It's 2021 and Faith Kipyegon has been winning 1500m ever since so Mr. Commentator it was not because of Dibaba's injury but because of her hard work. Quick Update. She also won Oregon world championship in 2022.
My hats off to Faith Kipyegon, that 22 year old gal just gave it all. I guess she had studies Dibaba over several races. Its takes a great challenge from a great runner like Dibaba for a youngster to believe. And yes she did. Great run by the east Africans.
Injury gave the Kenyan opportunity my foot. The commentator should know people. Give credit where it's due. Faith worked so hard to win the race. Respect to Dibaba but as a Kenyan, much respect to Faith.
@@martinyegon540 maybe i do the same next time. Its super annoying. And they spoilt the race in the final 200min switching their focus on Muir who was beeing overtaken like a shadow.
You can see what a genuine great person Genzebe is. At first she was disappointed in her own race, but then when she saw the joy of her friend Faith, she became happy for her and hugged her. (Notice how none of the other runners did)
Looter Jr actually it showed a scene where Jenny Simpson and Laura Weightman were congratulating each other so Dibaba and Kipeygon weren’t the only ones.
Faith Kipyegon and Jenny Simpson are the 2 athletes that impressed me most in this race. Look how far Jenny came to take bronze. She ran her own race and almost rewarded with silver 🙌🏾
If there are ever three sure bets in athletics before a race begins...they would be Usain Bolt, Eliud Kipchoge and Faith Kipyegon. Put them in a finals and you are sure they are winning gold...
@@familyspooner5394 nobody cares about if. Dibaba didn't ever race she raced. The majority of them yes but not all of them. When a runner put his sweat to win, you gotta give that to him/her.
It is so unfair to Faith for the commentator to say that Faith did not win because of all the effort, years of hard work, and determination/dedication she put into the race but because Dibaba had a toe injury. Faith took Gold because her hard work put her in a position to do so and not because Dibaba leg pinky was feeling an owwwie.
That part really pains every time I watch this clip....yes Gezebe is an incredible athlete but its soo un fair to take the credit from Faith in such a stupid manner.
The hug between Dibaba and Faith was absolutely GENUINE INDEED! PURE SPORTSMANSHIP LOVE IT👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖, I can't help but watch this video OVER N OVER N OVER I DON'T / CAN'T GET TIRED OF IT👌
On a normal race, Dibaba had done enough to win i.e she expended all her energy giving the other runners a gap on the first 300 meters or so of the last lap. That strategy didn't work though, Kipyegon stayed with her all through, and struck when Dibaba was all but done...Kipyegon did us proud...up Kenya!
Yeah. She wouldnt say it, but she was hindered in training with a toe injury. The Kenyan had enough class to capitalize on that. But Genzebe is still the real deal. Nice how she copies here sister's grace and humility.
if she was not 100% she could not have competed with the rest, the problem is that she doesn't have power anymore and she doesn't have the final kick, in my opinion she is done.
My, my! That is so wrong-sided! It is because she is of a special class that she could have competed the way she did, even though she had the hindrance of an injury. How quick we are to discard true champions and class the minute they fail. But the future will tell. Again, congrats to the Kenyan but lets not discredit a phenomenal talent on a bad day.
the time is almost 20 seconds slower than 'Dibabas' world record. . the fix is in . . she let her win. . i must say she's incredibly good looking besides having incredibly good looking legs. lol, watching again she has specially made frilly underwear custome made just for her. . lol i'm glad she did!
FAITH IS SUCH AN INSANELY STRONG ATHLETE THE SPRINT FOR HOME WITH TWO LAPS TO GO,WOWWWWW! BUT WHAT MADE ME CRY N WHAT I BELIEVE WAS BEAUTIFUL INDEED WAS WHEN DIBABA WENT TO CONGRATULATE HER, TOTAL SPORTSMANSHIP, ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE 😘 😚!
Very sportswomanship if that is grammatically correct. Both of them are really good. I love two duels the most; Ayana V Obiri in 5K, Kipyegon V Dibaba in 1.5K
Stop it all of yall. As an Ethiopian that Loves and supports the Dibaba's family this race goes clearly to Faith. Not all of us get to have an excuse, injured or not she did her best and lost. If she was in pain she shouldn't have raced in first place besides she is the record holder and they loved and adored each other as a fellow contestants. Respect for Faith for winning this incredible race and respect for Dibaba for trying her best even when being injured.
