Did he fall?

I didn't see him fall. He was up near the front for a bit but to be honest I lost track of him as I was watching the race. Still, it takes more than a fall to come in at 4:09.
Wow, he was in the lead at 800m (a pretty suicidal 1:51). Kinda respect him for finishing after dying that hard
He is a douche

How many people do you think he punched after running his last 700m in 2:18?

----------------------------------
Last lap over 80 seconds? That's gotta be some kind of record for DL 1500s!
I've blown up in races before. Badly. I can't fathom running 80+ the last lap, though, and I was only a 4:1x miler not a sub 4 miler.
He employed the tactics everyone berated Centro for using, i.e., "be up at the front".

It's much worse than that unless I'm totally wrong about who Benabbad is. I see him off the back just a bit with 100 to go and the clock reads 3:20.
Not sure what happened but apparently he "ran" the last 100 in 49 seconds.
Maybe he paused to get in a fight with either a mascot or Mehdi Baala.
At least he finished like a man would, Rupp would've canned it after 800m.

oops
that should read "the tactics everyone berated Centro for not using"
maybe he fasted and had nothing in the tank
He's a steepler. Obviously he tripped over the last barrier.

He's Algerian, so that's very likely. Excellent catch.
I know Wote is a devout Muslim and Iguider probably is too, and they finished strong.
Looks like he just walked the last 50 meters or so.

He has Benabbad boy then, I guess :-)
Different people cope differently with running while fasting. It's certainly not an easy thing to do, speaking form experience.

Why does a Profession Distance Runner not demand the same respect as other Pro athletes?
