The crazy thing is that if he ran this time before 2024, it would place him as the THIRD fastest athlete of ALL TIME, and he didn't even medal in this single race.
UPDATE - Marco Arop in 2nd Ran a 51.1 opening 400 followed by a 50.1 2nd lap. A negative split at that pace is scary. Will the world record be broken soon?
"Yes when he has assembled the field that can defeat him." Paraphrase of La Cid after each of her world records. She always claims to have just barely won. "One mistake. One moment of self doubt. Only, a split second of none composure. One deviation in the lane. One missed timed stride led to 50.36. I am slowly, incrementally, creeping my way to a sub 50 😢" She says. Today, unlike yesterday, world record fields lead to individual world records. Push him pull him...run past him. Great commentary and analysis leads to great outcomes. Thank you for highlighting the exploits of each fan's local, national, hometown hero.
Wild that Hopel can break the US record by almost a full second.. AND NOT EVEN MEDAL!! It’s like Cole Hocker 2021-2023 all over again! Running times that would win gold most years but has the misfortune of running against the most stacked 800 field of all time!
Agreed! It’s nuts this race! 4 in single race did what only 8 men Ever have done! Not sure if he is ready for Rudishas record yet but looking on pace in a few years to do so!
I don't know. I'd say it was equal to Hocker's performance. Hocker's time is 7th on the all-time list, and before this year started, only 6 men broke 142. Let's not forget that Hoppel was barely able to break 144 last year. Improvement at least as impressive as Hocker.
Bryce destroying brazers rolled ahh 800m record by almost half a second and not medaling is insane and just shows how far the 800 has evolved over the last few months
@@jacobdoyle420Usually that's how he is. A good 800m guy sure, but not even the type to do 1:42 much. And there's usually a few runners who can do 1:42 so that's why this view on him was there. This is an improvement on his PB by more than 1.5 seconds which is massive considering he was already a sub 1:43 guy.
Tebogo needs a vid asap 😂 Splitting 43.03 fastest split out of all 400m and he aint a 400m runner.... after running 100,200 and 4x400m prelim...nah thats too much he only took 1 day off during the whole competition...😭😭
WR might be broken but Rudisha if he ran in today's time with his fitness during 2011 and 2012, he would have have run 1:39 with the super spikes and super tracks
I would like to see one day the 800m run under 100 seconds or 1:40. Wenyonyi is the most likely to do it. Arop, Sedjati and others also have a shot and the field being so good it is hard to not to push each other. Good time to be a 800m fan.
Sorry but we're not seeing 1:39.99 or faster. Thats almost a whole second faster than Rudisha. Or again some massive technological advancements like shoes or something will have to come along.
I’m Kenyan and OMG 😭 I was so absorbed into the race with Wanyoni I completely ignored how fast they were going, I actually thought they were going slow at 400. Then they just turned on the jets. 1:41.19 is remarkable, I cannot believe the possibility of rudishas WR going down is real. Insane race
They were slow at 400 by WR standards. But Wanyoni managed nearly even splits (very uncommon in the 800m) and Arop managed a negative split by a whole second.
His name is Wanyonyi and not Wanyoni. How can you be Kenyan and not even get his name right. You sound like the commentators who kept calling him Wanjohi
Did you really say that this was "one of the best 800m races of all time!"? I have to one up you here . . . it is the BEST 800m race of all time. There have only been 24 times anyone has ever broken 1:42 and 4 of them were in this single race. 3 of the top 10 times of all time were from this single race. of the top 5 performances of all time, 3 of them occurred in this race. Of the top 10 fastest 800m athletes of all time, 5 of them ran in this race. Not just one of the best races, simply the best race of all time.
I don't think it will be at all this year, these athletes train to specifically compete and peak during the olympics, times tend to slow immediately afterwards. I do think, however, that it could be broken in tokyo 2025, best of luck to the athletes.
Idk what it is but why are the 800 times so fast this season?? Before 2024, the last time 1:42 was broken was 2012. This season, 5 different athletes have broken 1:42.
