Surely we had never seen and never will see again a louder crowd at a track and field meet. You had 87,000 people going ballistic for a hometown hero - simply sensational
A very inspiring race. Choge, just brilliant. Kudos to the winners. Great race from all the athletes. Certainly a race to remember. Great crowd support.
Top of the top running! Amazing how this tall man had such a style and endurance to run neck to neck with those great athletes from Kenya,I think he could run a 12:40 if the pace would be set at that ritm,the best
Crazy how far back Mo Farah was in this race...granted he was only 23 here but it's crazy to see how much better he got 4 or 5 years later...and beyond to this year!
It is very suspicious! And you can guarantee that the GB Authorities knew too.. but don't you think of putting a pin in the diversity bubble.. IT STINKS!
Becoming the best comes with talent obviuosly but a lot of bloody, bloody hard work. That takes time but perseverance. When you get knocked down you get up again and again and again until you get it right.
Wow what a race,,,our boy as short as he is,,zoomed passed Mottram,,who got confused as he was sure he had won the gold although he gave a very good run and won Silver,,,and golden boy was determined to win the race and like roller coaster running so fast,,he won😁😄😄😄😄😄
It's not correct that the first championship sub-13 5000m was 2003 at the World Champs. The 1999 edition also was won in sub-13 (by Salah Hissou, in all 4 runners went under 13 in that race).
It's the commonwealth games nobody had broke 13 before And Bekele ran a 12:57 Olympic record in 2008 Eluid Kipchoge ran a 12:51-3 at 2003 with El G and Bekele right behind him so 6-7 all time have gone sub 13 in a championship but this was the first time at commonwealth games
Im Champ And in the introduction it was stated that 2003 at the world champs it was the first time in a championship race. That's wrong. That's what I have said, nothing else.
distance88 I believe 2003 was because the Olympic record was like 13:05 and since this race was after 2003(2006) I believe 2003 was the first sub 13 championship race ever
@@elizabethevelyn9761 I was implying that I am a minority (non white) and we often win in running/athletics so it would be good to see a white person win this event for a change.
John Smith Keep in mind that running is also our mode of transport, we don’t run for championships only, we run to get to school and everywhere else . Give credit where credit is due.
John Smith I suppose if it were not a Kenyan with such talent we’d give them credit...What are your thoughts on Craig then, he was just a few seconds behind? Is he also on EPO or he’s a talent?
He didn't give up. He gave it his all. Craig was at a disadvantage with his extra weight. The lighter Kenyans tire less with the skinny bodies. Shows how talented Mottram was that he could match the best of them.
21:19 yeah mate, nobody wants too love allen bond but you dont drop people on the floor whatever your politics might be. never change craig, or you are a hypocrite... nah but seriously, he should have never tried to give craig the boxing kangaroo. but still, dont drop their dreams on the floor

I agree with you. Amazing crowd cheering their guy
? X ❤😂
people just dont cheer like they used to in the past. Hard to go ham when you are holding a phone, miss the old sporting fan crowds.
I love the way the Kenyans showed respect for Mottram. That alone lets you know you're a great runner.
Yes, they showed Evan Jager the same kind of respect when he proved he could run with them. It's a wonderful thing to see.
@@randyevermore9323
Yeah, Kenyans love great competition
They toyed with Lurch.
Great?
One of the greatest race of all time👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The commentary here is fantastic.

It makes me feel emotional every time i see Kenyans conquer the world. 💕 Kenya
ME TOO
I'm so glad Craig Mottram is my running coach now, I've improved tons!
Bud Bonkerson are u serious, are u in Australia?
Je l'ai admirer
Back then when Mo Farah had no problem hearing the doorbell.
Lol
hahaha, sensational!
Mo farah was no show, it brings to the question of doping , maybe those rumors are true🤷🏽♀ am just saying
😀
😂What a troll
Great race!. One of the greatest race of all time.
Such an exciting race. Would have been great in the stadium
You have to have some serious balls to take the lead and surge with a 55 second lap with 1200 to go, what a freaking race
It was a mistake by the time measuring system, watch it again. Next lap wasn’t 64 as well.
Crazy how far back Mo Farah was in this race...granted he was only 23 here but it's crazy to see how much better he got 4 or 5 years later...and beyond to this year!
+Isaac Jennings Do you know what Bekele was doing at 23?
12:40s
Back when he didn't have the juice
Uh yeah but that wasn't my point, I meant the progression.
It is very suspicious! And you can guarantee that the GB Authorities knew too.. but don't you think of putting a pin in the diversity bubble.. IT STINKS!
Must be the greatest race I have ever seen. Better than El Guerouj's gold
Back them when Mo Farah was a nobody!
Then he got his Mo-Jo (as in Flo-Jo)
Ha ha ha ha!
Becoming the best comes with talent obviuosly but a lot of bloody, bloody hard work. That takes time but perseverance. When you get knocked down you get up again and again and again until you get it right.
I still come here when I am bored😁😂😂😂this was a great run from the white man...Kenyans kudos
eloquent runner, eloquent guy. Love the big mazungo.
Why do you call him mazungo?
What is mazungo?
It's a Swahili word meaning the white guy
@@leonardtoo985 Mzungu is the word
The best marathon ever!!!!!!
Bravo yelow colorrrr you are the best yelow man
Commentary is the best😀
craig is my school’s coach!!
Wow what a race,,,our boy as short as he is,,zoomed passed Mottram,,who got confused as he was sure he had won the gold although he gave a very good run and won Silver,,,and golden boy was determined to win the race and like roller coaster running so fast,,he won😁😄😄😄😄😄
I love track. But the most exciting is to watch Kenyans and win. It is superb, spectacular and just athing of magnificent beauty!!!
watching long races my country Kenya was always assured of 123 finish... then things changed, how could Farah peak after 25years? absurd
it was never the case
Run you Great...
Very-very good Video
Thanks...
Who are those Commenters Simply brilliant
Terry MacAuliffe and Steve Ovett
congs Kenya with love from Uganda
Kenyans are not from planet earth,we just visited🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪💪🏿💪🏿

