Laura ran a perfect race. She conserved her energy at the beginning and the middle of the race while steadily moving up in position. She was at her strongest at the bell lap while her competitors were at their weakest. With a little more than one lap to go she took the lead and glided away from her competitors. It doesn't get any better that that as far as racing tactics and she made it look easy. Laura is a class act because she sat down next to her competitor and provided comfort and support to a fellow racer who probably though she had a chance to win the race. Thanks for covering this race!
European championship march 2023, Istanbul. Laura, Laura, Laura - no! Nobody doubted that Laura Muir will win this race. She belonged to the very best three runners of the world these days. I remember this race. The surprising thing here was that Claudia Bobocea from Romania came out second after a big fight with polish Sofia Ennaoui, her biggest success and tears of joy. Seen her many times always going aggressivly into the first laps but then falling back. Not this time. Congratulations Claudia also under this video!
As it was a gold medal race, Laura was not trying to run fast! She was running to win! Running inconspicuously in last place yet marking and tracking the lead runners strategically plotting her next move! Well done! Thanks for covering!
@@slyspy9819 Clueless would have been an improvement on this rambling drivel. If you're going to try and commentate show some respect and use the competitors name, not "the girl from Poland". He may be better employed counting pebbles on the beach - gagged.
Just found your site yesterday, Nov. 12th, 2024. The old clip of Muir's world class record! Now this one, wow! Thnx4 putting Ms Muir on RUclips! What a fantastic athlete! Beautiful to watch... Great commentary 👌
Laura Muir only looks beatable when she faces the best African distance runners. She looks like she's simply in better shape than the other European runners. That's been true for several years.
Girl? Laura is 31 years of age and an Olympic silver medalist! You speak of her as if she just caught the bus from high school and after the race has to get home to do her homework!
I'm 61 but if someone called me a boy I wouldn't find it rude. We are living in strange times when everyone is angry I think the word women sounds rude I prefer to use ladies.
@felixlingelbach2758 ... it is not correct to do commentary like this guy (if he wants to be taken seriously) ... but then he makes so many errors which reveal his lack of understanding of the sport.
Please can you stop saying "girl"? Its very rude. She is an athlete. Better that, call her by her name. Like you do with the male athletes you provide commentary on.
Unfortunate click bait. If she were just out of college and unknown, the use of "girl" would have been less inappropriate. I agree she is best addressed as an athlete.
Scotland is not an independent nation. It's part of the United Kingdom (UK) along with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The Union Jack represents the UK, not England.
Why do you not say her correct name? She is Laura the flying Scotswoman! Scotland has produced some great athletes! We are totally different from the Africans we buy a bag for life they often carry goods on their heads so are a tough breed! Any white person beating a African runner is a huge achievement! Scotland has some world beaters both men and woman so very well done! Hard graft produces rewards! Cheers Mark!
Laura 31 years old and for a Athlete that is quit an accomplishment to Still be running at her age. Also she is still a Great runner. To me she is still a Little girl{I'm 80}, I have shirts Older than her.😅🤔..
She would have used an excess of energy running from last to 3rd in a fast paced 1500m. And potentially gone into the red to do it. Obviously she is so good she can get away with it. But very few people can! Still didn't make the run easy for herself though.
Dreadful, dreadful commentary. Unbelievably uninformed on every possible level - the race, the athletes.. the times, the tactics - the lot. The only running "The Runner" ever appears to have done is for the bus, and he probably missed that. Just awful.
.....so she is the new european champion. you put such a title like is some sort of surprise a scot can win an european competition. We are not shocked about that I'm writing from europe
Laura Muir is in her 30’s, is an Olympic Medalist, World Championship Medalist, and holds many track records. Not just some “Scottish Girl”.
unfortunately, that's the nature of click bait titles. I've seen worse and I think this video was pretty good otherwise.
The dividing line is simple - in high school - it's "Boys" and "Girls" sports. Once they're in college, it switches to "Men's" and "Women's".
The great Laura Muir is just another Scottish girl 🤣
well if she's that old she should be at home cooking her husbands dinner
Admittedly in her prime she was great but as an athlete you have to know when its time to retire.

Why add a review on a race that was 18 months ago? Also the Belgian was Claudia Bobocea who is Romanian. Get your facts right.

Lordy Gawd, save us from the commentator
He was clueless

1) The 2nd place runner ran an excellent race.
2) The 2nd place runner is named Claudia Bobocea.
3) The 2nd place runner is Romanian, not Belgian.