Faith Kipyegon has proven all her doubters wrong with her world record in Florence. After her win in Rio, the commentator mentioned the injured athlete. Her win in London 2017 was labelled as unpredictable by the commentators. She is now without doubt the GOAT of middle distance running
The cameraman was so biased too. how could he pan from where the action was, Kipyegon overtaking Dibaba to the battle for bronze...sad. congrats queen faith
The race couldn't have set up better for Kipyegon,........and she knew what to do with the opportunity. She was never in trouble nor impeded.........When Dibaba finally broke for the lead, Laura Muir went right with her while Faith pulled up into 3rd position with a smooth stride. Laura Muir made sure that Faith won this race;....... not intentionally mind you, but the race Laura ran set the table for Faith like she dreamed it could happen. Coming off the last turn on the 3rd lap, Kipyegon went wide to challenge Laura and Genzebe,.......... even though she didn't have to at that point. A wide turn loses ground for the runner, so when Faith did that willingly,........... it could only mean that she had plenty left. Laura Muir pushed Genzebe when she bolted to the lead about mid race. Laura ran very hard and stayed on Genzebe's shoulder so that Dibaba could feel her right there. Dibaba couldn't let her take the lead,. not in the Olympic gold medal race, so she had no choice but to use extra energy to keep the lead. Laura ran on her hip for a lap and a half, essentially wearing Dibaba down enough for Faith to do her thing. While the two leaders battled and pressured each other, Faith slid into 3rd position, watching and waiting to pounce. She was calm and relaxed,............. drafting behind those two while they fought the breeze. Faith not only won but she won big at the best possible time. The joy she expressed was as real and genuine as can be. When an athlete works so hard for so long, and finally the dream comes, the look on their face is as enjoyable to see as the race itself. This young lady,......Faith Kipyegon, was beaming with glee,..........tears flowing like a fountain,.......... and I loved to see it. Faith Kipyegon,...if you read this message,............you did a fantastic job and I'm your new best fan. God Bless you honey,....Mark
@@mwatu_wa_ngoma when they're running that fast there's a small drafting effect. Muir's pushing of Dibaba allowed Kipyegon to draft without expending energy. Muir's pushing of Dibaba also kept the pace high, discouraging other runners from coming up onto the shoulder of Kipyegon. Tactics are part of it, not saying that Kipeygon didn't deserve it, but the race broke perfectly for her. There is such a thing as luck in sports when the athlete's abilities are within 1% of each other. Still can't take it away from Kipeygon because Dibaba could have chosen different tactics.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 However thus race was run Kipyagon would have won. If the "drafting effect" was what made the difference Dibaba would have finished much, much closer to Kipyagon. Faith Kipyagon aside from a period recovering her fitness and form after having a baby which included the time in which the 2019 world championship was run has been without any doubt the best 1500m athelete in the world since 2016.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 I wasn't disputing that there is such a phenomenon, my point was that any advantage Faith gained was not the difference between winning and loosing. Even without that advantage( drafting is of real significance when an athelete can take advantage of it over much longer distances as although it is a real thing when it's for such a relatively short time the advantage only amounts to a difference if measured in distance way less than the winning margin) Faith would have still won comfortably. The reality is that since Faith Kipyagon fully matured as a 1500m athelete( from around 2016 to present, excluding a period after childbirth through 2019 when she had to recover her fitness and form) no other runner has been able to live with her finishing speed and strength.
I’ve been watching faith from the first time she set her foot in the fields…She’s really doing an amazing job, always doing her best… how I wish to watch her one on one … hopefully not more than 3 years from now….. faith you’re really amazing ,I like the way you do it❤️
God bless Kipyegon. She did Kenya proud, just by faith in Our God. May God strength you Faith in every race. Beautiful girl. Congratulations Dibaba. We love you neighbor. You brought the best out of Kipyegon.
7 years and a baby later, Faith Kipyegon is the gift that still keeps giving. World records in both the 1500m and 5000m within a week of each race. woow what an achievement. Hardwork and Persistence do pay off
How many are here after the Kipyegon Tokyo win?The commentators said Kipyegon won because Genzebe had an injury which is very shameful,where are they now?
This here is why mid/distance events are so much more exciting to watch than sprints where you blink and you've missed out. Athletes can change things up and react to different strategies and whatever the competition throws at them. Tactically the most exciting races for me at the Olympics were 1500m, 5000m, and 10,000m for the women and 800m, 10,000m, the steeple and the marathon for men. But sometimes, overthinking strategies might turn into a disaster for favourites and make for a complete snooze fest that the men's 1500m was. Spectators didn't get their money's worth for that one.
