Grant Fisher smiles to himself just comimg-up-to 3 laps to go - he knows he's got this one, he could feel the stress in everyone around him and he thinks 'yeah, i'm feeling nothing' and during the next lap he looks at everyone near him. How good must have that felt at that pace? Great Racing.
The drone footage was groundbreaking.. puts an entirely new perspective on watching track racing. Congrats to whoever was behind the footage of this event.
Nico is the best thing to ever happen to Fisher. No more sit and kicks - winning in 27:03 or 27:33, now he has to run with Nico, who's never been a sit-n-kick guy. They'll both run faster in PARIS.
True but this race was specifically made not to be a sit and kick race. It was made to get a fast time for the world standard. Championship races are the sit and kick races because you’re going for a win not time.
@@jeremiahrenfrow1268 beg to differ. Jacob doesn't do a lot of sit-n-kick crap, and seems to win a lot of championship titles. Americans have bought into that strategy for to long and it has hurt them internationally.
Wow! What a race. Competitive and exciting! Nico almost had it. Congratulations to the college student. Nico should feel proud racing against professionals and against Grant Fisher. Fisher is tough.
Thank you flotrack for finally getting a microphone so we can hear the interviews!!! My reading lips has gotten better but i still appreciate live sound!
Thanks guys. (and FloTrack). Great filming. Enthusiastic commentary. In these great races it is a MUST that you give lap times! (On screen) Then we can monitor the steady pace, work out other distance times such as 3000m and 5000m. When you gave lap times there would be a gap of 4 or 5 laps before another time was mentioned. So it was difficult to carefully monitor progress as they increased pace or fell off the "lights" pacing. Just FYI. But many, many thanks for a great video. Cheers.
Agreed with comments below on the call. It's time to send this NBC and Goucher and let them know that distance races can be prime time viewing if only called with skill, energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Any non track fan could get behind this, especially at the Olympics. a lot like the Swimming call that most of us what once ever 2-4 years.
Fisher is my favorite American distance runner, but Nico looks like the future! Almgren??? Wow, I am shocked by him. I can't think of a more impressive runner across the board. So he has a legit 11.65 100m and 22.88 200m on the record books, and his real world class stuff starts at 800m. So at 800m he is at 1:45.59, at 1500 3:32 flat, has this 26:52 10000 and he's run a 59:23 half marathon. Just hard to wrap head around. Has anyone in history had this sort of talent across all these distances?
He ran 1:45 at 19. Bronze at U20 in Eugene 2014. That race, the half mary and yesterday’s 10K are performances beyond incredible for a Swede. Injury-prone last few years. Will pray for that he stays whole til Paris 😊❤
Crazy here nicos pace is slighty faster than when he won the arcadia 2 mile , to be able to go from running 2 4:20 miles to 6 straight sub 420s is just a testament to all the hard work he dose and he is just such a great runner, there is more to come from him thats for sure
One of the most exciting 10ks Ive seen in awhile and the commentary and track energy was great! I actually don't mind when the race results are in the title. 🤷♀️
Slight correction: at 7:45 the announcer says “I don’t think there’s going to be a 26:17, kenenisa Bekele tonight”…Josh Cheptegai currently holds the WR at 26:11
The sirens around three minutes in would have screwed my mental up. I hate it when there’s any stressful outside influence during a race. I tend to get focused on it and forget I’m racing and bottle whatever pace I’m on.
I mean, I’m sure the shoes and the lights help but remember when people went crazy when Ritz and Webb ran 27:30? Remember when people lost their minds when Solinsky ran 26:59?
I am getting a uneasy feeling about track (as a former miler and 5k specialist). The base of athletes competing (bottom of the pyramid) is smaller than when I was competing in the seventies. Yet we are seeing extraodinary times being posted. Frank Shorters winning time at the 1972 Munich Olympics marathon would not even meet the current Olympic A standard. There is a world wide leap in performance. Most of these athletes have an association with human performance labs now. I may be wrong, but I get a sense that mile through marathon times are too good to be true. I think that micro dosing substances like EPO may have become widespread. Middle and long distance running may be more cleaver than cycling, cycling may have gone through all the development issues with PED's. Similar to cycling I see VO2 max results that show no real historical improvement in athletes, but times have dropped, especially at 5 and 10k. The correlation does not make sense for a runner in 1978 to have a VO2 max of 87 and run 13:18, and a runner in 2023 to have a VO2 max of 85 and run 12:47. Something is up.
Maybe unpopular take, I don’t think actual pacers are required if they have pace lights. Challenge the athletes competing to run that pace if they want it now that they have the lights to pace them.
Almgren 10k debut at 26.52.87🤯 crushing a 35 year old national record by more than a minute
Best European ever!
He’s on another level right now, the half marathon he ran was incredible too!!
.
The way they ran down the lights in the final two laps was wild to watch
Shoutout the announcers they were great
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the race.
Yes! I was going to say that.
I was coming here to say this. They really added to the excitement of this awesome field.
@@dekjules32 100 percent yes!! So much fun!!!
They gave me chills as I was watching and listening to We need this quality and energy at the Olympics later this year
The FACT that Nico snagged 2nd despite being on the OUTSIDE for the last 2/3 laps is incredible - LET'S GO NICO
Grant Fisher smiles to himself just comimg-up-to 3 laps to go - he knows he's got this one, he could feel the stress in everyone around him and he thinks 'yeah, i'm feeling nothing' and during the next lap he looks at everyone near him. How good must have that felt at that pace? Great Racing.
Just a tempo run with a long kick, he’s gonna be dangerous in Paris.
What a great call of the race. You made it so much more exciting and informative. Great job!!
Thanks!
The drone footage was groundbreaking.. puts an entirely new perspective on watching track racing. Congrats to whoever was behind the footage of this event.
Practically matches Nico’s pace in the NCAA’s indoor championship 5K. Impressive
They average a 13:26 for this race. Nico ran 12:57 indoor
@@mysticman2774 understand, I was referring to the NCAA Indoor Championships.

