Hicham El Guerrouj 1500m World Record 1998



Featuring El G lowering the 1500m world record to an amazing 3:26:00!

Comments

  1. I'm 23 years old now and I ran the 1500m in 2:59 min
  2. if someone had to use doping drugs in the 90s it would have been an american or a russian or even a spanish who is the best european performers in the 1500 and even some kenyans, the look in his face is the result of lot of effort and training and weed smokers argue here that its proof of what they call epo ...el G did close to his record many times in different world official games before this one. El G is legend !
  3. that was 24 seconds faster than the 1500m gold at Rio Olympics
  4. im 7years old and I ran the 1500m in 2minute 14 seconds
  5. 実況邪魔!!!
  6. Guys with EPO argument, your freedom of speech is granted of course but...

    The guy raced for more than a decade at the top level, roughly a thousand races. He retired only yesterday (in terms of locating doping products in bloodsamples, 2006 is yesterday)..

    So, you're telling, me, that he never gave blood samples? no, you can't be that crazy, so i'm reformulating: you're telling me that he used some unknown doping products? Sample are here, they'll be conserved for 10 more years, if Armstrong himself was revealed a cheater after 8 years of his first "Tour de France" win, why El Guerrouj wasn't revealed positiveto any known doping substance (even the ones that became forbidden after his retirement?)..

    EPO argument is not logical, i'm not saying it's offensive or something like that, it's just not logical. The man earned the respectof the Olymipic Comitee before reaching to the hearts of every athletism lover in this world.
  7. this man is not normal
  8. i can't stop watching this...race....
  9. i got 3:25



    (3 hours 25)
  10. 17 years n still standing. A record hard to break in such a distance
  11. In Morocco, a famous saying goes "When a cat can't catch a fish, it says it is smelly." That is the exact reaction of people and runners who argue that he used EPOs.
    A blatant discredit to the "EPO" argument is that Hicham was always consistent from 1994 until 2004. On the other hand, on EPOs,a runner's performance tend to be inconsistent... Hicham was always strong, always at the top. His genes were strong. He is undoubtedly the greatest middle-runner of all times, the KING.
  12. Kiprop got pretty damn close
  13. i think  only el guerrouj who can run 1500m in 3:25:51 ,it was the limit.
  14. This will never be broken.
  15. epo
  16. You can clearly see in his face that he inyected a lot of epo.. if he wanted he could run 1500 mts more and broke his own record jaja
  17. This will not be broken for the next 20 years
  18.  
    I'm 12 years old now and I ran the 1500m in 3:45 min
  19. It would have been so interesting to study old blood samples. The track world would have been so much different :\
  20. I would bet my one life that he was doped if someone could provide an Hicham bloodsample.. 97% sure