Contrary to what many thought, I believed that Faith Kipyegon had what it takes to beat Genzebe Dibaba given her (Kipyegon's) recent performances. Even went Genzebe beat her in Beijing 2015, it was largely because in the last 200m or so Sifan Hassan came between her and Dibaba and that interfered with Kipyegon's game plan. Kipyegon was then forced to chase Hassan (whom she overtook) before getting to Genzebe, but by then Genzebe was on her way to the finish line.
Absolutely terrible coverage. We missed the most important part of the race as the winner was making her decisive move the camara was watching the 3rd and 4th for a prolonged period, the race was essentially over when we got back to the gold medal battle. Totally spoilt a wonderful race.
It's been 8 years and 3 Olympics and Kipyegon has only lost a major final in the 1500 ONCE (and it was her season back from childbirth). There's a reason why she's so dominant and it's just because there's no way to run this race that does not favor her. She has the best pace across 1500 and also the best kick in the last 200/400/800. Everyone else will be run down and no one can catch her.
1:57.8 for the last 800m! That would put her in contention for a medal in the 800... leaving aside the fact that she'd already run an additional 700m. Brilliant running!
It's a running start, though. In a 800 meters race you have to accelerate from a standing position. Most of these ladies lack the speed to content with top 800 meter runners
@@roddo1955 The "running start" is more than negated by having already run 700m even at a steady pace. Anyone that can run a last 800m in around 1.57 can easily do that at 800m which by the way Faith showed us in 2020. Only Kipyagon ran that time for the last 800m if you noticed the other ladies were some way behind.
good to see one kenyan girl beating all those ethiopians.congrants faith for beating genzebe and all those ethiopians including sifan hassan. kenya forever
I just cant get over how Ms. Faith was in number 17 or something..... Yes, that is how you beat the fave...... Ms. Kipyegon, run, gal..... run.... we were cheering you like we were there....
Fast forward to 2021, and you realize that this wasn't as wild an upset as you thought back then. It was simply a head-to-head between the fastest 1500 runner ever, and the greatest 1500 runner ever.
the thing about running is that the Africans have very high advantages because Africa has mostly high elevation, so when they train there they train their hearts to produce more blood cells to compensate for the less oxygen. But when they compete at a lower elevation they have an advantage over the other runners because they have more blood cells being pumped from the heart.
Faith the Lone, Kenyan, You are Great. No Show offs, almost Unnoticed. Small among the big girls. What apride for our country, None to gang up with. Congrats Faith.

I am. Congratulations to Faith Kipyegon for a 3rd Olympic Games 1500 meters title.
I love how elite athletes look like they're strolling and when you look at the speed it's absolute insanity.
Yep. I can manage 76 sec for 400m downhill (their first lap speed). Feels like my legs are about to fall off.
Oh yeah. Incredible.
I run faster than them lmao
They have the genes, and they train intensely. If you train, those 70-75 second laps won't seem as hard.
This tactical race stuff on the biggest stage possible is disgraceful.

God bless Kipyegon. She did Kenya proud, just by faith in Our God. May God strength you Faith in every race. Beautiful girl. Congratulations Dibaba. We love you neighbor. You brought the best out of Kipyegon.
7 years and a baby later, Faith Kipyegon is the gift that still keeps giving. World records in both the 1500m and 5000m within a week of each race. woow what an achievement. Hardwork and Persistence do pay off
Watching this now. Well done Team Kenya
How many are here after the Kipyegon Tokyo win?The commentators said Kipyegon won because Genzebe had an injury which is very shameful,where are they now?
So happy for those three women!
6:15 You'd think this is the final lap. Absolutely insane race.
This here is why mid/distance events are so much more exciting to watch than sprints where you blink and you've missed out. Athletes can change things up and react to different strategies and whatever the competition throws at them. Tactically the most exciting races for me at the Olympics were 1500m, 5000m, and 10,000m for the women and 800m, 10,000m, the steeple and the marathon for men. But sometimes, overthinking strategies might turn into a disaster for favourites and make for a complete snooze fest that the men's 1500m was. Spectators didn't get their money's worth for that one.
freedomm I feel like I got more than my money’s worth in the men’s 1500 at Rio. Matt Centrowitz was money!
