I'm not talking about Hicham, I'm talking about the rest of the world. The speed they are running at is an all out sprint for 95% of the world. For Hicham this probably feels like a relaxed sprint.
Aouita, Elguerrouj des légendes qui ont gravé leur noms dans l'histoire de l'athlétisme avec des grands palmarès et qui ont honoré le peuple marocain. Merci donc à ces deux champions.
Now this was a race. Normally when it comes to major championships like the worlds or the Olympics you have three slow laps with the sprint on the last lap. However, this was a race from the start and didn't end with the kickers winning on a last lap burst. I wish more distance races were like this.
You are right Brian. This is the Real 1500m even when El guerrouj lost in Sydney Behind Ngen. That was because the pace was a little slow 3:32 which is by the way the Olympic record. El guerrouj never lost a race with a fast pace
@@nourdaniel2437 فعلا لاكن الكروج دائما في الموعد والتوقيت كذالك قوي بطل اسطوري بالنسبة لهذه المسافة سيطر لسنوات موهبة ومجتهد في التدريبات كما قال دات مرة من أراد تحطيم رقم 1500عليه أن يرى الموت
It's a pity that El Guerrouj lost a tactical race to the Kenyans in Sydney the following year. Then again, if he didn't feel the sting of that disappointment, he may not have had the burning desire to pull off that amazing 1500/5000 double in Athens.
في هدا السباق كان من الممكن ان يحسن من الرقم العالمي 3:26 لولا تباطه وفرحته بالفوز في الامتار الاخيرة...شكرا هشام عشنا معك افضل الاوقات لن تنسى ابدا تحياتي
هناك ابطال يمر عملهم بدون ثناء كالبطل عادل الكوش الذي كان له دور كبير في الألقاب التي حصل عليها هشام الذي كان من كوكب اخر ون نسيان سعيد عويطة فاتح الألقاب في العاب القوى
Probably the best 1500 m race in history in terms of times and line up: 4 olympic champions, 2 world champions, 2 european champions and world indoor champion. El Guerrouj as WR holder, and three other guys who are ranked 3rd, 5th and 7th on the all-time list. Interesting that El Guerrouj wasn't able to beat Ngeny next year at Sydney Olympics, Kenyan ended there long last domination of Morrocan in this event.
Alexx87 it was big pression on him ( Elguerrouj )then, how you cant understand that? and who wins the double 1500m and 5000m in athens 2004? kenyans or moroccans?
It's better than Moscow 1980 or Monaco 2015 or Oslo (Mile) 1979 or Christchurch 1974; all the best athletes of the '90s in pretty good form. A competitive race in a super fast time. It showcased the world's greatest miler at his peak. El Guerrouj is probably the best ever on the strength of his times and competitive record.

The guy never tested positive for any drugs. And, juice or no juice, as mentioned, phenomenal times. If he was on it, then others may have been to. Level playing field.
A doctor in France say that Hicham el Guerrouj heart was bigger than normal due to hard training he had all his life. 5 Hours a day, that's his secret. His coach said he can runs even 10 thousand without issue.
Doping is endemic in sport. The IAAF has considered expunging all pre 2005 records. It’s reasonable to assume that something may be going on with the outliers.
Faut pas oublié le rôle d'adil kaouch " ex champions du monde junior " dans plusieurs victoire de Hicham El gueurouj surtout dans les championnats du monde.
الكروج كان يمكنه اعادة تحطيم رقمه القياسي العالمي مرتين الى اقل من 3.26 وهذا غير معهود وتاريخي يعتبره العديد من اعظم العدائين في تاريخ العاب القوى العالمية
Tremenda carrera.. Sorprendieron a los hermanos de KENYA- Gran carrera del primero y tercero. Por eso se dio un nuevo RECORD. TODOS buenos. pero el ganador los sorprendio a todos y NO CDIO. Bendiciones. Bien merecido. Hurra.
لو تابع هدا الاسطورة بنفس السرعة حتى النهاية كان بإمكانه أن يجعل الرقم القياسي هو 3.25 إللى أنه لما أدرك الفوز لم يبدل مجهود أكتر .شكرا هشام فعلا كنت أسطورة السباقات المتوسطة 👍❤️🇲🇦
That was pretty poor commentary. Not knowing the name of the "number 472 moroccan" Adil El Kaouch who was junior world champion was pretty unprofessional. Couple of factual mistakes. Also not commenting on the insane world record pace and insane final time for a championship race. All round pretty poor
Well I disagree. There was a proper race between the top three and the commentary reflected that. It’s not every time the pace is fast that the whole commentary has to get fixated on that. Sure he didn’t go into detail about the athletes e.g. Kaouch - that doesn’t mean that all of a sudden the whole of the commentary was poor.
Noah Ngeny learned a hard lesson here, he let Estevez split him and El Guerrouj and suddenly he was too far behind. What he learned from this race put him in position to beat the Moroccan in Sydney Olympics next year. He broke Olympic record there and ended 3-year domination of El Guerrouj.
Alexx87 I agree but I think el guerrouj looked unbeatable here. I think El guerrouj lost in Sydney because the second lap was so slow it allowed Noah to be right there in the end to show his superior 800/1000m speed.
@@philemonkipkoechkandie4972 you are talking like Ngeny constantly beat him afterwards. He did not! It was only a fluke in Sydney and he only beat him bc El G was under immense pressure in Sydney and run a bad tactical race. Gtfoh
The ignorance of Cram about a race over a distance where he used to shine! Around 2:30, Cram rambles on after recalling El G's fall in Atlanta, that in more recent races he has been outkicked on one or two occasions when the pace was slow. In reality, El G did not lose a single race over 1500 m/mile from 1997 until his loss in 2000 (Sydney) to Ngeny. The fact that El G's records 1500m, mile, 2000m) still stand almost 25 years later, also adds to the "Jarrow" lad trying to belittle EL G.
Muscles in the upper body can slow you down because they alter your natural running form, but they give you a strong finish. Always workout your upper body, but do not get excessively big.
I wonder what it feels like to run that fucking fast for that fucking long? An incomprehensible all-out sprint (and more) for 95% of the population, let alone sustaining it for nearly a mile.
Great run, but did we really need the timer clock and records obscuring the view in the home straight. Would have preferred to see El G than the clock infront.
His thighs are big for a 1500 runner Still he has established as a winner He ran like a deer in a fine manner To win, one must be a top-planner I should have well-practiced like this On those days, you tube I did miss Winning a medal gives what a bliss! The best athlete gets a golden kiss.
هشام الكروج لديه ايضا من أحسن توقيتات الازمنة في 3000 متر ربما ثالني او ثالث توقيت لكل الازمنة بعد الرقم القياسي العالمي لدانيال كوهن الكيني الذي انتصر عليه الكروج في عدة سباقات
El G is a legend beyond a legend. His races are beloved by thousands and thousands of fans around the world, of all different ages and countries. He is an inspiration to up and coming runners. When his 1998 record is broken, it will be the end of an era. The man who breaks 3:26 will become immortal. I think Kiprop is going to do it either this year or in 2017.
At which point is this uttered, please? I've played it three times now and must have each time missed it. And which of the two announcers says it, former world record holder Foster or former world recorder holder Cram?
+Bren Walsh Cram just likes a race to be run without assistance. If he can win without a pacemaker then why does he feel the need for one? It's why I always thought Morceli was greater as he didn't have countrymen to help him out.
