I was there to watch it! The best race of The Games. The crowd went OFF at the end! Amazing.
Symmonds' final kick started too late. He may have been able to move up a few spots. He was still powering forward at the finish.
uhhhggg..... just running one 50 second 400m lap is ridiculous...
hahaha
très bien David Redusha
Dude truly and literally looked like he was running for his life, as if from something
This is an astonishing world record, considering the fact that the next "second" barrier had been destroyed. Sebastain Coe back in 1981 was the first man to run the 800m under 1:42, running a 1:41.73. That WR stood for 16 years until broken by Kipketer. That record stood for 13-14 years or so....until Rudisha. In this race, what I think is amazing is that the second place person tied Sebastian Coe's former WR (1:41.73). I wonder what Coe thought when he saw this race. It's not that often that second place either ties an old WR or even betters it.
Best video iv ever seen of a track event. What a view. The athletes view as they cross the line. Gorgeous video. Gorgeous runner. Priceless!!
One of the best races I´ve ever seen
Great just great
I thought a 1:58 was good, but that's still 18 seconds behind this guy. Some people are just amazing.
tall people are starting to dominate everything short distance it seems
