    Honestly, this was probably the race of the olympics and probably one of the best I've ever seen. The buildup, the athletes, and time with an underdog upset is something that is out of a script.
  • USA! Dude not only stunned everyone and himself, but broke the olympic record by a sec as well! Shout out to bronze medalist as well its makes me happy to see they're whole families just so proud and excited.
  • @jaysonj9327
    Hocker is 23. Kerr is 26. Nuguse is 25. Ingebrigtsen is 23. In Los Angeles in 2028 this sort of thing might happen again.
  • @hungnguyen12481
    First seeing Nuguse screaming and he screamed for his buddy winning gold. What an incredibly wholesome sequence of events.
  • @snaz388
    people who don't even watch track were stunned, the rest of us who knew the drama and the competitors were AMAZED
  • @tothemoon4573
    Cole really stepped on the gas that last lap as did Nuguse. What a race to remember! USA USA USA! 🇺🇸
  • @mattdieck7146
    shed a tear for hocker man. Dude deserved that. Been that guy since oregon. Shoutout whoever was running newgen track and field back in the day. What a moment for him. So awesome.
  • @vlogbrotherdave
    I need more love here for Nuguse. He pretty much tied Kerr for second in the replay due to his amazing lean! Just incredible
  • Cole Hocker pulls off a STUNNER in men's 1500m, and having three Americans in the top five. Absolutely amazing!
  • @Dog8myhomework
    USA teammates worked very well together. Well done 🎉
  • @Liam_Mellon
    As a running fan, I've been hearing this guy's name for years, as he's made his way up the ranks of US distance running. I honestly never thought he'd get this far. But he ran with the heart of a champion, and that's why he won
  • That smile on Kerr's face as soon as he crosses just reads "well that sonofabiiiitch" 😂
  • @SoupRS
    One of the craziest races I've ever seen - well done Hocker, Nuguse and Kessler!
  • @easternfed
    Been following Cole Hocker for a few years now; ever since he ran at Oregon. Actually thought he would medal in Tokyo, but man did he deliver today; guys kick is simply too beast!
  • Yared's embrace with his dad! Boy, that got me! First person that found out I had passed the bar exam was my pops. It was the wildest feeling I could ever conjure, and pops was right beside me. Will never forget it, and totally felt those goosebumps with this moment! Not that passing the bar even comes close to this achievement! Kudos!!!
  • @ZacharyTT
    One of biggest upsets in history. Huge win for Hocker.
  • @maxscriptguru
    The best race I have seen in the last 40 years. A new golden age of the men’s 1500 has arrived in the USA.
  • @condoti
    The plot twist had its own plot twist.
  • @glennday7802
    Hocker is not only "in the same breath" as the former champions, but by setting the Olympic record he's actually sitting atop the throne!
