- Josh Kerr had been plotting for weeks, wanting to make a statement in the Electric Forest. When the Stumptown Twilight rolled around, there was only one goal in mind: run flat out and take down Sebastian Coe's top mark set in Los Angeles at the 1984 Olympics. The Beast ended up running the fastest time ever in the western hemisphere.

Commentators actually bringing some hype to the sport when somebody does something incredible
Anal you know they were having a good time announcing that race!
@@Jetsetfastfood Oof. busted. The autocorrect
@@ziskablyat8451 Oh no.....
Not even great commentators but much better than most you see in track and field
@@lucasklein6805 It was annoying.
Interviewer: If you can have any celebrity watch you run in the trials, who would it be?
Engels: Maybe Machine Gu-
Lol maybe they thought it was a threat cuz “gun” 😂
Oh, shoot.
LMAO Machine Gun Kelly
and the first Beast to congratulate him? spencer brown, the athlete special
Do you know where we can watch Spencers race?
@@4ndy123 i would also like to know
the water boy lol
@@austinjewell4576 I went to google and typed in stumptown 2021 results.. ended up paying 5$ish for the entire meet but was able to view it. It didnt go well at all imo. :( So hoping he could really put up a good time.
@@honebeadsmith5937 what’d he race and how’d he do?
Love when they don’t sandbag these races and really go for it, the 1500m is one of my favorite races given the strategy it takes
You know I didn't run it when the video is under 5 minutes long
Actually should be under 4 minutes for 1500m
@@TrilogyNjStorm it’s a joke
YOU FINALLY UPLOADED IT
And big ups to the production crew, aside from the announcing, this was a top-notch job camera and editing wise, graphics. Way to go. And, the announcing wasn't horrible, just, you know, there's like two guys in the world who can announce a race like this well... Educated track stans don't even need the announcing, lol
This runner’s got a chance of a top 5 finish in the Olympic 1500m final 🥇
Only if he gets through the GB trials - which isn't anywhere near a certainty given the depth in standards at the present time. Notably Wightman, O'Hare, Grice, Giles, Copeland, Heyward, Gourlay and others.
Haha top 3
Fantastic race, but the commentary was ever better.
solid rabbit
Incredible performance, wow
Imagine if there were any Americans who could keep up with him and push him a little. He could have broken 3:30.
Would love to see a race between him and Cole Hocker.
@@msport_erick no offence to Hocker but he’s not on the level to challenge Josh quite yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was in a couple of years though
There are a couple, they just weren't in this race.
there are a couple...
@@NateCrail Yeah, dude. We're talking about guys who can run a sub-3:33 1500m, not finding blades of grass in an Irish field. The US is one of a few countries on earth that can claim to have at least a couple guys who can run at that level. They just weren't in this race. Like I said.
Wowww...what a run...thank you for this video...3'31''...wow!
Badass. Nothing else to say. So much solo, smooth, strong.
The dragonfly’s 😜 he painted em white
Scrapped off the Nike logo*
Brooks is allowing their athletes to wear them cause their new spikes won’t be out before the olympics.
Kerr is a possible Olympic finalist. Go Josh!
The Olympic its gona be crazy bananas 1500m race ever
Kerr was a Blurr A Real BEAST!
wanna train together bro and hit on chicks afterwards.
unreal running that pretty well solo
Post the race of the 18 year old Abdirizak Ibrahim running 3:37 from heat 2 of this meet.
Awesome Josh, great job 👏 👍 👌 😀
He ran unchallenged for 600m, quite impressive
Continuing his excellence from the World Championships in Doha 2019. Way to go Josh !
He's got a little way to go before he beats Mo Farah's british record at 3:28.81, but as a fellow scot, he did us proud.
lmao spencer being the first one to congratulate him
Thank the US for sharing millions of vaccines with countries around the world, including Taiwan. With the strong partnership our countries share, we know we’ll be there for each other in times of need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That is the most random shit I've ever heard
A beggar gets some random charity and now sending 'thanks' to everyone like a lunatic
Imagine if he just ran 1 more 100m to make 1600m!! It would've been one of the fastest 1600s in history
Josh is looking sooo good.
