this is, in my opinion, the greatest 1500m race of all time. the backstory / buildup of el g's career, the pacing (1:46 final 800 for a 3:34 race is crazy), the battle to the line with lagat, it's just perfect
@@Jason-kp9jb the time was only 3:34 though, Hocker shut down at 3:27 race in 52 seconds 🤯. That’s the most impressive performance I’ve ever had to privilege of seeing!
What ? Symbol? Since Elgerouj there has been only failure because of a man imposed by the corrupt Makhzen on atheltics. A man called Ahizoun . An ignorant on top of Maroc Telecom and Fédération Royale d'athlétisme eternally. Hicham himself deplores the dramatic management of atheltics in Morocco. You can ask him you asshole
He was the king of the 1,500 metres, and in the 2004 Olympic Games, he defeated Bekele and snatched the gold medal from him in the 5,000 metres, and won the second gold medal in the 1,500 metres.
& what i always tell my boys who both have asthma is the greatest 1500 meter runner of all time also had asthma. You can always push past barriers to achieve your dreams
من المغرب ، أكيد الكروج بطل السباق ، و لكن في هذا السباق ، مجهود كبير من العداء الإسباني ، حيث جاء من بعيد ، و بإصرار حاز الرتبة الثالثة ، فعلا تقدير له كذلك
The king- El G! He didn't find another gear down the stretch, he did something more impressive... he kept his form even after being passed. Lagat could not maintain his speed and was defeated at the line.
كانت بداية النهاية لهشام و هو كان يعرف كان داءما يفوز باريحية و لكن هذه المرة تعدب هذه هي الرياضة كان عويطة و جاء مرسلي ثم جاء هشام الذي كان فريدا من نوعه ثم اتو الاخرين و الان تحولت هذه المسافة لما كانت عليه من قبل في زمن سباستين كو و ستيف كرام و هاهي تعود لاوروبا مع بقيريدسن و كير و الامريكان هذه المسافات لازم تكون حكر للجزاءريين و المغاربة متى سنرى ابطال من المغرب العربي!!!!
This is not the best 1500m Olympic race ever! The best 1500m Olympic race ever was 2024 with 6 athletes bellow 3:30 (El Guerrouj would finish last on that race with this 3:34 time). Second best 1500m Olympic race ever was 2020/21 with 4 athetes bellow 3:30 (El Guerrouj would finish 9th with this 2004 time). The worst Olympic race ever was 2016 when Centrowitz won with a 3:50 time...!
@@fernandoquinchia3341 Learn to interpret the text. I'm comparing races and not athletes. I only mention El Guerrouj time on this race and what his classification would be in the recent races to say that this is not the greatest 1500m race ever.

@@W-games-i7w yes everyone can analyse and compare races in order to get some conclusions and one of them is that this is NOT the biggest race ever as some people commented. Use arguments and not a comment without content not to say that is also a stupid comment...!
one of the best races in history, Great Quality video!
they stripped Hicham El Guerrouj's records for doping. makes this race among the worst

Especially considering how eerily similar it was to 2000 until the end.
In my opinion, 2024 just surpassed it

I can watch this a million times. El Gerouj well deserved and Bernsrd Lagat so gracious
EL Guerroudj Tu es Formidable . Bravooooo.
Hicine, Alger
EL Guerroudj - EPO.
We Moroccans this is our reference, we're in the middle of Paris 2024 and we rewind back to this moment as a symbol ❤

Greatest 1500m Olympic final last 800 1:46 incredible

Ru Silva did great...totally deserved the bronze medal :)

Is this sarcasm
Don't forget the EPO which helped him improve beyond belief 👍
1.47.4 - 700 м
2.42.1 - 1100 м, 400 м - 54.7
3.34.2 - 1500 м, 400 м - 52.1
Last 800 m - 1.46.8 !
La final más emotiva de el olímpicos
Un abrazo de reconocimiento sería injusto q el mejor semi fondista no Ganara su mejor prueba en una justa olímpica

One of the most beautifull things on this race was the last 400m from Rui Silva (PORTUGUESE) from almost last to 3rd place.
The king- El G! He didn't find another gear down the stretch, he did something more impressive... he kept his form even after being passed. Lagat could not maintain his speed and was defeated at the line.

CBC’s Don Wittman calling the race?
Yes, with Mike Smith and Steve Ovett.
Good job Elgarouj
Very average commentary, You need to listen to Bruce Mcavanay from Australia’s commentary.
HEG…goat 🐐
Is Morcelli better than HeG?
No
Not a chance. HEG…Goat
Bronze medalist nailed it
Silver got the Bronze!
Yikes 🎉
