CRAIG MOTTRAM || ANALYZING THE GREATS || AUSTRALIA

- Craig Mottram is perhaps the greatest distance runner in Australian history.
In 2005, Mottram famously won the bronze medal in the world championship 5000 meters, becoming the first non-african to win a world championship 5k medal in almost 20 years.
For many years, Mottram was a force to be reckoned with in distance running. In 2006, Mottram would go on to defeat Kenenisa Bekele over the 3,000 meter distance, a near impossible task for most distance runners.
Final score: 89 / 100
Do you agree? Do you disagree?
You know this is just my opinion right? :)

“It’s the size of your balls.” Man what a legend.
Wait a second, two videos in ONE DAY! This is beyond science
Who else is from Australia. What a legend 🔥 🇦🇺
Melburnian here - I knew who he was, but hadn't realised just how good he was. Offhand I think he still holds the Tan record, at something unreasonably quick.
Yeah I went to high school with him. Nice guy
Yup
Ron Clarke - 17 world records. Gerb Elliott - undefeated at 1500m & the mile.
Good to see some local Aussie talent make the list. That mullet was quality.
Wait...Mottram beat Bekele? Well then
And white
And Kipchoge
Athens 2006 wasn’t the middle of the season - it was right at the end... mid sep. Great video on Mottram though!
1:18 on his number it says Sheffield! This is my city in the UK! I think he was likely competing at Don Valley Stadium which was sadly demolished a few years ago. Anyway Sheffield has a great running scene but was just a pleasant surprise to see my city on his number haha
What is your running background?
He was in the year below me at my school in Melbourne. He was really small and scrawny. Never stood out as an awesome runner, he’s was good though. Then he hit puberty and left school. Didn’t see him after that until he was on tv. Was always a nice kid though.
Came here after he appeared as a guest on the Coffeeclubpod. What a legend.
Recently youve been on top of the YT game, and im not complaining 👌
Still waiting on the video featuring Dave Wottle’s hat
Alec Wells It’s hard to analyze perfection though Alan
Gives hope to me as I will potentially be 6' 2" and I just thought I would be too tall to be great. This man is a hero to me.
i think from 1500 to 10k its not a disadvantage to be 6''2 tall.
he couldn't keep it up in the marathons although sub2h30 is still incredible.
Fantastic assessment of Mottram. I loved that guy when he raced. I just wish he had been in the game longer. He, like a guy like Ryan Hall, was not in it for consistency necessarily, but to push the limits and throw punches. Gotta respect that.
I had no idea Mottram was that good, so thanks for clueing me in. I know him as a local runner, though not personally. Things like, he holds the course record for a lap of the Tan track around the Melbourne Botanical Gardens.
great athlete, great video. Birmingham next!
If you analyze Nick Symmonds you are the GOAT
Damn! What an awesome choice! Did you see my previous comment about Paula? Also another suggestion I'd love to see is Steve Jones. His diet at the time of racing was meat pies, coca cola and mars bars ahahaha
A HUgh Lol what? That’s crazy
@@thedailystride5407 I know! Unbelievable! Everyone talks about nutrition these days and this guy broke the world marathon record 2:07 whilst eating meat pies ahahaha
Hi, great channel. Make Marcin Lewandowski race recap from Oslo. What a race!!
Do Nick Willis next!! That would be LEGENDARY!
Spencer Mahon I agree with this comment.
Mottram is now an aths coach at my school
I’m Aussie
I did not look, but do you have anything analyzing the greats for Peter Snell? John George Walker (if you think they are worthy)?
If you can do an analysis video of Graham Hood he was a good Pacer and Mid Distance Athlete.
This dude was a beast.
Also called the big mazungo
can we get one on pavoo nurmi
V good appraisal. Longevity... he has a lot of injuries. Should have put in 2006 Commonwealth Games when he led field but came second to Africans again.