I mean, Hoppel ran as good as he could have hoped for, and this was a gold medal performance. It just wasn't enough today. How was anyone supposed to know that this race would suddenly be so fast this year? Better luck next year. But not a smite against him. Symmonds had essentially the same situation in 2012 and he medaled the following year. but even if that doesn't materialize, I can be content with what he did today.
Congratulations great champion Mr. SEDJATI for this incredible victory at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games! Despite the difficult ordeals you went through, your determination and talent shone through. Winning a medal in such circumstances is a true proof of your courage and perseverance. Congratulations for this exceptional feat!
You said everything I would have said about this race. I love all middle distance events but I started paying special attention to the men's 800m back on June 2nd when Djamel Sedjati took the WL in 1:43:23 storming past the rest of the field on the home straight. I'd been vaguely aware of Sedjati and was looking forward to seeing him race again when Wanyonyi clocked sub 1:42 at the Kenyan trials 2 weeks later. The Paris Diamond league became the event to watch with both Sedjati and Wanyonyi in the race, and the rest is history. I had my money on Sedjati for the Olympics because he ran the Paris and Monaco DL sub 1:42 back to back in the same week, but I always knew Arop and Wanyonyi would be in the mix so it wasn't a surprise to see them in the lead. I really thought Sedjati's kick had deserted him when I watched the Olympic final, and he said in the post race presser that his legs were tired after the rounds, so I was shocked to see the times for Wanyonyi and Arop were even faster than those set in the Diamond Leagues. Just one of the greatest 800m races of all time after Rudisha's WR run.
Nostradamus displays fields while others celebrate single efforts to a fault. Thank you. There is no individual history. There are only histories. Thank you for telling true tales.
Crazy how you can smoke every until when it matters the most. Djesati(1500) Lyles(200) Scharri(100) thompson(100) remind us all that why we love sports. Nobody in athletics like life is guaranteed victory.
In the past, when Rudisha and Kipketer were running these times, there was no one even close. Now, there are several runners in the mix. Next year will be FAST
I love your videos! I think there is a minor mistake in the narration here. You say there are 4 runners coming in with bests under 1:41. However, the right bit there is 4 runners coming in with bests under 1:42. Incredible stuff either way, but good to get it right there. The list image there has it right; it's just the narration that's a tick off.

Unlike the 10,000m, 5000m, and sometimes the 1500m, which can be very boring and slow at times due to tactical racing. No wonder why Usain Bolt is the greatest! He sets records when it matters the most!

At this year's Paris Diamond league meet, Wanyonyi should have been DQ'ed for his cheeky action at the finish line; he leaned into and briefly grabbed Sedjati's left thigh with his right hand. 1:45
This one - the Cole Hocker 1500m was savage - And the 4x400 with Rai Benj and Tobogo anchors to the line. All 3 incredible races as a fan and former track athlete.
Sedjati made a taxtical mistake to stay at the end and accelerate and The end of 200m ....rspecially that he showed that he strong at finishes in the qualifications
Wow. The channel - the global broadcast, as well - nobody wants to give any legit props to Arop. He's like a passing thought. Y'all spend more time talking about Sedjati - even tho Arop just kicked his butt
Am I the only one seeing Wanyonyi interfering with other runners in two of the races shown? He's placing his right hand in front of their hip and holding them back. I love talent, but don't respect cheating.
Running a 1:41.67 and not even making the podium is crazy
The crazy thing is that if he ran this time before 2024, it would place him as the THIRD fastest athlete of ALL TIME, and he
didn't even medal in this single race.
I came here to post the same thing! What an amazing race!
So happy for Hoppel running 1.41!… So cool that he is a 1:41 guy now… but 4th is tough to take after such an amazing effort.
Insane, right?!
Beats Seb Coe’s former WR, a record that held for around 20yrs, by a tenth! Gets fourth place.
Edit: not quite a tenth, but y’know.
