Wow, what a flagrant attempt to block McGorty. Lost all respect for him right there - he's a dick with no sportsmanship, that showed a total lack of character. Swung wide then tried to cut back in only to trip up, some poetic justice there at least.

Agreed! That was also a great kick by McGorty at the end. I am glad he made the team. Seems like a nice guy and has struggled with lots of injuries, but still worked hard to come back

Ate sh*t and got what he deserved.
Can't let that slide just because he ate s*** and didn't make the team. Take him out of the results and slap a DQ on him. Disgraceful.
Agreed

Also very smart of McGorty to realize that Bor was expecting McGorty to come up on his right, so McGorty fooled him and went by Bor on his left.

karma is a btch
Where was this outrage when Blankenship cut off Manzano at the 2016 Olympic 1500m Trials?
McGorty knew what was up, he knew Bor couldn't turn left.
Emmanuel Bor, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do may be held against you in a court of law…

Is there video anywhere?
You can drift a little to block, this may have crossed the line. I wouldn’t say shameful or disgraceful, maybe closer to feeble or stupid. But yes he got what he deserved for not playing it straight.
agreed. chelimo started this sh*t and set a precedent - they should have dq'd him at the time
Bor must have learned his racing tactics from Chelimo-----remember the Tokyo Drift ??
Lol, no. It's unedifying, and I'm glad he didn't gain any advantage from his move, but it was just racing. Distance running at the global level is full of crap like this. Did you see the women's 3000m at world Indoors? The pack in an average 1500 is all elbows and shoving. That's the reality of elite racing, these guys are t just going to let you do your thing. Bekele and Farah, the two best championship racers ever, loved the battle
You guys are soft.
I'll admit I may have been a little worked up right after so I emoted a bit but my general point still stands. This was beyond "rubbing is racing", impeding someone's progress in the manner that he did is pretty classless.
Bullsh!t That is illegal and deserves a DQ
Why is anyone surprised? Bor trained with Simmons’ ADP. Clearly his new club Peak Running (or whatever you call it) is just as shady…
