Commentators acted surprised at the final 400 (52sec). Duh, what exactly did they expect? The only thing that would make this race more interesting is if they just keep on jogging right through to the finish. I mean think about it: If a few of the 8 finalists clearly have superior 400 speed then of course their best strategy is a pedestrian pace early on. But that's not what we see in most of these races from 1,500 on up. What we see is ALL of them employing that same strategy, which is mind boggling. Not a single one of them had the presence of mind to think "uuhhmm, I'm going to be out kicked if this keeps up. so I better GO NOW"
What is so damn "tactical" about jogging most of the race? Prefontaine would be rolling over in his grave if he could see the way they "race" these days.
00:35 - It was won by Sofia Ennaoui of POLAND not of Morocco. She has a Moroccan father and a Polish mother, however according to her own words she feels 100% Polish. And of course she represents Poland, not Morocco.
I am not surprised that Lewandowski is succeeding at 1,500 meters. The Poles to overdo everything they do. This means that the approach to his 800-meter training must have been heavy on long distance runs. This, in turn, translated into great 1,500's.
Yeah Mo Farah ran a 50.9 second lap at the end of Diamond League race after 5k. 6 women in the world championship race ran sub 3:55 and the winner who was Sifan Hassan ran a 3:51. She would have won in this mens race....
@@nathancresswell7478 she literally wouldn't have. It's all about the situation obviously PR's don't matter in a championship race. Mo Farah is one of the greatest runners of all time obviously he's going to be very comparable to these guys.
These guys are still basking in the glow of the great milers between Banister and El. Today there's no excitement. When they decided to jog the first lap, and yes, 68 is jogging, the announcer should say, "These men are supposed to be running a 1500, they're not, so we are now going to the men's javelin..." Do that a couple times and this BS will end, and we can get back to the glory of the mile.
Wow Kemoy Campbell? I used to run against that guy back in college XC and Track. A 4:01 is decent for college but you are dead last on the world stage.
00:36 Ennaoui of Morocco ? What you talking about, man ? :) Sofia Ennaoui is Polish and represents Poland. Morocco did not even take part in World Cup.
On Sunday Sofia Ennaoui won silver medal at the 2018 European Athletics Championships. She was also in the 1500 m final at the Olympic Games. So she is not wannbe racer.
Scotland's runner in the women's 1500m last year is not a very fast sprinter and she just went with the group at pedestrian speed. Of course she had NO chance when it came to the last lap, despite being one of the fastest 1500m runners in the world at the time. I don't understand why they don't break away from the group early on. It's unbelievable.
The world cup was for teams that placed in the top 8 at the last world championship and wanted to send a team. You'll commenting on the lack of African representation.
25 seconds slower than World Record (approximately)!!! What a shame!! People call this competitons as "tactical race". Tactical race is when they do 3'40"!!! In this world Cup no matters times. Only it counts the positions and they gives X points for the 1st one, Y points for the 2nd one and so on. I think the only solution could save this awful races is to copy Decathlon competitions when you receive points according to your mark, time, height, throwing measurement, etc...
A.J. Calamaro You maybe on to something there. Another idea is to have minimum split times required. Anyone over 60 sec for the 400 is DQ'd for example.
If they do not run at least a certain pace that is pushing it a little for them then they should be DQ'd immediately. What they are doing it dishonest and they should not get any reward, points, medals, money for running like this.
Cooper Morris you does not know about tracks and field at all,I being running tracks from in the 1960s for my school, and youth club,in 1500 , you haveto mostly stamina, and strength to endure the race.Speed is nothing in those race,most of the peace setters always drop out.I been going to the national stadium from 1962 you before you were born, when Jamaica gained Independence you need to shut the fuck up when you hear people talking.I been running tracks for all parishes days, distance running,In those days they useto called it crossed country race in SDC sports in Jamaica.
run Caz it's sort of disrespectful for these guys, like they've all run under 3min40 in the 1500m and some 3"32 and people are comparing them with Dibaba. Not mentioning this woman is doped up.
This is a team competition. You have to be good in very many sports not only running. Countries good only at running did not perticipate, they'd get slaughtered in the standings. This thing was won by USA, the second was Poland, the third - UK.
Thanks, Sanderus. I am not sure I am aware of this type of competition. So those guys aren't 1500m specialists, do they do other discipline as well? Is it like Decathlon?
This competitions were indeed pretty similar to decathlon but rather than individual athletes, the countries competed. So to participate in this competition and not to embarass oneself a given country needed to have a wide range of athletes to cover all discipines. This is my guess why countries who excel for instance at running but do not have decent enough athletes in other fields did not participate. It was like asking Usain Bolt to take part in Decathlon. He'd obliterate everyone at running but in other disciplines - well, not so much to say the least. :D
and this is why they are called champions until an East African takes part in the race and they find themselves at the last ends.....keep jogging, we shall meet in more competitive races
Why are these runners nowadays shaving their arm pits? It's not like swimmers who are trying to minimize drag. I'm afraid it's a rather effeminate new trend, unfortunately!
It's easier said than done, he did say the french was 8th at his national championships, maybe he doesn't have a ton of experience in events such as this
and the name of the person that won it GIRLY is just how they ran. A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL could have bean them most of the race. Hell calling it a race of 1500 is ridiculous. it was only a race of sorts for 150. And 52 sec for these guys is so slow its not funny.
Lmao at the shade thrown at the Chinese competitor during introductions
Race start 5:12
This is one of the worst 1500 meters I have ever seen. I've seen High School races more exciting
Unfortunately slow tactics are the norm in the 1500m. I wish they used rabbits in these races to get a faster pace
Lol i was gonna write the same until I saw your comment.
I'm sure you could have done better

and you too my friend :D
3:52 what a joke.high schoolers race those times.
My 2 year old neighbors nephew ran it in 3:31
last lap 51 sec . Benitz and Lewandowski Pb 3:34. Lewandowski Pb 800 m : 1:43 ;) ;) ;)

tactical races like this is why no one will even get close to the world record anytime soon
Its all about the Ws
Looks like you were wrong dude
You dumb in all the diamond league's they have pacers to make sure its fast
wow......high school time!
Trevor Regay
We had a grade 9 runner who did 3,57 for 1500m so these times are atrocious...