I'd say the four best non-African long-distance runners over the last 40 years has to be: Dieter Baumann, Craig Mottram, Galen Rupp, and Evan Jager. They really gave the East-Africans a fight. I'm looking forward to the future of Jakob Ingebrigtsen, and Axel Vang Christensen, as I'm sure they will do the same.
Jager was funny in Beijing 2015😂
I'm 6'2 165pounds its confirmed ima be a great one day
Hey could you do Boston Billy ( Bill Rodgers)
Do a video about Rui Silva
Analyze either Dennis Kimetto or Nick Symmonds! 🙂
Awesome video! Might be nit-picking, but I believe he's the 4th fastest over 2 miles. Daniel Komen (7:58.61), Haile Gebrselassie (8:01.08), Mo Farah (indoor 8:03.40), then Craig Mottram (8:03.50). Using the alltime-athletics database for reference. Is there another person faster than him?
Please do American great Frank Shorter.
I go to haileybury college in Melbourne and this man is my coach
i go to mentone and hes my coach
do stewart mcsweyn next
I know he is mid-distance but could you do nick symmonds next thanks
Upper 70's at best. Liked his patience, too.
i assume you use filmora to edit?
Lord Bendtner I’ve heard him say he does
I think you should have given him a 10 for running range. Because of him having range from 1500 to the 10k. He may not have a time for 800m but his times are very impressive. He is not a quiet perfect tactician with racing like Matthew Centrowitz Jr. He certainly knows how to position himself especially in a race against Kenenisa Bekele. That's what surprised me. Bekele has a 3k best of what 7:25. He deserves a higher score of 90 91
He's no where near Bekele
Why wasn't Keninisa in the 5k at the 2005 World Champs? No double?
Because he was running the World record attempt for the 10k a few weeks later. He wanted to save energy. Im glad he did Because he broke his own 10k world record 26:17 in Brussels 2005
Before he said it, I totally thought "is that a mullet?"
I really feel Daniel Komen's career longevity score should be reconsidered. I feel Mottram deserved a higher score for career longevity than Komen.
Yea
Holy shit he beat Bekele. I didn't know that!
Yea
Should have given triathlon a go
hes my coach
Alright. I'll go back to Centro on this one. Centro doesn't deserve a 9 on range if Craig also has a 9. The dudes ran a faster mile than Centro and he's ran sub-13, and mid 27's. Centro has some good mile/1500 times, but has only ran like mid 13's for 5k and forget trying a 10k. I think we need a revision on Centro. Centro's 93 to Craig's 89 is ridiculous. Craig in his prime is far superior than Centro. The only difference between them, other than Craig's superior PR's, is centro's gold medal.
Jaymes Cole Centro won an Olympic gold and has been on a super high level for almost 10 years. Again, he even mentioned that Mottram’s downfall was the longevity. It actually makes perfect sense to me.
gamerdogleo I don't disagree on career longevity but their scores on range, personal bests, and records broken shouldn't even be close. Mottram has a ridiculous range comparatively. HE HAS A FASTER MILE PR AND CENTRO IS A MILE SPECIALIST and he's also ran sub-13 for 5k and 27's for 10k. Centro has also been in plenty of fast mile/1500 races over the years and doesn't show up during those and flops in any race not one of those 2 distances. He tactically savvy, but not when it comes to fast races. Centro also doesn't hold a single American record, and he's really not been close to breaking any either. He hasn't shown an interest in going after them. People these days really don't understand quite how dominant the 2000's were for track. Centro won a gold medal in a race that the NCAA guys had a chance at winning. Centro wouldn't have anything if this was the time of Gerrouj, morcelin, or Lagat.
Bekele be like: What is wrong with this guy's leg length? I just can't catch up to him
Kek
Craig not kregg
"Greatest Australian distance runner" ? TOO ABSURD FOR WORDS. Ever hear of Ron Clarke ? Ran 17 World records ?
Craig is the Australian and Oceanic record holder for many middle to long distances.
De Castella was better. He was unquestionably the best marathon runner in the world 1982-83.
Show Boat typically Aussie.
