Seriously though, who dives at the line when they're not in contention for a medal?

First of all, he should have been DQ'd for trying to pass on the inside in the prelim and should never have been allowed to race the final.
But then in the final, how many times can he push and shove and trip up other runners before he gets punished for it so that he'll learn his lesson? You can't just keep running into people and expect them to be ok with it!

Someone who always gives it their all and isn't doping.
Drama Queen. Ahmed is Canadian, not East African
High school runner from Ontario and NCAA champ
What a race.
And the Diamond League wants to get rid of that event? In what other event are there where there were like 6 real potentail winners.
Mega props to Jakob. Let's hope he gets a medal in the 1500 but he gave it his all. Had the lead, totally collapsed at the finish.
I think it looked more like a collapse
He tripped up Ahmed 4 times yet Ahmed destroyed him on home stretch.
He is a punk kid, nothing more. Overrated as F$)&
He went too soon.
Should have chilled until the final 120m. Probably would have gotten bronze.
Oh well kids got balls! Awesome race.
Why override the OP subject line yet again? Yours isn't better, man.
Prefer to see Ahmed, an honest hard working runner, get the bronze.

Yes, I agree. Fabulous race from him, reminiscent of Farah 2 laps out.
However, I have no sympathy for Jakob, who raced like a total d!ck and doesn’t deserve anything. The white supremacists on this board will cry and point their fingers, calling me a racist, but I lost count of the number of times Jakob shoved or tripped someone else during the race.
If an East African did that, you can sure as hell believe that Coevett&co would scream and whine about the need for a disqualification and fire away furiously on their keyboards in mummy’s basement.

Jakob haters aren't too smart. Jakob becoming the first European born superstar for decades would rescue this sport, and ultimately mean far more $$$$ coming into athletics, feeding Kenyan villages, and multiplying the Brojo's Ad revenue.
Likely everyone who.beat Jakob today was doped, and he just turned 19. The tards gloating over a clean teenager coming 5th in the world against a mostly doped field are truly sick in the head.
Lol why is Moh a likely doper?

Jacob was the dirtiest guy on the track, almost took out Ahmed with a lap to go. The guy doesn't believe he needs to run around other athletes when he's behind... thinks he can push his way through whenever he wants.

The hate is precisely because people make outlandish statements like him being the most exciting thing in distance running or an all-time great.
He needs to get his asthma meds figured out. Norwegians struggle with asthma!
Probably used on Jakob by someone in the stadium..
The problem I have with Jakob is he tries to stay too tight behind the runner ahead to get the best draft, but he’s just runs too da@n close, and ends up blocking the back-kick. Nearly every race Jakob is in, you can see to spike marks on his shins from doing this. Every. Race.
Ultimately it doesn’t matter here - he was not going to win the race.

I'm not a Jakob hater, but it's stupid to think he'll do anything more to "rescue" the sport any more than Dieter Bauman did. Everybody remember those glory days when a white guy won a gold medal?
