I disagree. Even though he’s a legend, in my opinion Said Aouita is the greatest 1500m and mid-distances runner of all times. He was very dominant in so many distances in the 80’s.
لكن الكروج حتى سيطر خلال عقد من الزمن من منتصف 90 الى منتصف العقد الاول هو صاحب الرقم العالمي للميل و لل2000متر و ال 1500 و بطل العالم 4 مرات و بطل اولمبي في 5000 و 1500 هل ملك المسافات المتوسطة
It costed Hicham more than 8 years to get the double gold Medaille in the Olympics Athens 2004 (1500m & 5000m). After falling and failure, it was hard nightmare than turned into a dream. Hicham’s soul and goal to win was stronger, than what ever happened to him in the past. He never give up, because he saw his victory already in his mind. That’s a character of legend….The Goat…Hicham el Guerrouj.
I have lived in Finland all my life and as a young boy cheered for Lasse Viren to win. And did he deliver! But this Hichams race is the most important Olympic race for me. He SO DESERVED this victory.
Gracias!!!!!!Hicham El Guerrouj por darnos tantas alegrías y fuerzas!!!, Grande Atleta!!!, Se te recuerda siempre como uno los mejores de todos los tiempos!!!
Bruce McAvaney is one of the greats when it comes to calling. It's only right to listen to his call when watching this great moment. I got goosebumps even though I knew the result!
Come on now I'm moroccan and yes hicham is the best 1500m and mile runner of all time but to say he is the best 5000m runner of all time is a bit stretched. Yes he has a gold medal from the 2004 olympics but he is nowhere near the world record and that's okay because its not his main discipline
Great clip. Great athlete. And great commentary. I had no clue about the story but the commentary made me instantly understand. "Greatest ever. Or greatest never... to win Olympic 1500m". It's like Lionel Messi. The greatest of all time without the world cup.
He waited a lot of time for this gold but he finally got it at the place where the Olympics were born. Well diserved Mr Hicham El Guerrouj. We missed those days a lot. Tokyo Olympics and competition were nowhere compared to the Olympics 20-30 years ago.
His story is incredible it's like a movie. We should educate our children from this example never give up. Unlucky in the first games, stressed and didn't sleep during three nights in the second games and won in the third games. Thank you for this video
How sweet it is? He goes from greatest never to best of all time. What a perfect comment from commentator? Hicham El Guerrouj you are absolutely true legend. Quite a remarkable performance.
شاهدة هذا السباق عدة مرات و لم اكره منه ، اعظم و اقوى سباق شاهدته في حياتي ، يدل على قوة و حنكة و صمود و صبر و مقاومة البطل الاسطورة هشام القروج ، مفخرة و بطل قومي اعتبره قدوة و ملهما لكل شاب عربي طموح ، كم اكن الاحترام لهذا البطل الخلوق هشام ، تحية من اخ جزاءري للاخوة المغاربة سلام.
How wonderful to hear again the passion, experience and knowledge of Bruce McAvaney. The best ever calling the best ever. Inspiring and simply brilliant.
Moroccan people will never forget 3 main achievements in sport: - Football national team becoming the first african nation to reach the 2nd round in World Cup of Mexico 1986. - Hicham El-Guerrouj winning the 1500m gold medal in 2004 OG. - Football national team, again, becoming the first african nation to play the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar 2022. Every single moroccan lived those 3 moments with tears and pride.
El Gerrouj was a champion. He deserved Olympic Gold. That he did it in Athens probably made it more special. Him winning here was Justice. He deserved it.
Winning in Athens for Hicham el Geurrouj was a honour, after falling & losing. It's where olympics begin in history. The school of all athlectics. He won in the end 2 golden medals. Bravo!
Greatest race ever! Love the comment @ 3:30. 'He just wants to stroll around at this pace' -- he was literally going at world record pace at this time of the race!
عشنا أحسن اللحظات مع هدا الأسطورة .كنت حين يقترب موعد السباق تزداد عندي ضربات القلب وأكتر من شرب الماء حتى لو كان البرد القارص شكرا هشام كنت ممتع ورفعت راية الوطن 👍❤️🇲🇦❤️
Geez....My eyes tear up every time I watch this race, knowing what disappointment and adversity El Guerrouj faced prior to this race. His mastery of race tactics is a thing of beauty. The commentating and music didn't hurt either! Truly a classic showdown between Lagat and El Guerrouj that did not disappoint!