@@isitrachelorj3953 that’s only been the last 2-3 years
@@isitrachelorj3953 when mo farah was the best 5k and 10k runner for almost a decade all those races were sit and kick
Fisher doesn't even look tired after the race. Unreal.
So relaxed. What could his heart rate have been?
Probably near 200@@billgrewe8340
Probably around 185 to 190 bpm right after. However the majority of the race he's probably sitting at 170. Dudes' a freak of nature for sure.
Thanks for posting the entire race!
Wow! What a race. Competitive and exciting! Nico almost had it. Congratulations to the college student. Nico should feel proud racing against professionals and against Grant Fisher. Fisher is tough.
"Almost" is a stretch; Grant had him in the bag from 1000 out with little stress. But the kid is amazing, to be sure!
Distance running in the last 3 years has been insanely fun to watch. What an insane race
Well done announcers I can feel your excitement and everybody else could too!
The commentary on this video was better than usual.
Thank you flotrack for finally getting a microphone so we can hear the interviews!!! My reading lips has gotten better but i still appreciate live sound!
Dude!!! What an amazing race! Congrats Nico Young! Collegiate record and second place !!! :)))

I saw an insta post that states he is the first runner ever to run 1:45 in the 800 and sub 27 in the 10k. A complete machine.

Only one word- INCREDIBLE.
That last 800 by Grant was tough
Great coverage , FloTrack !
That was GREAT. Thank you for posting the whole race, FT.
One of the most exciting 10ks Ive seen in awhile and the commentary and track energy was great! I actually don't mind when the race results are in the title. 🤷♀️
What an awesome race! Kudos to all runners, and the venue, and the public!
Goosebumps! Amazing
This race really was the preview of the 2024 Paris Olympic 10,000m race!
Excellent transmision 👏👏
THIS IS THE COMMENTATING TRACK AND FIELD DESERVES! YES!
These announcers made the race even better
This is Grant’s year 🤞🏻
Fantastic commentating
ELITE commentators
Great commentating!
thanks!
Stop spoiling in the title Damn
What about lying instead
@@Y8080-i6z No, just a caption like "exciting 10k"
Do they do this every year? And anyone know how much for admission ?
I still remember when Emil Zatopek run the 10,000 the first time under 29 minutes in 1953-54
killer race, killer commentators
Andreas Almgren… wow🎉🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Fisher the ‘smooth criminal’. Dude looked FANTASTIC the WHOLE time.
Slight correction: at 7:45 the announcer says “I don’t think there’s going to be a 26:17, kenenisa Bekele tonight”…Josh Cheptegai currently holds the WR at 26:11
Yes, but he was talking about national records: Bekele's Ethiopian and Cheptegei's from Uganda, so presumably Bekele still holds a national record.
Saludos desde mexico 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Nico Young ran his Arcadia time 8:40 , then another 8:41, he closed the last 8 laps in 8:26 last 5 in 5:13 and the last 1600 4:08, pretty solid run
Just stunning so proud of these guys I can rabbit the first 100m hahahahaha
