1. If you look at his background story, it is something out of a novel.
   
   1. Loses the previous Olympics after not pushing at the very last moment
   
   2. Vows to put everything and more into his training and starts high altitude training in the Atlas mountains.
   
   3. Wins, and breaks the world record, in Athens, the birthplace of the Olympics.
   
   Fuck yeah, Hicham! <3
2. "shatters" 1 sec
3. this record will go in 2017,I hope it goes it been there to long,and I hope they make the 1500m and the mile diamond league event, because it not run that much,on the men side diamond league
4. Top 4 were all faster than 2016 Olympic 1500m.
5. It sounds like it is coming from some alien space station
6. The first 4 minute mile by Roger Banister had higher quality than this ahaha
7. doped or not, no one can break this, lol
8. this is when the olympics was filmed with a potato
9. I am 16 and run a 2:06 800 lol my goal is to break 2 next year I have a few teammates that get under 2 like just yesterday the fastest ran a 1:53 and set a new school record but he got 2nd place, but still
10. at the end he prayed to Allah SWT, i think he's muslim :O awesome XDD
11. A time of 3:26 on a 1500m equals to me sprinting at my top speed for 1500m (I sprint slightly faster but not much)! Another fun fact is that if you compare this world record to my own personal 1,5k personal record, he would have reached 1500m by the time I have reached 1000m (My best is 5:09) =O This guy is exactly 1.5 times as fast as me in the 1500m race! I love doing these calculations xD
12. OMG dude I RAN 5:11 on my last season in (indoors) and im aiming 4 sub 5 too in spring track but i think i can since its going to be outdoor.
13. hense your name :)
14. Drugs!
15. This guy was so on drugs!!!! Steve Cram is the only legit guy running sub 3:30
16. obviously the record will be broken some day. still i would have to say this is a damn tough record to beat. his last lap was a thing of beauty. i was trying to explain ease of speed to my girlfriend and she even got it;) thanks el guerrouj!
17. huh???
18. lol i cant run 15 seccond 100
19. ha! click on 3:26 and he finishes exact same time. Even Youtube approves this video!
20. that is indeed a wonderful attempt when 100 metres is run under 10 secs.
