I think the OP had the wrong link. I was watching Saturday's race and missed the A 800 but you can rewind. Here is the new link.

Manangoi is in 1500. 1:54.61 at 800.

2:53.98 Iguider takes the lead from Managoi.

3:08 mid at the bell.

Managoi and Iguider fell with 100m to go

What a bummer.

Iguider was leading on the backstraight of the final lap when Manangoi went out to lane 2 to pass. Manangoi tripped (looked like he just tripped on his own feet) and brought Iguider down as a result. That paved the way for Vincent Kibet to win the race in 3:36.86.

A real bummer as those two were clear of the field and looked headed for something in the 3:34-3:35 range. Looked to me like Manangoi was going to win but who knows what Iguider had left.

Here's a GIF of the fall:

Damn. Not even going to tweet your employer? Might be time to check the mail for a pink slip.

Well if your GIF had been up at the time I made my post...

Steeple ace Beatrice Chepkoech looked very strong in winning the women's 1500 in 4:04.21. #3 in the world this year behind Genzebe Dibaba (3:57.45) and Konstanze Klosterhalfen (4:04.00).

Victory for the NOPer!

Fast run for China's Su Bingtian in the 60. Don't hand Christian Coleman the world title just yet...

Has to be one of the top-10 times ever. Shows just how impressive Coleman's run was.

Except does Coleman's even count?

No, but consensus is it was a legit run.

It still tops the official 2018 lists according to the IAAF. So its legit on the books (for now).

6.43 is blazing. Tied for 5th fastest all-time. Faster than a lot of 9.7/9.8 guys have run, including Gatlin and Asafa. Su is on the shorter side, so it may be harder to maintain that speed through 100 meters (remember a lot of the fastest 60m guys only ended up being 9.9 guys in the end), but this is still a big improvement for Su, who already has a few sub-10s under his belt. Expect him to to hit 9.9low/9.8high this season.

It will remain on lists with an asterisk. No record though.

She has beautiful form. I was very impressed. Everything was perfect with her mechanics, until she hit the home stretch. But she was a little bit gassed by then.