Contrary to what many thought, I believed that Faith Kipyegon had what it takes to beat Genzebe Dibaba given her (Kipyegon's) recent performances. Even went Genzebe beat her in Beijing 2015, it was largely because in the last 200m or so Sifan Hassan came between her and Dibaba and that interfered with Kipyegon's game plan. Kipyegon was then forced to chase Hassan (whom she overtook) before getting to Genzebe, but by then Genzebe was on her way to the finish line.
absolute class from kipyego
Absolutely terrible coverage. We missed the most important part of the race as the winner was making her decisive move the camara was watching the 3rd and 4th for a prolonged period, the race was essentially over when we got back to the gold medal battle. Totally spoilt a wonderful race.
exactly. muir and hassan
Great performance from Faith Kipyegon. Bravo!
Amazing last 800m. This is real gas!
congrants our girl wow. this is sensational
It's 2022 and still kipyegon is unbeatable
I love watching Faith kipyegon 🇰🇪7 years down the line she is still doing magic ❤️
This never gets old !
2022
It's been 8 years and 3 Olympics and Kipyegon has only lost a major final in the 1500 ONCE (and it was her season back from childbirth). There's a reason why she's so dominant and it's just because there's no way to run this race that does not favor her. She has the best pace across 1500 and also the best kick in the last 200/400/800. Everyone else will be run down and no one can catch her.
7 years later and now she has both the 1500M and 5000M world records. What a disciplined and determined athlete!! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
@@frazieromondi9331 I tell you 👌💪🤞
here after Faith broke 2 world records: 1500 m and 5000m in June 2023🔥
It was a great race. Faith Kipyegon is really awesome and good at finishing.
She wins in every way;
Kenyan queen Faith Kipyegon was just brilliant
"the medals have been decided" bud there is still 300m to go, chill
Why am I crying watching this. Proud Kenyan
Incredible race from Faith. But Genzebe should have pushed the pace earlier I think. Incredible focus from Jenny to reel in the bronze!
beautiful kipyegon love you😘😘😘
1:57.8 for the last 800m! That would put her in contention for a medal in the 800... leaving aside the fact that she'd already run an additional 700m. Brilliant running!
David Franklin what an observation?
Truly awesome!
It's a running start, though. In a 800 meters race you have to accelerate from a standing position. Most of these ladies lack the speed to content with top 800 meter runners
@@roddo1955 The "running start" is more than negated by having already run 700m even at a steady pace. Anyone that can run a last 800m in around 1.57 can easily do that at 800m which by the way Faith showed us in 2020.
Only Kipyagon ran that time for the last 800m if you noticed the other ladies were some way behind.
I love watching this particular race.
I don't think people realize how slow a 76 second opening 400 really is.
So slow
@@bethwanjiku1576 that's my average for a 3200 and they're doing it for an OLYMPIC 1500, that's crazy
At the final especially..
@@EliMarszalek which makes it all the more impressive that the final time was 4:09, despite the slow early pace
Have you ever competed in the world championship or Olympics?
good to see one kenyan girl beating all those ethiopians.congrants faith for beating genzebe and all those ethiopians including sifan hassan. kenya forever
If. One. Kenyan. Beating. All. What. About. 2. Or. 3.
mavi yako yananuka kama ya paka good.teamwork ya wa Ethiopia haikutopoa
I just cant get over how Ms. Faith was in number 17 or something..... Yes, that is how you beat the fave...... Ms. Kipyegon, run, gal..... run.... we were cheering you like we were there....
Its the genuine hug btn faith kibyrgon and dibaba for me!.. pure sportmanship
They liked each other so much. I wish Dibaba stayed around longer. They were great friends and always so gracious to each other in interviews
I love mid & distance races because they can be run in so many ways, unlike the sprints. The cat and mouse game here was so suspenseful.
Proud of you Faith 💪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
wow..what a race....congratulation girls...you are much better than all the commentators like us...
It's 2022 and Kipyegon near broke the World record this year in Monaco...she is the GOAT...
Fast forward to 2021, and you realize that this wasn't as wild an upset as you thought back then. It was simply a head-to-head between the fastest 1500 runner ever, and the greatest 1500 runner ever.
Kipyegon was always underrated. Still is
Edit: She was only 22
Here again to rewatch the GOAT KIPYEGON ❤
kenyans people are very good and polite
they take panadols...they wake up running, dream running and live running
the thing about running is that the Africans have very high advantages because Africa has mostly high elevation, so when they train there they train their hearts to produce more blood cells to compensate for the less oxygen. But when they compete at a lower elevation they have an advantage over the other runners because they have more blood cells being pumped from the heart.
@Blasphy B the filth you are omg!
Faith the Lone, Kenyan, You are Great. No Show offs, almost Unnoticed. Small among the big girls. What apride for our country, None to gang up with. Congrats Faith.
Well done Faith👏👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊
The Dibana and Kipyegon embrace is legendary 🙌
