the end of his heat, but I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles to medal.

Yep, you're right, easy peasy, my bad. Johnson's claim that he just gave his coach a "heart attack" just hyperbole.

Makhloufi vs Ingebrigtsens will be a MMA fight. Makhloufi pushed like 6 people in his heat.
Also, imagine how brutal the semi-finals are going to be if this was just the first round.
Makhloufi wouldn't take sh:t.
Enjoy your fantasy-land for the next 3 days. When Kerr is top UK finisher at 6th in the final and Tim takes the gold will ANYONE remember the Brits this year? All you need is one!

As for the Ingebrigtsens and contact, here it is. Fair or Foul?

Kwemoi is also through, you are seriously the biggest idiot this boards has to offer. Also 3 tests were no problem for top finishers at trials, again idiotic

I know people give the commentators a lot of crap (I usually do), but I thought the commentary was pretty good through all the semis. I think the strategy was discussed well and the play-by-play was exciting!
Has the Nike employee Craig Masback mentioned Salazar yet? He'll have to do it in the 1500 semis, right? I haven't heard them mention it.
tefera got a little qf
Eventually someone will blast him out into lane 5 like Clarke did to Mills in 1964. or better yet into the infield if he tries to pass on the inside.

He seemed fine. The time wasn't fast (~3:36) but he looked to be in control and his heat was probably the most competitive of the three.

No its not there. Bad angle and hopeless resolution.
What are you blabbering about? They got a bronze from Rotich in the 800. They have strong entrants in the men’s steeple. Nothing today indicates anything besides Cheruiyot being a strong favorite. You have the Ingrebridstens risking DQs left and right to finish top 6 lol. Korir made the 400 final and could do something. I suspect the 5,000 was a disappointment cuz of the 3 tests thing likely but they were worse off in 2017.

I should add that Blakenship looked the best of the 3 americans. Ran a very smart race and stayed out of any trouble.
Kwemoi through as well!

No Kwemoi got through.

He looked nonplussed as always tho the finish was chaotic. Worth seeking out a replay later.
