I see what you did there.

Rubbish. He was getting pinballed all over the place.
Looked like a women's national championship in th eUSA

Another ingebrigtsen brother! Ran a messy race though and died on the homestretch.
Not sure if dive or fall, but it worked out for him beautifully
What do you mean 'another'? He's the same one that we've been talking about all year.
Think any of them will learn that running 65s for the first 800 and kicking is not always the best strategy? Or if you are going to play that game, you better make sure you are in the right position when the pace picks up

The french guy in 4th or 5th is the actual champion. The cheaters ahead of him are over agers. Appalling that Kenya hasn't been banned from WJRs for age cheating.
Look at the start of the last lap where he cut off the Australian who was leading.
Look at the old as f Ethiopians. At least the Kenyans are trying harder

He was throwing unwarranted elbows all over the place. F... that guy.

Fully agree with this. It was actually:
1. France
2. India
3. Australia

Problem is it cannot be proven. Ever. No such thing as 'genuine' birth certificate in many African countries.
it CAN be proven with testing. And not that hard apparently. It's been done for other sports.
This dude looks 30+ in this photo

I haven't even been following this farce.
Doped up B-list 25-year-old Africans running as juniors? So lame.
Returning to the original point (I feel no need to whine a bunch about a Kenyan winning a 1500), I think that was a legit fall from leaning too soon, just like BMart and Amanda Eccleston at trials.

The balding is shocking but it should be remembered Alan Webb was similarly bald when he ran 353
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ouv3sM60aaE/hqdefault.jpgThat kid was all over the track. Looked like he'd prefer elbowing someone over racing him.Kenyan won fair and square. Misjudged finish line is all as others have pointed out. Sad to see that even the Juniors prefer jogging for 1100 and racing a lap. They will get plenty more of that in a D1 race if any of them come to the states for school.

I think you mean Bibic from Serbia. The dude was running into people every time the was a surge in the race.
That Ethiopian looks like he's 40. I guess he's doubling in the juniors and the masters races

had he ever even raced before?
Haven't seen so much jostling since Raleigh Relays University 1500m when the great meet director let 35 in the race. It isn't a dive it was exhaustion from going out in 66 seconds but still running 3:48!
What an awesome and entertaining race. Those kids have no idea how to run in a pack as I'm sure many of them dominate their local meets. The Aussie was all over the place and a complete liability, but had a fantastic stride. Extremely impressed at how quick they all closed. 152-53 final 800 for a number of them.

Go look at the Kenyan bronze medalists own personal Facebook page... date of birth as September 1992!!
Same as Geoffrey Kamworor in the documentary the Unknown runner.. there is a scene where they show his admission into high school which also features his date of birth... making him alot older than junior when he won World xc champs as a Junior