distance88 Correct
My favorite of all times
That is the real African running I am proud to be African viva africa from somaliland
Love those Kenyan athletes ❤
16:07 WTF Mottram dropped a 55 second lap with 2 more to go? Thats INSANE
Nah, someone messed up and split that lap way too early. It was more like a 61 second lap.
Lol I was thinking the same thing but I think it was about a 60 but they pulled away so much I wouldn't have really been surprised
Stupid
Buster's mullet was fire.
He didnt know wat kenyan can do
The best race ever
Choge has a long stride for a small runner
Ni Mkenya!
He is Kenyan!
its genetics
Full off heart
He know him in this race 🤣🤣🤣
Great race!
2nd greatest 5k race only after the 2003 world 5k final
joe j 1993 world championships
1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, 5000 metres.
Most exciting race.
Great run Kenya and Aus
Kenya athletes always shine
You know when Kenyans grab you like that you’ve gained their upmost respect. Loved watching mottram race he never left anything out there.
As a minority, I really wanted that white Australian,Craig Motram, to win..Australian crowd at the stadium was so great with their support.
What kind of minority? And does.your opinion matter more because you're a minority?
White minority..
@@MasterM333 that's what opinion is all about...
@@elizabethevelyn9761 I was implying that I am a minority (non white) and we often win in running/athletics so it would be good to see a white person win this event for a change.
@@mangosandpineapples4301 yep.. you're quite right.. it's just fact isn't!
Go Kenya!!!!!! a win is a win.....
Kenyans love great races competition
Choge you are the best
Kenya home of champions
Still the GOAT
What a race for kipchoge😅
Que carrera del Kenia que pulmones de los atletas
brilliant winner
Great teamwork from kenyans
The Australian thought for a second that he was going to win a kalengin in 5k
this is the very speed race
Queee carreron! Maravillosa.
the 'little man' named Choge DUSTED Mottram
Something reminds me here of Ron Clark.
Hat's off to the Australian
Are you a Mzungo?
Wow!
Mottram
Mack likes boys.
Great!
wow!!!!!
wow kenyans
Kipsiro and Mo Farah
Moh fara young living viva the legend
But i me am not afraid of god feared of hooli
Wow!!!!! And he's only 19.... GO KENYA
Yeah, he's 19....13 years ago
Aren't you suspicious
Craig was beaten hands down.
that was way back b4 ugandans came on board
Jajaja... algunos corredores extremos...muy altos y muy pequeños
I wish he would have competed with the likes of mo farah
Chogie must be on juice!!
Hello
Craig only one not on juice
The Kenyans have thousands who run like that. Outlier performance for the Aussie. Suspect!
Kenya's too much danger
Where do the Kenyans get these runners from ? . Answer the EPO doctor that's where .
It is in our DNA
John Smith Keep in mind that running is also our mode of transport, we don’t run for championships only, we run to get to school and everywhere else . Give credit where credit is due.
@@oratile1977 Yeah right , the credit should go to the scientist who made the drugs !.
John Smith I suppose if it were not a Kenyan with such talent we’d give them credit...What are your thoughts on Craig then, he was just a few seconds behind? Is he also on EPO or he’s a talent?
@@oratile1977 I don't trust any of the top runners to be free of drugs
Africa competing with Australia
he wasnt beaten narrowly though....😂😂 but why would Choge not try marathon😅
Threat Mazungo should’ve pushed him away with 300m to go. Gave up too easily.
In what World is running 12:58 giving up too easily?? I think if he could've, he would've
Mzungo! Haha
Easy for you to say.
He didn't give up. He gave it his all. Craig was at a disadvantage with his extra weight. The lighter Kenyans tire less with the skinny bodies.
Shows how talented Mottram was that he could match the best of them.
Young mo
Mans against man. African Muzungu Affair
You can feel the bias in the commentary
UN
Stupid tactics 3800 55 sec laps??
It's like Hitlers in the stands when a track meet is in Hungary.
21:19 yeah mate, nobody wants too love allen bond but you dont drop people on the floor whatever your politics might be. never change craig, or you are a hypocrite... nah but seriously, he should have never tried to give craig the boxing kangaroo. but still, dont drop their dreams on the floor
17:37 Motram gave up.
No got beat by a better man
Anti climatic
No got beat by a better man
2nd comes right after first
