That's not the windlass mechanism, which is when phalanges are dorsiflexed and shorten the arch fascia. It's also not pronation either, which is the flattening of the arch, not eversion of the foot on the ankle joint.
Maybe some slight femoral retroversion causing the excess pronation?
I think mostly though that the shoes and the angle of the turn are to blame.
A reminder that a higher degree of pronation is not necessarily a bad thing.
Its not like he pronates in such manner throughout the whole run, that's the track curve...And besides these Elite runners are floating and not hitting the ground hard as they run so injuries are not as inviting as the majority of people. Efficiency is more crucial than pronation in running i guess

Yep. And he’s not doing that either.
Firstly, he is Cheptegei.
You cannot make an opinion on pronation by looking at a snap shot, and 'pro'nation is the foot landing on the outside (usually heel), then rolling inwards i.e. prone .
This is not only not happening in that photo, but it is clear that he is in a direction change of some sort there.
Whatever you call it, it is a bit unusual I think. I wondered about it being on the turn too, but you can see it at the 14:38 mark here:

If you pause it and it hit the period key it will go frame-by-frame forward (comma for back a frame), at least for me. He's on the straight and his left foot seems to roll inward more than his right, though it may not be a perfectly straight-on camera angle.
it's called the windlass mechanism

Of course he's leaning left, and his leg is tilted and his foot therefore is everted more than usual. And of course some joker (not you) blabs at me about the delusional so-called authority opinion. Without standard terminology there's no discussion; "pronation" is flattening of the arch, "eversion" is lateral-ward movement of the foot on the ankle joint. The latter may coincide with pronation, and usually does - but it's not what "pronation" means.
Many of us have had medial-tibial stress fractures, the majority of which were on the left leg, and this picture demonstrates why.
that is a nice one