By a mile! Well, two hundred and fifty meters but we'll call it a mile! Kudos! Well done announcers, what a freaking great race.
All the bodies on the tarmac! What a pace!
Can you for once just give us a race without spoiling it in the title? That'd be awesome
Should have paid to watch it live
@@adamjohnson5285 Not that difficult to just not spoil the race in the title.
@@Ekzotika-g8w they do it so folks are incentivized to pay to stream it live. That's the reason. They don't do this for free.
Great run. Great announcing
Wow. Except for the 2012 Men's 800 Olympic Final that's my favorite race.
Amazing races.
What a race!
how do they do the track lightning, i was too mesmerised by that
that race was amazing
NICO!
I can't find the other heat? pls put the link if anyone find it
Almgren!! Awesome!!
This field is bonkers
How did Zack Hample do?
Thats so fast!!!!
GRANT FISHER GOAT AMERICAN DISTANCE RUNNER. NO DEBATE
NICO!!!!!!!!
The sirens around three minutes in would have screwed my mental up. I hate it when there’s any stressful outside influence during a race. I tend to get focused on it and forget I’m racing and bottle whatever pace I’m on.
I enjoyed the race commentary. Too bad it wasn't matched with a finish line cam or the overhead drone shot of the final sprint.

Way to go Fish. And, who says running ain't a contact sport?
Grant Fisher 🔥
Right. Seriously. Imagine spoiling what happens. Sorry some of us live on the east coast.
I think it’s so people will pay for the live event stream? Still not doing it.
Stop complaining, they didn’t even have to post this.
@@seatownfan no?
@@seatownfanflotrack intern detected
@@Almostoncearunner Take your entitled opinion and GFYS.
Are we not going to talk about seeing Ryan from the old Flo days when he called solinskys American record?
Almost a minute faster and they may do something at Olympics!
Wow I can run a 23 minute 5k, apparently I could show these guys how to actually run.
Sir this is 10k
Maybe unpopular take, I don’t think actual pacers are required if they have pace lights. Challenge the athletes competing to run that pace if they want it now that they have the lights to pace them.
Nico Young should go pro immediately.
wouldn’t make sense, he’s well off financially wise and mike smith has clearly been the right fit for him. why not wait?
No, Why should he? He is fine at the collegiate level and he could brake records and then go pro.
He might after this outdoor season
A few days before this race Nico said in an interview he plans to go pro after graduating this spring
27:66 #29 threw up his hand and said, "Fuk'it, I'm done!" 😅
Avinash Sable (#29) does Steeple Chase so I was surprised to see him in this race
Eritrinnnnnnnnnn❤️💪
There goes Nico
tuff
Wow.
please stop putting the final results in the title, it spoils the race
Where was Woody? Lol 😂
it looks like there's two Abdihamid nur's
Luis G? To me Almgren easily has the best stride. Everything is smooth and flowing. Luis is more robotic in the upper body
It’s those soccer legs ( national level) that is the secret😊

Not true
@@seatownfan I meant first under 13 the first under 27 was Chris Solinsky!

When this commentator raises his voice (starting with Grant Fisher comments), it is WAY too loud.
