@iameskay No, they only raced the LAST 800 meters. The first 700 were a friendly jog. Duh...
They don't have an equal opportunity when they toe the line - not if there's a champion among them. Then the champion has the opportunity, and the rest of them are fucked.
Unless they run this "tactical" crap which gives everyone a fair chance to win because they can all run that fast.
There are rarely true champions in Olympic distance races. Aouita, Ngugi, Ngeny, Bekele have done it.

Ah wut?
You are talking as if they ran 'slow' because they split a fast 800 en-route, which they didn't since they only hit 2.01. Your comment in general makes no sense...
Times don't mean squat in the Olympics, a win is a win. All those athletes had an equal opportunity when they toed the line.

dis wz very unfortunate fr elgueruj....oderwiz wud hav gone on 2 win d race

The way I see it, if the Olympic 1500 is won in 3:35, they're all losers. They should give Morceli the bronze and no medals to anyone else. Better yet they should all be disqualified for running the 800 instead of the 1500.

Dirty dirty dirty race all the way through, that was intentional.
I disagree. Look at 5:08. Morceli's right foot touched the left calf and ricochet, causing him to take a wider step to keep his balance. Then El Guerrouj stepped on Morceli's foot.
Not sure what caused Morceli's foot to touch his own calf, but it didn't seem intentional to me.

Morcelli did trip El G, though not on purpose. If you watch the 2nd replay, Morceli kicks the back of his left leg, then swings his right leg out to avoid falling