No matter how many times I watch this, seeing Hicham bawl his eyes out while Lagat hugs him gets me every time. Great athletes, great sportsmanship.

Greatest middle distance runner will inspire generation's to come

Fawaz Alsharif I love my country morocco
Fawaz Alsharif والله يا اخي ألعاب القوى المغربية تراجعت جدا للاسف
هشام الكروج بطل حقيقي. أنا أحب الطريقة التي يحارب بها مخاوفه. هشام شخصية استثنائية. ما شاء الله ، بعد كل فوز ينحني إلى الله العلي القدير.
يمكن لك رؤية رياضي ما و لكن مثل هشام لن تراه أبدا و تذكر كلامي هذا
عندما يتوقف تصنيع الصابونة ☻
The race took place in the homeland of Olympics and Marathon, Greece.Great athlete, indeed...
It's 2023 and Hicham El Guerrouj is still the greatest 1500m runner of all time with a record of 3:26:00.
واخا تجي 2070 مستحيل شي واحد يجري تحت 3.26
nope. nothing but a steroids cheater
@@John-kq9oo Should I call this jealousy or hate? Moroccans never cheat in sports competitions because we're always the best.
He’s a doper and a cheater and a fraud. And a terrorist
@@John-kq9oou are a bucket full of cheating,,,and u think everyone s like u.
كانت لحظة سعادة لا توصف … كان زمناً جميلاً…. من السودان
انا جزائري وكلمة الحق اقولوها في هذا الاختصاص الكروج بدون منازع

What a legend ,definitely needs a movie ...He was an inspiration for me and all my generation .What a champ!

+Samia Meknasi الاخ الجزائري مدح الگروج وقال كلام جميل عادي دائما لواحد يغلط في حرف گ مع ق زائد حرف گ غير موجود في العربية حتى الجزائريين كانو يقولو لمجيد بوگرة، بوقرة
This has to be the greatest 1500m race ever.
The best for ever
Probably the best ever there would never be like hicham and Bernard
هذا السباق عظيم مين بقات 100 متر الأخيرة و كيب لاغاط دخل بقوة و كان رايح يربح السباق و كأن الكروج تذكر سقوط أطالنطا و خسارة سيدني و جاتو قوة دفع كبيرة فاز بيها ، تحية للإخوة لمغاربة خوكم جزايري
لا تستسلم مطلقا
Never give up
هشام الكروج في اللحظة الأخيرة كان سيخسر ولكنه لم يستسلم أبدا وقاوم وزاد من سرعته وفاز
C'est la seule finale que tu peux la regarder 100 fois et tu auras 100 fois d'émotions, vraiment EL Geroouj est un grand champion.
Je suis avec tou
الاسطورة المغربية ولد بركان هشام رفعتي راسنا عالي ياهشام شكرا بزززاف 😢
شخصيا احترم مسيرته كتيرا دائما أعيد جميع فديواته ....كنت نتمنى ينخرط في المجتمع المدني و يستتمر في الشرق و يجلب مستتمرين و لكن كتبقى حريته الشخصية ...و يبقى شخص خلوق و محترم كيف اصحاب ساكنة الشرق .....
The greatest 1500m runner ever!
Filmon Beyene what a talent.

