I see he got DQed. What happened?

Sure we’ll see when he posts the vlog in a bit. That’s weird, tho
Probably got a little too aggressive. I’d imagine It’s hard not to be when attempting to break 1:50 on a thin track
He put a spike plate on his next percents and the officials thought they were illegal
He stepped in front of someone yesterday when he was trying to move up from the back. I think he was trying to squeeze between people and pushed someone off the track. I was surprised he wasn’t DQ’d right away.
Wish I had looked at the start list before I tuned into the livestream!
shoved a kid from DePaul off the track because, like an idiot, he got out in dead f*cking last in a slow 800m race
His race starts at the 2:15:00 mark of the following video
Yikes...He's aware you can pass on the outside? We all make racing errors, but that was madness.
Wow...that is hilariously bad
Thanks for the link. That was ridiculous and no ones fault but his own. He had at least two separate DQable moves in that race. Just showed my kid to team him how NOT to race and he gasped at the second shove. So bad.
Lol this is why you don’t try to pass on the inside, swing out like a normal person. I hope he apologizes for this on his next vlog, because he cost that other guy his race and he has a public platform and audience to answer to.

Love how people here give Symmonds sh*t all the time for faking stuff but the Athlete Special is apparently not considered to be smart enough to be doing the same thing.
It would actually be a smart move from him to do it on purpose, leads to people creating threads about the incident, talking about him and giving him even more publicity - exactly what he wants.
Why would any decent runner do that at their regional meet.
It'd be downright stupid

Ok gotta agree with you there. Just saying, I'm just cautious whenever YouTubers do something that's out of the ordinary and buzz-creating these days.
The Ingebrigtsens have done similar things (pushing, trying to pass where they shouldn't, etc.) to gain an advantage - but I'm not sure what the intent here was.
Today he manned up and took responsibility on his latest Vlog.
Goes on to say basically don't ever do anything like this. Good advice.
Time to move on to the next race....

this is the most 2020 post ever
disgraceful behavior, unbelievable. I have no idea what must go through his mind to do such a thing.
Athlete Special hasn’t really improved at all since high school. Supposed to be some kind of phenom, yet Gtown college boy can’t even get out of a BIG EAST PRELIM without cheating
I thought the inside pass was a little sketchy but okay, although the shove through the group was not necessary.
