F Ingebrigtsen gets Q and Lemi is out. That's encouraging pushing and foul behavior. If Filip had pushed Cheriyout and eventually caused him to fall and not just a 3:35 Ethiopian there would have been a big drama.

Heat 1 was crazy - if Centro can handle the rounds he will contend for a medal.

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

Bear in mind Ethiopia will likely lodge a protest and things could change.

How did Centro do/look?
Relaxed!
He was 3d in a big crowd -- sixth place was just .13 seconds out.
What a bunch of douchebahgs these brothers are turning out to be. I hope this DQ is enforced, this is ridiculous.

A 3:35 Ethiopian?!? He took out the World record holder in the Indoor 1500! Record stood for 22 years.

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.
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
He’s incapable of counting.

+1 Tim.C in no way shape or form looked like he was working…he’ll cruise the Semi’s.
As for Filip, absolute scum. If you watch the video LR just tweeted. Filip shoulders the Ethiopian at least 3 times before the Ethiop said “enough” and tried to get out in the only gap possible. Filip then completely cuts back in as he is moving out and clean cuts the Ethiops leg from under him. Praying the IAAF Officials see this and take appropriate measures, no more of this “Ingebrigsten Magic” Sh*t, Filip played DIRTY today.
What a bunch of horsecrap. That Lima should be DQ'd and imprisoned for trying to take out Filip. If that scumbag isn't DQ'd then there is something very wrong.

Centro's secret seems to be how relaxed he stays throughout the thickest of competition. Never seen BB look this good either.
I will say I had nothing against the brothers going into worlds. Since then Jakob is constantly running up on people from the inside and being physical without earning space to do so. Filip is dropping out in striking position, and then acting ridiculous in a heat...Not a good look for them.
Love the Ingebrigtsen racing style. They don't take no crap do they?

Bullsh*t. Filip stayed in lane 2 the entire time. It was the Ethiopian who was forcing his way out. He simply kept his place and position.

No, there is no need to imprison him. I wish him a nice flight back to Addis.
Some gel on the shoulders would make the Ingebritsens slide right by....
Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

Yeah, I kept waiting for him to do his usual fade after winding up too soon. But he timed it perfectly. That was nice to see.
Hassan looking a little depressed walking out of the back room to the track.