Girl!!! Stop saying that.
They call themselves girls, heard it many times, and they got a reason for doing so.

@@glennlatimer1891he hasn't got much knowledge of these races he posts...🙄
@lizgreen2936 agree. he is awful as a commentator
Why?
haha, the commentator said exactly what i said in a comment " most of us cannot sprint as fast as the pace they are maintaining . "
Dangerous to run like that. Gottta go out fast to win the big ones.
Please can you stop saying "girl"? Its very rude. She is an athlete. Better that, call her by her name. Like you do with the male athletes you provide commentary on.
It’s not rude at all.
Of course it is rude. She is not a child. Would you like to be described as a boy?
@@daveabson8052 In your opinion it is and in my opinion it isn’t.
She is a girl though. Relax
Unfortunate click bait. If she were just out of college and unknown, the use of "girl" would have been less inappropriate. I agree she is best addressed as an athlete.
Don't watch the video thank me later.
If Laura is Scottish, why hasn't she got her country's flag beside her name during the pre-race run-down, instead of the Union Jack?
Scotland is not an independent nation. It's part of the United Kingdom (UK) along with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The Union Jack represents the UK, not England.
How about Josh Kerr
Great tactics by both Muir and the Belgian runner. Excellent analysis too -- thanks.
she is Romanian. not good commentary at all
@@glennlatimer1891 Don't be sad, Glenn. Your tall Belgian friend put up a great fight against the Scottish girl!

Belgian, not Belgium. An athlete from Belgium is Belgian.
The title seems to imply that she was a young Scottish schoolgirl, but that is not the case. Laura Muir has been around for years.
Not close at all. Laura played that perfectly
The Belgian athlete is a Romanian, Claudia Bobocea
Grandissima Atleta, Brava MUIR, atleta eccezionale.
Scottish girls are all really fast at running they run so fast you can't keep up!
Lots of practise, running from the police
No surprise Laura is quality

good lookin bird !
Well done Girl
Romanian not Belgian. Do your homework if you don't know the athletes. Try Google
He doesn't all the names. He's looking at the flags on the screen and the blue looks black. So the romanian flag becomes the belgian flag.
@kevinthebest626 exactly, he is a terrible commentator with little knowledge
They look like girls in my high school in 1969.....slim
Laura has been an elite athlete for nearly a decade and has won medals at every major championship, what’s with the “Scottish girl” thing.
Belgian runner, not Belgium runner. *FEWER medals, not Less.
Actually Romanian, but yeah
The Runner… clearly not a runner.
Class lady
Close? Were we watching the same race?
Good commentary, except for that.
Wot? No hotdogs?😊
Ah no names for Laura to really worry about and she easied up towards the line thats the reason it looked like she was being caught, not. Juhaptergee
put a sock in it
Bobocea is not Belgian, she is Romanian - do your self a favour and check the facts!
No one know what championships this was and no one knows how many years old the race is either, but who cares?
The Class Act in the field - Not just a `Scottish Girl`.
.....so she is the new european champion.
you put such a title like is some sort of surprise a scot can win an european competition. We are not shocked about that I'm writing from europe
the skirts are no good at sport so this is unusual
Camera work SUCKED
Humans... 4 billion years of evolution...
How about knuckle scraper, or tree dweller, Mayhaps homosapien, or; I know, human, how's that..... "muppets"
Why are you posting old news-waste of time.
save the drama for your mamma! She had complete control of that race and easily won!
Crap commentator on work experience? Can't name anyone apart from Muir.
This video need better commentary or none at all. Very irritating.
What's will the constant " Scottish Girl " comment?
ya,ya,ya they are europeans. no kenyans. Faith etc. who cares.
The commentary was ridiculous nonsense, annoying, full of the commentator’s opinions. Just filling air time, get rid of the ‘boy’!
Excellent storytelling, and good production values. Really a pleasure. I will start paying more attention to you. I like it.
Appalling video. You might think the content provider might actually know who SCOTTISH GIRL is. Click Bait rubbish,
your voice is annoying..
And so? Theres always the Option to not watch the Video...
I agree, sounds a bit AI to me.
Hm. Is this a kiddy’s guide to athletics? Simple Simon says…….amateur-ish. Also, try pronouncing the others ‘foreign’ names. A waste of time.
This race is from 2 years ago, dude. What's your point?
