Farken ran like he belonged in the final. Did this run prove he was impacted by Hocker and the DQ was legit?
I also asked him if Geordie Beamish would have won tonight’s race.

Always tough to pull the "would a guy not even in the race have won it?" card out on a world final but you have to say, it's hard to imagine a race that would have suited the former world indoor 1500m champion better than that.
Farkens performance today means nothing in the context of the other night, totally different races. He is very fortunate Hocker decided to do what he did because if Hocker hadn't touched him he wouldn't have even been here.
I would have asked, would Femke Bol have won?
Nor Hocker.
Top 8 is very important for the funding of athletics federation by German government.

The DQ was "legit" regardless of how Farken did in the final. This raced proved nothing that wasn't already obvious to everyone other than you and a few other idiots.
Did he "[run] like he belonged in the final"? He finished .63s behind 5th. At no point was he in contention. The fact that you even bring up Beamish shows that everyone knows it was a kicking race, absent a certain someone known for his kick...

In a final that started that slow and ran slow for so long, everyone that didn't make the final could have looked like they belonged in the final. The kickers still would always prevail.
This is a broken logic. How Farken does in the final doesn't change what Hocker did and if it broke the rules or not.
Yes.
And yes.

I agree. Rojo's premise is a complete logical disconnect.
I don’t think Beamish would have won tonight. I’m a huge Beamish fan but he has typically struggled with rounds. He’s never shown that he can run a great race after having two rounds in the legs. Look at Laros. There is a massive difference between a one-off diamond league and even two rounds, compared to three. Beamish is incredibly talented, but let’s put some respect on Nader now.
Wanyonyi would have won that. Maybe even Hoey.
rojo and LRC admins didn't swallow the result of WC 1500m.
In the last LRC ranking, some users complained about the fact Nader was underrated.

Let's be blunt: Rojo utterly *sucks* at logic.
The amazing part, though, is that he often seems to genuinely *believe* he's some kind of elite intellect. Even as he's constantly spouting such awesome dumb-assery a fairly sharp 6th-grader could cut it to pieces.
At the same time he seems to fully subscribe to the idiotic notion held dear by many *other* dim-wits that 'creating controversy' (by spouting off whatever idiocy pops into his head in a given second) somehow enhances the quality of the forum, when what it *really* does is just greatly detract from the experience of reading it, and make folks less likely to want to be here.

This is like saying Clayton Murphy woulda beat Centro if he ran the 15 in rio
Very well spoken and thoughtful individual. I'd much rather listen to him speaking than hocker.
