They needed to ask Hocker about how he was able to recover from getting bumped hard just as he was getting ready to pass, recover and still pull it together to pass. Incredible effort
ingebrigtsen was the reason this race was so exciting. he could have went out more conservatively and probably would have at the very least medaled, but he went all in and that took guts. congrats to the medalists tho, they earned it!
@@4409eliot so blinded by hate you can’t even see the obvious lol. His strategy made the race exciting, heck there’s been movies made about prefontaine and he basically did the same thing
As an older (79 years) runner I was encouraged to see these fine men run a fantastic race. Well done. Going out too fast is a gamble, as has been demonstrated.
At this moment, Cole Hocker is the greatest 1500 metre runner in Olympic history! I will go as far to say that his style of winning is as good as, or better than Dave Wattle winning 800 gold at Munich in 1972. You are welcome. From Ireland.
Well done to all 3 of them! Such a great race to watch. I also appreciated how Josh paid attention to the others when they talked and nodded in agreement and approval when Cole spoke. Not all competitors would pay attention to their peers (who just beat him in a race) and show that kind of respect.
Every gentleman in the 1500 meters are phenomenal Athletes and their physicality is not of this planet. You could just tell how well they understand their bodies to compete at this level in such a grueling paced race. OUTSTANDING RACE.
Man, I feel bad for Jakob, even though he has been cocky for a bit too long now. Imagine being the face of the 1500m and not even making the podium. He will find sleep hard tonight, thinking how he could have run differently.
Why? He did it to himself with his poor race tactics. He wasn’t good enough on the day and his competitors were. He’s lucky he didn’t get passed by more runners at the end.
And, he took the responsibility for leading and pushing the pace the entire race till the home stretch. Pretty sure there will be an explanation for why he ran out of gas. Happy for Cole and Yared. Josh got a little humbled too, to be frank. Very nearly lost the silver to an oncoming Nuguse.
Exciting times for USA's distance and middle distance squad. We got some bad to the bone racers across the board in all races 800m and up with many medals now this year to prove it! People been sleeping on our distance team and now know we're here for gold!
I loved this race. It demonstrates why so many Olympic 1500s have been slower, kicker’s races with runners saving themselves for the end while the leader failed to medal. Then this one is a FAST kicker’s race, with Hocker showing he was fit enough to pull it off. I hope this is the way this race continues to go in the future, but I suspect no one will be willing to do what Ingebritson tried. He thought he was like Mondo in pole vaulting, way ahead of his competition and able to dictate the ending. Not anymore.
Very brave run by Jakob. People saying he went too hard, there’s no other way he could’ve run - going that hard was his best strategy. He would’ve got out kicked by Cole even if he had gone out a smidge slower.
Are you an experienced middle distance runner? The fact is when any runner pushes the pace too much they have less available at the finish. Given Ingebrigsen's history if he had controlled his pace early on he might have been the one to set a world record or at least come closer. But ultimately we will never know. Rest assured Jacob will likely remember this mistaken strategy.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 yes, I understand that, but the same thing applies to hocker, Kerr, and Nuguse. If they all had run slightly slower, then they also would have had more in the tank to out kick Jakob, noting the kick isn’t his strength. They’ve proven they can out kick him even in a 3:27 race so it’s hard to imagine they wouldn’t do the same in a 3:29 or slower. But I take your point, perhaps if the pace was exactly the same but just someone else doing the work to keep that pace instead of Jakob (say Cheriuyot) maybe Jakob has more left over? He’s also been out kicked in slightly slower races by Kerr and Wightman though so I really don’t imagine he’d have placed any better if he didn’t go out as hard. I think his best chance was to go hard and try to run the legs out of the others, but even that didn’t work, so it’s hard to say what he’ll do from here.

@@StanleyNewman-bk9bh no , it wasn't foolish , he loss by less than a second . I think he could have come by 800 in about 1:53 flat instead of 1:51.88 ( ahead of WR pace) and he would have medaled at the least
Love that these three took the podium. Jakob is so cocky, he didn't think anyone would be able to hang with that pace. He has no kick so he had to go out hard - totally underestimated his competitors. Go USA (and Josh too)!
Kerr's comments about Jakob were very fair. Honest respect is what you want to see from your competition. Maybe we'll see some healthier atmosphere around the rivalry between those two in the future after this surprising race.
Fair? He wasn't as surprised jacob didn't medal. Kerr has always been salty and its soooo obvious jacob still lives in his head rent free despite not even being there.

Reminds me sooo much of Dave Wottle's incredible run in the '72 Olympics 1600 meter finals. I remember screaming "here comes Wottle" over and over. Still makes my hair stand up.
I'm almost surprised Yared didn't get gold, but Cole makes sense, his finish strength is undeniable. Was honestly rooting for Jakob, ha, but it's amazing to see 3 Americans in the top 5. Hobbs Kessler has a very bright future.
That Runners World question seemed like fluff at first, but might've revealed how two Americans were on the podium. Yared tried to improve his kick to match Cole. Cole improved his strength to match Yared. It adds up.
Thrilling for me in all ways just as Fisher in the 10,000m, I loved it all of it BIGLY. Congratulations for your incredible skill and courage to win, all 3 of you!!!!
A ll 3 of these guys ran so well. Congrats. Also Jacob and Kessler ran well too. Their times were all amazing. They all performed wonderfully at the most pressure packed race. That was a celebration of middle distance running.
I see it not so much as disrespect but rather the cold realization that it’s likely impossible to go out at world record pace and run from the front the whole way and not come apart in the last handful of meters.

