bullcrap.
Ingebrigtsen was racing aggresively, nothing else.
And grice was fading anyway, he wouldn't have qualified anyway.
The BBC feed announcers determined that on the replay.

You are not allowed to barge into other athletes and knock them down. Automatic DQ.
Ofili wins heat 3 12.75
Exactly.
Good lord.
Ya know, a few years ago I thought T. Dibaba was one of the most blatant cheats I had ever seen. Now her little sister and Ayana have taken things to new heights. Shocking that they're allowed to run.
Bad sportsmanship from GB Athletics in appealing there. Now Grice will run in semis but guys who finished ahead of him (and would have done anyway) will not. Pathetic.
I agree with the DQ and I agree with his decision to try and barge through.
If he didn't try to barge through he wouldn't have made it to the next round anyway.
How on earth does Grice, who got bumped while fading IN AN NON QUALIFYING POSITION advance? If two 4:00 1500m runners were out there 100m back on the track and one bumps the other, does that mean one advances?

Great, good to see Grice go through.
Murer has NMd in PV qual.

Are you assuming she is the only one not doping?
No. I said, "a chance to medal." There's a chance that any runner is one of three or fewer who aren't doping. So if she's not doped, it behooves her to get into the final even if she has to walk to the whole race.
Grice was very lucky to be in, but the DQ is unquestionable.
All 3 US hurdlers in. Brianna Rollins, incredible start, blew away everybody else.
So you think there is even the remotest chance they would later DQ 12 runners for doping in the same race so that someone way off the back could medal? Theoretically possible but nothing remotely close has ever happened.
German is protesting also now because grice got into final, tesfaye wants in too. He btw said: its not a dq
New spanish NR for Hortelano in heat 2 of the 200m.
Why the f is there 10 heats of the 200? So the 25 second 200m runner from Kiribati can run in the Olympics?
Ameer webb in for a long sweat. Currently 3rd out of 4 time Qs, but still 6 heats to go.
You get what you get wrote:

Bruno was a star sprinter on teh Cornell team when I was there. We assumed he needed to be moved up to the 400 to be a stud but he's still getting it done.
How messed up is our sport that Weldon immediately called me and said, "Do you know this Bruno guy? He has to be doping right."
For the record, Bruno is a great guy and he actuallly trains still in Ithaca, NY.
He is running unreal right now.

That's a ridiculous extreme, but you get the point. She could perform well enough to medal in the event of a breakthrough in blood testing sometime in the next decade.
Bolt looked so easy, he went hard in the bend then just jogged.