Kerr is the type of guy that your girl would cheat on you with, and you wouldn't even be mad.
Facts
Nah, Kerr is a nice guys. Women only step out with Pookie & RayRay
Full send! Thor is looking pretty damn strong!
What a beast! Great race!
Is it still the consensus to add 17 sec for the would be mile time?
Of so then it would be a 3:48 mile, which I do not know if he could run. However, it may be achievable and would certainly be an amazing performance
It’s less than that for athletes of this caliber. Think ab it they average ab 14 seconds per 100 meters. There’s an official iaaf conversion u can look up
@@wesleyferguson140 3:31 > 3:48
16 maybe. Steve Cram ran 3.29.67 then 3.46.3 mile a few days later. The mile wasn't an even race. He probably would have done 3.45 mile with an even pace.
Steve Ovett ran 3.32.2 1500m then 3.48 mile a few days later then a 3.31.2 a few days later. 1980.
I believe USATF adds 16.5 for an approximation.
The commentator got it wrong. Josh Kerr is not a fellow countryman of Seb Coe. Josh, is from Scotland. Seb, is from England.
This is fair. What wording would you use to describe their connection since they both compete/competed for Great Britain? This is a genuine question.
@@Tracklandia fellow Brit maybe ?
@@Tracklandia "Great Britain teammate"
@@Tracklandia I'm Scottish and it is completely fair to describe any British people as "fellow countrymen".
Legally and constitutionally England and Scotland are the same country.
Wow!
potential Olympic medal..next month..tokyo
Good lord
POST HEAT 2
Carrying the brooks beasts
Insane
That was R.U.N.N.I.N.G.
And boom goes the dynamite.
He's Thor though right?
Reminds me of a locomotive eating up the track!
I'm on one I'm faded.
WHY does the shoee look like dragonfly? it looks on fire
It is a dragonfly
Is that seriously the fastest time ever run in America ??
On the alltime list it’s ranked 394th !!
No, it's actually about 50th. I just looked it up.
my mistake, you are correct. I looked up 3:30 instead of 3:31
Had to turn the sound down as it was irritating but great run
Vaporflys ?
He let up just a little at the end, but nonetheless amazing solo run
Ran*
And done in a pair of Nike
did he go sub 3 mins?
Sub 3 minutes??? That would be a world record by over 26 seconds.
I felt cheated when he finished in 3:31.5 after those guy saying that. 3:30 could be on!
Super spikes 😔
Great run. But, I don't think that kind of performance will podium at the Olympics. Especially at the end. Ok, there was no one to battle it out with, but the truth is he gassed in the final 150m, really struggling to keep form in the final 50 m.
This aged terribly
Annoying commentators too loud.
Cool. 10 feet slower than Said Aouita
Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj, the world record holder, won the race in 3:49.92, the fastest time ever on American soil.
!!!!!!
Ryun ran 3:33.1 on cinders 54 years ago (with a 60 second first 400!) so maybe the sport hasn't progressed as much as some of us sometimes think!
Great run by Josh Kerr anyhow. The Brit 1500 team in Tokyo will be really strong. Could easily get a medal. Kerr isn't necessarily going in there as our number 1!
EL G RUN 30 TIMES UNDER 3:30 LOOOOL
Nice to see the race, but the hysterics were cringe-makingly Flotrack-like. Kind of embarrassing to think people from other countries might be watching this. No adults available?
🗣️Send it in big fella!!!
Fire those commentators now, then rehire them.
Awful commentary - Awesome run 👍
Waste of video. If you don't close to 3 mins who cares. The world is faster bro.
The world record is 3:26, no one is even close to breaking 3 minutes, what are you talking about?
Whoever commented this race must be fired asap
Take away the carbon footwear
craig will beat him if it comes down to it. kerr wont be able to run all by himself at the games, vying for position in a crowded event is half of the contest in this distance
Engels does have a solid kick but if Jakob and Timothy lead the race strong I can’t imagine him keeping up with them while I believe josh could. If the race is slower and more tactical then there is a possibility Engels could snag it
Can’t these guys run their own race; why need a pace setter????
Wow!!!
Super spikes 😔
