    He moved to the right because he had ALREADY been tripped/fouled. Look at the pattern of the feet. It takes a number of run through so that you can get each one right. You then have to realize the one with Hassan's foot over the line is when he is falling, AFTER the contact.

    I suspect that it was Fosters knee that hit Hassan's foot knocking it into the back of the knee. If that is the case, then Foster's case is hopeless because the only way your knee can hit the foot is to be too close. Foster did NOT have position and ran recklessly by being too close in a race where he thought he could lurk and use his 800 strength/speed to qualify.

    Clear as day. Enter Tazman:

    re: malmo

    It's unbelievable that malmo, for all the time that he's apparently scrutinized the mishap, fails to realize that Abdi was already moving to his right (go to about 0:27 in the video above, BEFORE malmo tries to note impending doom from Foster "moving in" and you'll see Abdi already moving out to his right).

    I mean it's pretty clear that everyone but Abdi ran the curve while Abdi tried to move out (and thus traveled in more of a "straight line" movement that deviated from the group).

    Coming from an unbiased POV, (don't know much about NCAA running haven't heard of Foster or Hassan previously) I agree with Malmo.

    Abdi was always in lane 1. He wasn't moving out. It was Foster who moved into Hassan causing Abdi to fall. It's right there in the video. God, you Penn State runners are a dense bunch a parochial turds.

    At 50 seconds into that youtube video Abdi is not off balance and has not been hit. He is however, moving out. Foster never takes a step inside the lane line (he steps on it). Abdi, on the other hand, steps all the way into lane two at 51 and gets clipped. We're nit picking though.

    If you want to say any of these guys are bad racers, you have to look at every race where they do this and don't fall and say the same thing. Abdi made a move that was technically illegal but is done in every race I have ever seen. No dirty or stupid racing, just the one time in a hundred you don't get away with it.

    Well, you're wrong for starters. About several things.

    1. Abdi was moving out. Of that I am sure. The pack begins to move around the turn, and Abdi clearly deviates from this.

    2. I have no affiliation with Penn State. I simply have a strong distaste for idiocy.

    So twenty replies by malmo, including a series of linked screen shots, but nothing to say to the fellow involved in the DQ (Forest)? What's up with that?

    Abdi almost tripped Ulrey with about 200 to go in the final.