I disagree. Even though he’s a legend, in my opinion Said Aouita is the greatest 1500m and mid-distances runner of all times. He was very dominant in so many distances in the 80’s.
لكن الكروج حتى سيطر خلال عقد من الزمن من منتصف 90 الى منتصف العقد الاول
هو صاحب الرقم العالمي للميل و لل2000متر و ال 1500
و بطل العالم 4 مرات و بطل اولمبي في 5000 و 1500
هل ملك المسافات المتوسطة
I keep coming back to this race and having chills and tears to my eyes..
Must have watched this video 50 times. Legendary in every aspect, including the commentary....
It costed Hicham more than 8 years to get the double gold Medaille in the Olympics Athens 2004 (1500m & 5000m). After falling and failure, it was hard nightmare than turned into a dream. Hicham’s soul and goal to win was stronger, than what ever happened to him in the past. He never give up, because he saw his victory already in his mind. That’s a character of legend….The Goat…Hicham el Guerrouj.
@@adilos30 this video just give me goosebumps EVERY TIME I watch it. Epic!!!
هذا الفيديو يصيبني بالقشعريرة التبوريشة ملي كانشوف الكروج كايبكي فاش كاطلع الراية دالمغرب شكرا للكروج ولكل غيور على هذا الوطن
wey no mames no entiendo
أنا أبكي 😭
كنشكر هشام الكروج بهدا الإنجاز العظيم
I have lived in Finland all my life and as a young boy cheered for Lasse Viren to win. And did he deliver!
But this Hichams race is the most important Olympic race for me. He SO DESERVED this victory.
Too awesome. This is one of the greatest Olympic moments hands down. Amazing

Bruce McAvaney is one of the greats when it comes to calling. It's only right to listen to his call when watching this great moment. I got goosebumps even though I knew the result!
Inediblehulk Special
سباق رهيب و تاريخي لهشام الكروج الأسطورة
و لا ننسى اللفة الأخيرة للبرتغالي سيلفا الذي تجاوز على الأقل 8 عدائين
That day we were all watching this run .
All thz family in front of the tv supporing him .. legend ♥️ ..
4 days later he won the 5000M gold
اشتقنا كثيرا إلى هذه الذكريات الجميلة التي ستضل راسخة في دهون جميع المغاربة
في أذهان
we did it again soufian el bakkali😭😭
偉大の一言に尽きる。
今だに1500mの世界記録が破られていないのも
その証拠✨

Sometimes I feel I come back to this for the commentary, as much as for the race itself!
تحية مني لكل جزائري حر ومغربي حر يحب كلى البلدين
تزداد سعادتي عندما أرى كل هذا الإشتياق بين الشعبين الأخوين الحبيبين المغربي والجزائري 🇩🇿🇲🇦❤️
El gerrouj is a legend, the best 1500 meters and 5000 runner in history.
@Arthur Gulden he beated bikele very easily in 5000m
Come on now I'm moroccan and yes hicham is the best 1500m and mile runner of all time but to say he is the best 5000m runner of all time is a bit stretched. Yes he has a gold medal from the 2004 olympics but he is nowhere near the world record and that's okay because its not his main discipline
1500m absolutely. Bekele owns the 5000m though.
5000 again
تحية كبيرة لبطلنا الكبير هشام الكروج دائما في قلوبنا
Great clip. Great athlete. And great commentary. I had no clue about the story but the commentary made me instantly understand.
"Greatest ever. Or greatest never... to win Olympic 1500m". It's like Lionel Messi. The greatest of all time without the world cup.

