At around the 400m mark of the 2nd heat of the 1500m semifinal, Craig Engels gives an arm-fully-extended shove to Hobbs Kessler, clearly breaking up Kessler's stride. I know Kessler seems to occasionally have difficulties finding his space while running in a crowd, but it didn't seem like he was cutting in or encroaching.
Arm fully extended isn't really rubbing, though. Engels did give Kessler a little elbow bump (warning?) a few seconds earlier, so maybe he wanted/needed to be more emphatic.

In the parlance of LRC, discus.
Kessler deserved it. Engels could have been more aggressive. Hobbs doesn’t position himself well in a crowd
Engels was running the rail and protecting his position. I’ve been encroached on more than once n the same spot. I can understand wanting to make sure they know you are there.
The announcer said that Kessler is trying to get more comfortable running on the outside and has a bad habit of always hugging the rail. Hopefully Engles accelerated his education with that well-deserved shove.
Are you really implying that Kessler’s suboptimal positioning during races is because he *might* be autistic? That seems to be a huge logical leap - more likely it’s just due to the comparatively few races he’s run vs anyone else who went through full HS and collegiate careers

I also think any of this is in extremely bad taste. What's Sahlman's excuse for running over 45 seconds coming in? Ohhhh Yes! It's the coaching. Some of you are a joke on here.

This is the most misleading post of all time. Craig put his arm out to make sure they didn’t crash into each other. He barely even touched Kessler. OP is either trolling or blind
