Niyonsaba was just to the left of McColgan when the incident happened and McColgan looked to her left before she started to stumble. It was a close up front view so I couldn't see anything below their torsos so there is no way to tell if contact happened.
Looked like McColgan had contact with one of the American runners, but she have been clipped by Niyonsaba first, and then the deceleration took her back into the runners behind her. Hard to tell.

Is there actually a source for this? All I've heard of is some punditry conjecture, nothing official.
Just what NBC has shown as results.
Maybe the official results are published?
… and USA mixed 4x400 is DQ’d
I think if you're going to mix up your mixed race order you should put the 2 men first, build up a big lead on the 2nd leg, hope your 1st woman can increase the lead a little and your 2nd woman hang on. The Polish team did that at Worlds and didn't do too badly, getting 5th in the final.
usa second leg clearly cut off another runner. That was a dg as soon as I saw it

And Schneider chokes again. She's one of those runners who look amazing against people who she should beat and crumbles the second she gets under a tiny bit of pressure. Not making it out of the easy heat.
Were you really expecting her to finish top 5? She finished in the same position Schweitzer (7th) but happened to be in the slower heat. I think all 3 Americans ran well.

Commentator said runner was in front of the change zone when taking the baton, possibly due to unfamiliar track markings.
Well she was way out the zone nothing to do with cutting off
Who is this runner representing Eritrea? Tell me this is not a dude?

and the other finalists?
for me: Tirop, Teferi [Eth], Taye, Rengeruk, Schweizer, Y.Can, seccafien, 20yo Hironaka, and Prisca Chesang from heat 1. Just 3 from the other heat: McColgan, Grovdal, and a 19yo Eritrean.
11 or 12 of the finalists, the Israeli surprised me

Twelve hours now, will Hassan be even a little effected by a 1500 in sub 4 in the early session in the humidity?

And a fall plus extra effort

Maybe the first good prediction you’ve ever made ;)