Su resistencia, zancada al elevar su rodilla, pisada, braceo, un gerrero. Biomecánica perfecta. Mí ídolo, una Leyenda.
He waited a lot of time for this gold but he finally got it at the place where the Olympics were born. Well diserved Mr Hicham El Guerrouj. We missed those days a lot. Tokyo Olympics and competition were nowhere compared to the Olympics 20-30 years ago.
NORTH AFRICA IS PROUD OF HIM 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇲🇦🇲🇦
🇹🇳🇲🇦❤️🕊👍
That clip with EL G and BL hugging is amazing and a wonderful moment of true sportsmanship.
What blows my mind is the determination of this amazing athlete. The look on his face says it all.
I'm honored to see this in my lifetime. Incredible
His story is incredible it's like a movie. We should educate our children from this example never give up. Unlucky in the first games, stressed and didn't sleep during three nights in the second games and won in the third games. Thank you for this video
The song (now we are free) makes it even more beautiful man.
How sweet it is? He goes from greatest never to best of all time.
What a perfect comment from commentator?
Hicham El Guerrouj you are absolutely true legend.
Quite a remarkable performance.
Hicham! No words to describe what he did !
Silva, in the last 400 meters, from 8th to 3rd, legendary run of the portugues
Silva ran the fastest last lap.
The storyline, the race, the commentary, the music.. all unbelievably good. This video will go down as one of the best of all times
شاهدة هذا السباق عدة مرات و لم اكره منه ، اعظم و اقوى سباق شاهدته في حياتي ، يدل على قوة و حنكة و صمود و صبر و مقاومة البطل الاسطورة هشام القروج ، مفخرة و بطل قومي اعتبره قدوة و ملهما لكل شاب عربي طموح ، كم اكن الاحترام لهذا البطل الخلوق هشام ، تحية من اخ جزاءري للاخوة المغاربة سلام.
سباق عظيم ياأخي.. لن نمل منه.. نعم التحدي والصبر.. هشام الكروج بطل عالمي ألمبي.. طريقته في الجري ذكية. كافح ووصل..
أحسن الأيام و عشنا هاد اللحظة بكل تفاصيلها مع هشام الكروج 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
How wonderful to hear again the passion, experience and knowledge of Bruce McAvaney. The best ever calling the best ever. Inspiring and simply brilliant.
Moroccan people will never forget 3 main achievements in sport:
- Football national team becoming the first african nation to reach the 2nd round in World Cup of Mexico 1986.
- Hicham El-Guerrouj winning the 1500m gold medal in 2004 OG.
- Football national team, again, becoming the first african nation to play the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar 2022.
Every single moroccan lived those 3 moments with tears and pride.
لا ننسى بداية فرحتنا مع سعيد عويطة الاسطورة
and el guerrouj winning the 5000 m also
Now we want to go for the afcon
I was in Morocco during Qatar 2022. I've never seen such national pride in a population
El Gerrouj was a champion. He deserved Olympic Gold. That he did it in Athens probably made it more special. Him winning here was Justice. He deserved it.
Winning in Athens for Hicham el Geurrouj was a honour, after falling & losing. It's where olympics begin in history. The school of all athlectics. He won in the end 2 golden medals. Bravo!
Greatest race ever!
Love the comment @ 3:30. 'He just wants to stroll around at this pace' -- he was literally going at world record pace at this time of the race!
To think he suffered with Asthma too. Such an example of putting no limits on yourself. Great call Bruce as always
source ?
One of Bruce’s best calls. It was special
عشنا أحسن اللحظات مع هدا الأسطورة .كنت حين يقترب موعد السباق تزداد عندي ضربات القلب وأكتر من شرب الماء حتى لو كان البرد القارص شكرا هشام كنت ممتع ورفعت راية الوطن 👍❤️🇲🇦❤️
I come back to watch this video thousands of time. HIS FALL BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES.
To go from potentially going 0-3 in 1500m Olympic races to double gold in Athens is literally historical 🐐
AFRICANS ARE WARRIORS 🇲🇦❤
Utterly brilliant narrative - and the tears of emotion at the end of it ... 12 years of running towards this almost unreachable goal.
Greatest & the best of all time. Love by an American from Somalia 🇸🇴. Viva Hicham El Guerrouj
إنه أسطورة حقا… لا يزال رقمه القياسي لم يحطم منذ أكثر من 25 سنة رغم تطور الرياضة والنظام الغدائي والصحي للعدائين
Geez....My eyes tear up every time I watch this race, knowing what disappointment and adversity El Guerrouj faced prior to this race. His mastery of race tactics is a thing of beauty. The commentating and music didn't hurt either! Truly a classic showdown between Lagat and El Guerrouj that did not disappoint!
I want to cry when i see this video ....
The Moroccan golden boy is a legend 🇲🇦💪💪💪
Absolutely amazing race and amazing sportsmanship and mutual respect! Above all Hicham was a magnificent, beautiful runner!
