DQ!!! in 800?!! or Great Racing?

But how can the guy behind you possibly get by?

Wejo maybe you didn’t explain this very well, but it sure sounds like blocking or impeding another runners progress

Hard to believe you really think that should be allowed

Although Bizimana ended up on track I don't see contact being made at least until after finish.

It probably shouldn't be allowed, but our sport can be pretty boring and I usually am rooting the guy rigging up to hang on.

If you're faster you'll get by.

no shot Bizimana beats him, but that was ridiculous. Clearly trying to box him out

Chelimo did the same thing

I disagree. The Texas guy was closing faster. He was impeded. The judges, whoever they are, seem to agree. The Mississippi State guy was DQd

The pictures you added since first post provide much better context, thanks.

Per the rules that looks like a clear DQ.

Nice! Pieces out!

this is an obvious DQ. two different officials from different angles put up yellow flags to signal an infraction

Under the rule cited, how was there no deliberation in the mile on the same basis? The rule cited implies that this DQ was for the flailing at the end rather than the switching lanes. Though not intentional, did the mile winner not do the same thing- potentially impeding the runner on the inside more so with his celebration?

Chelimo does this almost every race.

Pasted from the live discussion thread via I Chose D2:

Rule 7.5
Not in Lanes
ARTICLE 3 The referee, after consulting with the appropriate officials, shall
disqualify a competitor who:
a. Jostles, cuts across or obstructs another competitor so as to flagrantly impede
the other runner’s progress (direct contact is not necessary - any action that
causes another runner to break stride or lose momentum is grounds for
disqualification);
b. Cuts in front of another runner without proper clearance or one full stride on
the curved line start;
c. Veers to the right or to the left so as to flagrantly impede a challenging runner
or forces the challenging runner to run a greater distance;

He was DQ'd for 7.5 3-a.

A white runner would be DQ’d for this.

It was a DQ: https://flashresults.ncaa.com/Indoor/2023/004-2_compiled.htm

Its' DQ but man he ran a gutsy race.

Real men (and women) win by running faster than their competition, not impeding it. Confuses me why he decided to try and block 2nd place when he could’ve just won it fairly and honorably. Must’ve been that anaerobic head fog.

Have other people seen Rojo's interview with Navasky Anderson? He seems to treat Anderson with contempt, asking him questions as if he hopes he cries.
