Two tenths of a second away from the world record, and you're only 20 years old! He certainly hasn't got the long leg stride like Rudisha, but hey, youth and determination will win through.

[@tondetanditonny802]

I would like him to do it on a championship race like World Champs or Olympics where we have no pacers no greenlights like how David did it. These times where you have green lights and pacers i honestly guess if they were used during Rudhisha era when he was at peak he would have broken it multiple times

[@joelandenmatten9285]

Marco Arop let Emmanuel Wanyonyi through because he lost time by going wide around the pace-maker, so knew he couldn't break the World Record and instead granted that chance to Emmanuel Wanyonyi by letting him run on the inside. That's sportsmanship.

[@esauogutu1702]

Your statement is not making sense, how do you give somebody behind you a chance to break a record because you cannot do it?

[@stupidas9466]

@@esauogutu1702by not making the guy behind you move outward around a bend to pass you (wider around the bend means further which means it takes more time). Allowing the pass on the inside means the other guy has to run a shorter distance to get to the finish which means he'll get there sooner. See how that works?

[@gracemoses9132]

Not at all he was beaten by Wanyonyi

[@markwilkie7633]

Arop always loves lane 2 for no reason

[@E.T87]

He has long legs, that's the reason. Tall runners can't run inner lane for the risk of being tripped. They also easily suffer injuries see what happened to Rudisha.

[@hillaryrutto3079]

Arop is a tactical novice, 1:03 and 1:17 .

[@triciapeterson8899]

I just commented on those moves.

[@AthleticsEditz]

1:03 was accidental and his fault, 1:17 was fully deliberate. He knew he didn’t have the legs in him after going wide previously and let Wanyonyi through on the inside to improve the Kenyan’s chances at the world record. It was class, that from Arop.

[@mdp8582]

Wonder what was going on in his mind 🤯

[@shantelmonica2972]

He did not let him through he did his best and was beaten by wanyonyi​@@AthleticsEditz

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@mdp8582 Well I think he wanted to run around the pacemaker on the curve as he didn’t expect the pacemaker to also run wide (trying to move out the way so the runners could pass on the inside) but unfortunately their timing was bad and both runners ran wide at the same time. However, I think he let Wanyonyi through intentionally, so as to give him the best chance at a world record.

[@Jojo4-l3d]

Yes sir

[@trevorwhite6391]

almost like Arop slowed down slightly because he was trying to save his legs.. maybe worried he went out too hard. Then just midjudged it so badly and let Wanyonyi through

[@factsonly2764]

What was the pace maker thinking????

[@CynthiaKan716]

Veeery consistent

pacer did a bad job here at the end of the first lap, not Arop. went out slightly too fast (that's ok), but then slowed down way too much, made a sign for Arop to come get him and pass him outside with his right hand, but then he didn't cut inside of the track at 400m and instead stayed on the track while slowing down and forced Arop way outside, messing up his race and his shot at a WR. Arop knew it was over and had the class to let Wangyoni have a shot at the WR by letting him pass inside. commentators are way off.

[@tondetanditonny802]

Arop somehow likes to race in lane 2 actually he didnt have to go wider he just had to let the pacer drop off he still had a chance on the WR why let Wanyonyi go he could even at least have gone for it and come closer to it

[@esauogutu1702]

When Arop got past the pace maker he still had several meters ahead of Wanyonyi he could have still moved into the inner lane. The issue of him letting Wanyonyi have a shot at the world record is neither here or there.

[@shanegill5091]

Nope. Lead is irrelevant. His wind was gone. When you have to adapt your speed or stride at a high pace it is energy sapping. He knew he was done at 600m and decided to give Wanyoni a shot.

[@felixmachimbo909]

Winners don't care what happened to the losers same to rich don't even imagine poor people exist
