WOOF! All the big guns go home devastated. So much randomness. This event suffers without Jakob to drag the NEXT best time trialers around. Unless you're a Nader fan. Congrats to him.

NADER WIGHTMAN R. Cheruiyot!!!
What happened to Laros?? Nader had the kick I thought Laros would have

Man, I thought Jake had it. I've never wanted anything more than that. Silver is an incredible return after the two years he's had. And my man Thoughtsleader said he wouldn't even make the final.
I've also been saying all week that Laros wouldn't medal. I've been convinced that he's over-raced. He had nothing when Wightman blew by him
Truly the new Ingebrigtsen.
Really thought Laros had it after the slow 800 - thought he would control it all the way
Doper right there, absolute madness from qualifications to heats and favorites dropping left and right the 1500m is cooked and cursed right now
Yep, this is why we race. So many people were saying that Laros was a shoe-in for gold, that this would be a boring race. But anything can happen when the gun goes off
Honestly Geordie beamish would’ve destroyed this field in this type of race.
Will 5th be Laros’ highest finish in a global final in his career? He couldn’t have asked for a weaker field with no Jakob, Hocker, Nuguse, Kessler, and an injured Kerr.
HOOOOOOLY what an upset
What a sh*tshow!
No two-time champion since drug-cheat Kiprop.
Nader
Hocker (Olympics)
Kerr
Wightman
Jakob (Olympics)
Tim
Manangoi
Centrowitz (Olympics)
Kiprop
Kiprop
Who tf is Nader and how many drugs is he on?
What a crazy wreck of a race. Hocker would’ve easily taken that one, but woulda coulda I know! Honestly it kinda sucked without Ingy or Hocker.
Wightman could end up with gold yet if Nader gets banned
Funny because as the race was starting the announcer said Nader is quick and if it’s slow watch out for him and I thought, who????
I don't wanna cheer on athletes getting hurt, but Kerr found himself in such a terrible position + running in sunglasses for no damn reason. I'm more surprised that something like this hasn't happened to him sooner.
I think him finishing on an injury could potentially worsen it, too.

This was the weirdest 1500m World champ. Nagus didn't qualify. Big names out in first heat. Kerr hamstring pull. Nader won.
I've never believed in voodoo before, but now I have to wonder. It was as if all the favorites were cursed!

Good thing you added the /s.
I'd have believed you otherwise.