I don't think y'all realise that is is not easy to run a 51 last lap at the end of a race no matter what pace you've been running
Mo Farah ran sub 51 in the last lap of a 5000m before, for world class 1500ers who’ve jogged the first few laps it is easy
Yeah Mo Farah ran a 50.9 second lap at the end of Diamond League race after 5k. 6 women in the world championship race ran sub 3:55 and the winner who was Sifan Hassan ran a 3:51. She would have won in this mens race....

muy buena carrera....desde principiio a fin...saludos
I watched a race with Hicham El guerrouj, then I watched this race. What has happened?
Races get tactical, not always fast
I love this competition
These guys are still basking in the glow of the great milers between Banister and El. Today there's no excitement. When they decided to jog the first lap, and yes, 68 is jogging, the announcer should say, "These men are supposed to be running a 1500, they're not, so we are now going to the men's javelin..." Do that a couple times and this BS will end, and we can get back to the glory of the mile.
I like that idea. The rules could also DQ anyone is slower than 60 seconds through the first 400. Get off the track, your DONE.
Do one u sad bastard
Having pacemakers in the race would fix this quite easily
These times for the races are incredibly slow.
jeffwads it’s strategy
'they trade their passion for glory'
So the Chinese runner w a best of 3:46...actually held on better than expected....although well beaten he was not all that far behind...good show
Since when do Jamaicans do a 1500 😂
Lol
🙄
The 1500m is becoming more and more boring to watch. What's the point of jogging until the last lap? Might as well just make it a 400m race.
its because there were no KENYANS
moore because they`re cowards
watch diamond league for fast 1500s. They actually have pacers.
No Kenyans or Moroccans, also they realize no point of running fast to tire out.
Wow Kemoy Campbell? I used to run against that guy back in college XC and Track. A 4:01 is decent for college but you are dead last on the world stage.
He's actually really good at the 5000 - runs a low 13 and made the olympics in 2016
This is why we need pacers in mid distance races
Lewandowski excellent tactician here.
00:36 Ennaoui of Morocco ? What you talking about, man ? :) Sofia Ennaoui is Polish and represents Poland. Morocco did not even take part in World Cup.
Jim Groxx I know morrocans are better than these wannbe racers

Ennaoui has a Moroccan Mother and a Polish father
@@tometiger47 On the contrary, she has a Moroccan father and a Polish mother. But her parents divorced. Sofia has lived in Poland since she was 2.
More commitment at my local parkrun.
Lol, that's to slow. Dibaba should compet with them next time.
Proud to be kenyan
Shall i join in morning jogging guys😂. Baddest in international level
This is the oddest 1500m world finals lineup I've ever seen.
Viva. Al deborte
My best mile time is 6:37 and Im a 5th Grader 😂
These recent 1500/1600m runs have been complete jokes just like the 2016 Olympics just jogging. 2:15 for the first 800m what a joke.

Good commen
Running Debate exactly as an 8th grader I ran a 2:08 and I shouldn’t be anywhere near these professionals
in what criteria did they choose these countries?
Nazara aa gia race vekhan da... Sachi gal j
Terrible time overall holding back isn't racing
tony nash so ur saying the last lap isn’t racing?
Nice
Bell rings around 8:37
Think most of the competitors were simply aiming for a good points score rather than victory.
Прикольно
I'd go for a slow pace too. I hate running fast
where are the kenyans ? and ethiopians ?
Dernier 400m 52" 😅💯⚡🔥🔥🚨
This race record was not events close to the world record...They need to work more harder in order to beat the world sub secs..
The world cup was for teams that placed in the top 8 at the last world championship and wanted to send a team. You'll commenting on the lack of African representation.
gueroge gueroge gueroge gueroge gueroge gueroge 3...26
They should send high school runners, so we can have a better race.
Can l say last year champion is 3：50
Asian games 2018 record is better than this world championship 2018 record..
These "runners" should be ashamed of themselves.

Steve Ovett won his 1st world cup in 3:34 roughly, in 1977. And did the last 200m in 25 seconds.
Who are these guys 🤣 it's like the community 1500m race that goes before the actual 1500m championship race

Ik a few guys in hs that would destroy that time
I run my first lap In 68....
Where is our East African brothers in this race?
If you're going to run this slow, why even have a 1500. Just make it an 800
1500 meter! Noo it was slow,they need to work on it to get closer to world record,
Poland :-)
Lewandowski jest rodziena sportu
Bro 13 yr old me had a faster first 300.....
1500 meters race is a very hard race,it called for good stamina.You haveto go around the track almost 4 times,so it is pure stamina here to the end.
Blair Boyd it’s not pure stamina, most good 1500 guys are really fast as far as sprinting goes

Chris Park this whole “World Cup” is trash
Genzebe Dibaba is faster than them.....lol
Dragon Ball Z :D
Dibaba can't close in 52... The last 800m was 1"50 which is beyond woman's world record
