hunty dropping from 3:39 to 3:33 in his first 6 months as a pro 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Looks like Ozzieland has a new star.

The commentator was just rubbing it in 😂

Loved the commentary, really gets you into the Race as a viewer. A big plus for the former World Champion, Jake Wightman, to compete at the humble Crest Athletics Centre, Bankstown, Sydney, Australia, if sound, fit, and in good health, the humble Wightman will Race all comers anytime, anyplace, a commendable 3rd in 3.34.31. But strong effort on the night by Australia’s Cameron Myers to win comfortably in a first-class 3.33.30. The big surprise was Australia’s Jesse Hunt, looking very strong to run a top-notch 2nd in 3.33.64. Savour the night, that’s what I say ! Paris Can and Will wait, worrying about possible Injury and Health Problems is not the way to go, just get on with Competing and Training, take normal precautions and just don’t do anything Physically Silly. Besides, Backing-Up at The Olympic Games is a real Test of Strength and Stamina, the Heat and Semi-Final very Competitive and we all know what The Final will be like, all in the space of about 4-5 days. Very Early Days, of course, and anything can happen between Now and Paris, but on Paper at least, this format could favour Norwegian Strong Man, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, in my humble opinion. But thanks to The Crest, The Commentator, and The Runners for a Great Night ! 😊

Was this filmed in 1982 in black and white on VHS then upscale and used technicolor to give it artificial colors? What the heck

Wightman still coming back from injury..lacking speedwise at mo...racing good for getting the legs turning over...Myers looks a great prospect

That's a new under-18 world record!

What an outstanding run and also for the young guy to do a sustained front run from well out from the finish. He handled the pressure well. Cheers.

@ least Wightman doesn't have a massively BIG MOUTH like Kerr-who never stops blathering on & on ..

what was the time? come on now

Cameron Myers is actually insane 😂

Great run by Cam myers, I hope he can keep it together and not disappear from the sport. He has to be managed really carefully as he will have all sorts of people in his ear.

Best 18- years runner- Ingebrigtsen, Laros, Myers and Kessler,who win Paris Olympic?

Only person who could have defeated him is surely Jakob ingebrigtsen but that was phenomenal!

I have a great video from Eugene of Whiteman doing his victory lap. I was only feet away. What a day it was!

Great feeling he will remember this for a lifetime!

Wow that was a great race!!!!!

Is that a world age best for 17?

Jake Whiteman coming back from a lengthy lay-off in his first race in forever...

I hate pacing,

Jakob is the best

skull a drink every time the commentator says 17 year old 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

He sounds like 👍 a Horse Racing 🐎 Caller

Man Myers just looks so comfortable this entire race, unbelievably smooth form

The USA just held their national indoors track championships and the winning 1,500 meter time was four seconds slower than what this high school kid just ran.

Oh look it's me taking photos on the track 👋

Unrelated comment here but guys do you know if an athlete with anemia could theoretically get a TUE and take Erythropoietin (EPO? If they could I wondered how they would be tested and what if any limits they would have placed on them. Surely training at altitude would be problematic for their blood tests. I'm just curious (not asking for a friend).

Sounds like Lee Diffy. He's a good car racing announcer.

i wouldve liked the pacemakers to take it out for 1s below OQ to stretch Myers a bit. wouldve liked to see him go into the 3:32s here. Not sure if he'd be entirely happy with this time being slower than a year ago. he already has the OQ so no biggie and we dont know where hes at in his training. Itll take a sub 3:29 to get a medal in Paris.

And it's Seabiscuit at the wire!!😊

Did he get the qualifying time?

Simply great, he won the race effortlessly.

What time was Jakob running at the same age?

I'm was waiting for him to call Laffit Pincay's name coming down the stretch 😂

Jake Wightman is NOT medalling at the Olympics