@@StanleyNewman-bk9bh no , it wasn't foolish , he loss by less than a second . I think he could have come by 800 in about 1:53 flat instead of 1:51.88 ( ahead of WR pace) and he would have medaled at the least
@@podawe8051 exactly , 1 think he needed to go by 800 in 1:53 , not 1:51.88 ( ahead of WR pace ) just too fast .
@@ZATHURAKEY Here we go - Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda😂😂🤦🏾♂️
@@podawe8051 feel bad , he has 2 Olympic Gold medals and 2 - world Championship Silvers plus 3 - World championship Silvers .
I really love Yared and Cole is a nice guy too ❤
@pandaman1968 I agree, it's like Cole created and window of opportunity there for Jared. Nice to see that sportsmanship between countrymen.
Amazing press conference
Love that these three took the podium. Jakob is so cocky, he didn't think anyone would be able to hang with that pace. He has no kick so he had to go out hard - totally underestimated his competitors. Go USA (and Josh too)!
USA 🇺🇸 Indiana boy best in the world so proud
Cole Hocker is a revelation. I'm ecstatic to see him win!
Congrats to all three of these guys! This is awesome and kudos to them!
This race was so good!!! Congratulations!!!! 🙌🏾🎉
Happy for you, guys. Congratulations 🎉❤
All 3 of these men are class acts
Really surprised how few reporters are at this presser.
Cos ingebritsen is the only draw card for the sport. These three don't have his charisma
That's why Kerr is so envious of him
@@troycambowhat a numptie you are!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Huge result for USA distance running. This should really kick track participation to a new level.
That last answer by Josh Kerr was brilliant.
Salty af
Spoken so well by all 3. They are great ambassadors to the sport 👏
The public doesn't care about that. The reason it's almost empty is none of these guys have charisma.
Btw being salty is not a personality kerr
@@troycambo 🤣 you big mad 🤣
@@troycamboironic cause you seem pretty salty
@@troycamboYou big salty 😂
Great content. Thank you for sharing this!
Kerr's comments about Jakob were very fair. Honest respect is what you want to see from your competition. Maybe we'll see some healthier atmosphere around the rivalry between those two in the future after this surprising race.
Fair? He wasn't as surprised jacob didn't medal.
Kerr has always been salty and its soooo obvious jacob still lives in his head rent free despite not even being there.
@@troycamboJosh definitely got his digs in 😂... but he was accurate regarding the pace, and competition closing the gap since Tokyo.
@@troycamboyou live in a dream world! Kerr had Inge in his back pocket!! Can't see Inge being on a global podium 1500m again, he will have to make 5k his primary event. That is the reality, so wake tfu!!
what a race these guys put together. will be remembered for a very very long time
Gold from Indianapolis!!
Bronze went to Notre Dame!!
Way to go, Hoosiers!!
FYI: Hocker was born and raised in Indianapolis (went to college in Oregon)
@@michaell8722 uh.....I think that's what I said
@@soonerwhirle well no, it’s not… you said way to go hoosiers, but neither of these runners are a hoosier. so the clarification that hocker went to oregon makes sense…
Let's go!
@@lukedang8759 Hoosier means a person from Indiana. The term was around long before the University of Indiana made it their mascot.
King Cole! Best runner on the planet! Feel so good about his win. Love Kerr too. Jakob with that ridiculous pace. Wow, just wow
😮
What a race.. *Love it*
Lesson is *Don't pay much attention to the media hype*
*FOCUS on you & RUN YOUR RACE* 🏃♀️ 😊
Three humble gentlemen!
So happy to see such a great athlete and a human being, Cole, you are my new hero! So humble, naive, and respectful... aaaannnddd FAST!
Josh Kerr is very articulate, and inciteful. Class act.
Good to see Nuguse get a medal...one of the best 1500 meter races I've seen.
It's Yar-ed not Yar-ad! Say my name right!! I❤it😅😅😂
Brilliant interview Josh! Very professional, all 3 off you!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
1500m has some extremely talented guys. The talent pool is very high. You can never underestimate the next person.
Class acts from all. I used to dislike Kerr but not anymore. He’s done a lot for the sport and the guy loves to compete.
Way to make America proud Hocker! 🇺🇸
Reminds me sooo much of Dave Wottle's incredible run in the '72 Olympics 1600 meter finals. I remember screaming "here comes Wottle" over and over. Still makes my hair stand up.
I'm almost surprised Yared didn't get gold, but Cole makes sense, his finish strength is undeniable. Was honestly rooting for Jakob, ha, but it's amazing to see 3 Americans in the top 5. Hobbs Kessler has a very bright future.
I thought the pacemaker did a brilliant job in this race, although I was surprised to see he ran all the way to the finish. 😂😂
That Runners World question seemed like fluff at first, but might've revealed how two Americans were on the podium. Yared tried to improve his kick to match Cole. Cole improved his strength to match Yared. It adds up.
I was in the stadium that night and the atmosphere was amazing!
Just a great video and so clever are those 3 athletes really deserve their medals.. Inga DK.
Thrilling for me in all ways just as Fisher in the 10,000m, I loved it all of it BIGLY. Congratulations for your incredible skill and courage to win, all 3 of you!!!!
The empty seats are pretty depressing for the best race of the Olympic Games so far.
A ll 3 of these guys ran so well. Congrats. Also Jacob and Kessler ran well too. Their times were all amazing. They all performed wonderfully at the most pressure packed race. That was a celebration of middle distance running.
Very nice interview
Amazing race!
Norway Nike ad not looking so good now. 😅
@@lukelee3 he set the pace though…can’t take that away from him.
Josh has no respect for Jakob 😂
“I was less surprised he didn’t medal”
I see it not so much as disrespect but rather the cold realization that it’s likely impossible to go out at world record pace and run from the front the whole way and not come apart in the last handful of meters.
Thanks to Jakob Ingebrigtsen, without whom this would not be possible.
Gotta love finishing 4th.
