Glad that Charles didn't let the race get tactical!
Probably his best way to win since his kick isn’t the greatest
Helander!!! 🔥
Que gran carrera de Hicks, de principio a fin, espectacular, felicitaciones y un gran saludo desde Los Sauces CHILE.
great race Charles! We'll miss you at Stanford XC this fall.
For me, it was nice to see hicks front run, rather than sit and kick. Maybe he is serious about wanting to run with the big boys / you know, that bunch of guys running under 13.
Great race Hicks
Wow what a way to win! Take the field by the throat.
Looked to me like Ayele ran Barnicoat all the way out to the outside of lane 3 in the final stretch to try to block him from passing. What a punk.
Charles is a hunk!
Huge credits to barnicoat 👏
Thought that was Steve Prefontaine out there 🔥🔥🔥👏👏
+❤
Anyone else think Charles’ strides reminds themof Jakob?
I love Charles, but that's a reach. Their strides are nothing alike.
not really
After watching again I think it may be more the blue tights/white shoes combo and more just in his final 100 meters kick. Otherwise ya it may be a bit of a reach as charles sits in the saddle moreso than jakob to name at least one difference. But what they have in common is that i love watching both run!! 😊
I see what you mean
did jacob loose the semi or something?
Good to see the English boys do well
Look at how the "Israeli" was nearly in lane 4 trying to cut off the guy who smoked him 16:23
You should be allowed to try and force them out side just not cut them off like really quickly. It’s called tactics
@@taylormeeks4948 The runner in the lead is allowed to hold their line which may result in the passing runner having to go outside to get around. They are not allowed to continue to drift out in an attempt to prevent the runner behind them from getting by. The Israeli was nearly in lane 4 when the camera panned to them. This is not "tactics" this is bad sportsmanship and grounds for a disqualification.
Why do you put Israeli in quotes?
@@MrAbuYaz "Israel"
@@HowlingFantods why in quotes?
lets go hicks
Nice to see the American win 😉
Holding that American flag up with pride 😉
It's the main race we normal oldsters can compare ourselves. My best was 23 minutes when I was in my mid-50s (and I was never very athletic). But the "5K" got too lonely for me (and I make wrong turns because nobody ever near me). I was minutes behind all the younger guys and faster than most women and old guys.
17.10 for me😅
BRAVO Charlie, if you had run that aggressively at NCAAs you would be a two time champion. No 53 second last 400 is necessary when you run like a champion, from the front!
This wasn't Charles being aggressive. This was him winning a race that he was expected to dominate. Just a day at the office for him (13:35ish).
@@DCGomez-zg1wd then explain his piss-poor performance at ncaa. Are you saying he didn’t care, was not expected to win, what?
@@isitrachelorj3953i wouldnt say he was the clear favorite at ncaas
@@dylandixon4058 how not? If he ever hopes to race Jakob or any of the Africans as an equal he has to start running as a guy with nothing to lose. Believe me, I want Hicks to be a champion. But those performances for Stanford are bull-shit. He has to run with a purpose, and that can't be "ncaa champion".
@@isitrachelorj3953love when dogshit runners think they have a good take
Can someone explain why Israel is in the European championships?
No.
Despite Israel's location in the Asian continent, the Israeli sports associations in various sports belong to the European associations due to the refusal of many Arab Asian countries to compete with Israeli athletes.
@@raph3170 Ohhhh. Thank you for explaining
“Israeli”
@@king-qi2ks one of the lost tribes of Israel I'd say.
"what is shame" when someone drops from a race... how is that a shame ???
If Isreal is considered to be a European Nation, they may as well invite Mongolian athletes to take part...
Eh they get to do whatever they want in the world with impunity.
If a mongol family gives birth to a human in Europe well he or she could run for Mongolia!
The jewish people do have roots in Europe ,in África ,and of course wherever they have money in a bank too!
@@mauriciomontoya-pv9lu
Yep.
In the Asian Games...
@@mauriciomontoya-pv9lu
That said, Isreal is still not in Europe 😉
Presumably it's not so often that a senior can simply run away from the rest, so at some stage tactics will have to be learnt & practised.
Ayale; he's about as Jewish as Idi Amin!
Maybe because the jewish competitor was born in an European Country thus being an Eurean jew! Bb
Booooring... the elite runners could run a faster pace than that for their 10k pace or run a sub 4 last mile at that pace in this race.
You think that was boring? Watch the 2023 NCAAs, Robinson and Hicks jogging till 400 to go, then running 53/54 second 400x to close. 14+ 5k, 28+ 10k.
Why is GB allowed compete in a EUROPEAN competition. Disgraceful. Let them compete in the commonwealth games. Someone explain it?💩 European athletics CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT?
Great Britain is European country. What are you talking about?
Being part of Europe kind of covers it tbh.
You could ask that about Norway or Switzerland too...🤡
Helander...Finland...Suomi...Sisu!!!
