    Carsten Warholm's win was the greatest performance in track and field that I've seen in 57 years of following t & f. It's worth noting that t & f world records are rarely set at the Olympics, in spite of the high level of competition, because there are heats , or elimination rounds. So, an athlete must be among the top finishers in, typically, prelims and a semi-final just to survive and make it to the finals; itself an exhausting experience. To then shatter the world record in the final is a stunning achievement. Congratulations to Carsten Warholm on his historic win, and for exemplifying what it means to be a great athlete!

    For me, the two others that stand out are at the opposite ends of the "Age" spectrum. 1. Athing Mu in the women's 800 meters. 2. Eliud Kipchoge in men's Marathon.
    The future is Mu and what she might do eventually to world records. The final "icing on the cake" was Kipchoge. He has nothing more to "prove" to the world: he's done it all. Records, multiple titles and a special "paced" sub 2 hour Marathon. Both provided excitement and awe.
    There were plenty of other contenders: Jakob Ingerbritzen in men's 1500. Hassan in women's 5,000 and 10,000. Plus, the Olympics displayed a whole host of other young talent coming through, including Cole Hocker. Chepteigi. 2024 Olympics is already looking great. Thanks TRP for yet another fantastic video.

    Probably the greatest performance in the history of sport. For 29 years the mark of 46.78 by Kevin Young could not be beaten. All three medallists in this race ran faster. With the bronze medal being won in 46.72, which was more than three quarters of a second behind the winning time. If someone had told Benjamin he'd run 46.17 in Tokyo, he would have been elated, but to run that astonishing time, only to come 2nd is unfathomable. The winning time of 45.94 is faster than many athletes ran to win their national championships in the FLAT 400! I am not surprised Karsten tore apart his shirt. The adrenaline must have been flowing, out shining the inevitable lactic in his legs, especially coming down the home straight. Breathtaking race. I've been an avid fan of Athletics for over 40 years and this race is easily the best I've ever seen. Simply incredible.

Even though it was only a qualifier, I have been in that same situation. So, even if it was only the last lap of a qualifier. Though not all the best runners were involved, it took a monumental effort to just finish, but then to win, come on. That race reminded me of the Scot Olympian Eric Liddel fell one the first turn of the 400m finals got up and ran everyone down to win the Gold Medal. This was just a qualifier, but the stakes were the same. Everybody was trying to win.and she got up and sucked it up and did it. So for me that was the single greatest feat accomplished.

    I have watched athletics longer than most have been alive. I have only been stunned by the performances a few times: Bob Beamon LJ, Michael Johnson 19.32, Seb Coe 1:41.73, John Walker, 3:49.4, Van Neikerk 43.03, Kevin Young 46.78...........and now 45.94 ! I think this was the most stunning, and occurred in a real race, not a blow out..
    Thanks for vid.....after choking thru hours of water polo, endless swimming races, dog jumping and cheese slicing events, this race made watching The OG worthwhile...........thanks.

    you know you're aiming for silver when you see a scandinavian model built like a truck on the start line

      Built like a truck is a bit of a stretch

    Unless someone does something absolutely insane it’s safe to say that Karsten Warholm will be named male athlete of the year as well as having the performance of the year.

    Mondo Duplantis being so young and dominant, yet so humble. The pole vault competitors are one big family. Its impressive to see them cheer and applause when a competitor makes a good jump, even if it would compromize their outcome.
