I ran cross country for all 4 years of high school. And let me tell you that finish straight away always made me feel like my legs were going to fall off. Cross country is such an exciting and rewarding sport but, it really takes all your energy to pull through and cross that finish line after running for miles 😅
Missed the women’s 2006 Commonwealth Games marathon, epic finish. Won’t be someone who, at the time didn’t know, had cancer which took her life 2 years later
There was the New York Marathon where the guy in the lead, from Mexico, took a wrong turn and ran for about 50 meters before they guided him back onto the course. He still caught the guy who took the lead and won.
I will never forget that New York City marathon. What an epic comeback. And it was he and his countrymen that came in first and second place I believe.
Why would you give such an Amazing Athlete thumbs down...Jealous figures !! 123 Viva Makhloufi. The pride of 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🙏🙏🙏 May Allah protect you for the Hassadines...
The point of a race is to run it as fast as possible. Any sort of distance race, when pushed to its limits, will have something like this. It might not be a long race compared to a marathon, but the amount of pain these athletes put themselves through is insane.
@@australia5766 Bekele is still the record holder for the 5000m and 10000m. The Ugandans record should not be official. He was literally handed the WR on a silver platter. Please Watch this video. ( RU-vid keeps removing the link. Search for WR comparison Showdown Bekeles vs Cheptegei by The Lapras Man) It's a side by side comparison of Bekeles real WR and the NN time trial by Cheptegei. The Ugandans splits were metronomic (2:37 per KM for the whole time trial!) Why is that? Because a machine was pacing him. Those robotic wavelight technology on the track. That whole thing was staged for him precisely. Like the INEOS challenge in Vienna. Planned by NN to the millimeter. Watch the 5000m comparison too. Bekeles splits were Uneven. He had variations in his tempo. He had more in tank for sure. The thing is he ran by his heart and didn't have a whole team orchestrate and engineer a record for him.
