Nakayy was the prospect winner regardless if she was shoving her way or not she had the strength and speed out of all the rest.

[@felistergatwiri7134]

Eunice Sum, World Champion 2013. Halima Nakaayi, World Champion 2019. But obviously Sum's got class and is graceful.

Rogers is a killer, perfection! !in the toughest race

[@gothamparksxvx8763]

Nakaayi is totally alright. This is an aggressive contact sport when it gets tight in the margins like that. There's literally no time to ask politely to make a pass.

[@namastewellness]

Gotham Parks XVX with all that energy, she could've easily gone wide.

[@cuijin]

This is neither a contact sport nor an aggressive one. This is running.

[@no.5179]

Ah yes, because track and field, where people run and throw things is an agressive contact sport.

What a run.

[@tajaun3467]

Doesn't matter. You don't push your way out of a box. When you realize the race is going to be tactical, it is on you to find an unobstructed path per World Athletics rules. She was only saved from disqualification because both Goule and Sum made the finals.

[@garebfeumba5407]

Nakaayi didn’t really go easy, I guess she wanted it so bad and I believe it was a desperate move because she knew she wasn’t going to qualify where she was anyway, so she had nothing to lose. Luckily for her, it paid and the IAAF did well by letting Goule get into the final, they made a happy ending for everyone.

[@felistergatwiri7134]

She would have gone wide on the outside and still win the semi

[@garebfeumba5407]

Felister Gatwiri They didn’t want to make any room for anyone because they knew they were going to win the race that way. However, people are not that level of competition to joke. What’s the point of staying behind with your potential because you are afraid of being disqualified? You have to qualify first to get disqualified and Nakaayi took her chance. And, at the final she showed everyone who’s the boss. Next time people will change their tactics.

[@sashaeltekeh2618]

@@garebfeumba5407 so in other words, next time everyone should be pushing pass people to win.🙄 There is no excuse for her nasty behavior. She needs to learn to run without pulling at people's arms or pushing ppl. She is very talented and doesn't need to be pushing people to win.

[@johnrogan9420]

Usually pushing slows the pusher down...that with this girl...roughed up her competitors....then sprinted away from them.

[@victord.3197]

I mean.... if the winner of that last semi was in shape enough to win that race by shoving her way through, she should be allowed to do it right? I'd hate to lose a race if I was impeded by slower runners or less conditioned.. is it ethical? No. But she clearly was the best in that heat.

[@mokilibuzzmansurmalcolm1867]

The ugandan did absolutely nothing wrong. They were blocking her what option did she have. She wasn't there to escort other competitors. Technically coaches know what goes on during such a situation. It is a headache to IAAF not to the runners. This is not the first time

[@felistergatwiri7134]

@MrBadabimBadabum Exactly. He thinks Sum should've made way for her? Sum was not there to escort her either.

[@danielgteaching1377]

That viewpoint is appallingly bad

[@archiewoosung5062]

You don't have to get out of the way of the runner behind you; the best runners will make sure they have a way through... but if nobody complains, there's no disqualification: both the runners she pushed qualified anyway & one was from her country, so hardly likely to complain. So perhaps the message is: be careful of whom you push!

[@Vortex20000]

Nakaayi should had been disqualified . I don t know how is the rules ? If you are blocked , how hard can you push ? If you push a little and the opponent lose their balance , or you create a advance yourself , is that ok ? Everyone can push ? Where is the limit ...

[@michelleijomah1895]

well if you are going slower than the person behind you its common courtesy to move out of the way so the other person can get through. However they didn't and decided to box the Ugandan. what was she supposed to do ask them to move while almost at the end of an 800 meter race when she was completely exhausted? no. Desperate times call for desperate measures so i believe she did what she had to do.

[@CharmsDad]

Michelle Ijomah Not even close. The person in front has the right of way, the rules are quite clear on that point. The woman from Uganda absolutely should have been disqualified.

[@lakiizarungi1760]

You clearly dont understand the rules here; if you are slow get out of the way.

[@aerdraiochta]

Nakaayi just wanted the opportunity to go to the front to have a chance to run freely since the people running on the inside are kinda caged. As long as she isn't hurting anyone or pulling anyone to the floor etc, i don't really see a problem there

Nakaiy is used to being a rabbit, she didn't have experience getting out of a box.

Why is sports commentary always the same boring stuff. Like this runner was 5th in some previous race. Why not some interesting tidbits of information, like why they don't use starting blocks for 800m runs. Or about camera technologies to film the race.

[@felixlingelbach2758]

That's what I was waiting for, thank you. Sum should have given space to the stronger and faster Nakaayi. She blocked her. When she finally got passed, she realized, what she had done. Goule of course was the victim then. But she was not hindered that much. Why didn't she run just faster? Because she couldn't. So no problem for me, that the little cannonball got not disqualified.

[@felistergatwiri7134]

What did you want Sum to do? Push whoever was on her right to make room for Nakaayi? The commentators are right, you know. Nakaayi should've done what Roger's did in the finals. Go wide on the outside. Tactics are part of the competition.

[@CharmsDad]

According to the official rules, the runner in front has the right of way. It the responsibility of the overtaking runner to find an unobstructed path. This absolutely should have resulted in a DQ.

[@borood1188]

I don’t get why they didn’t disqualify the Ugandan woman. She shoved the Kenyan and other Ugandan many times.

[@felixlingelbach2758]

The other ugandan is from Jamaica, different yellow shirt. Yes, she got hit. Happened because the kenyan Eunice Sum didnot react to Halimah. Sum was not pushed. That was just touching as if Halimah wanted to say 'please, let me pass or go faster'. Both, Sum and Goule, did not respect Nakaayi. They do now.

I love Goulet, but she was at fault. She was trying to block her from passing.

[@rosaworksrosaworks9410]

No she was not

[@lukadad5921]

Goulet is perfectly within her rights to block her. She should have responded to the pushing with a sharp elbow to the chest. If Nakaayi wants to run the whole race on the rail then she needs to find a way out without interfering with other runners.
