It was my pleasure to see him race from when he burst onto the scene to when he retired. When I think about athletics, I think about him, and athletes like him. So much pleasure. We will not see another with his grace and sustained speed.
I feel the same way, the second place in that race is still the second fastest time ever for a mile and the previews record is the 3rd fastest. Besides them 3 no one else even broke 3:45 yet. Kinda crazy!
You shouldn’t , he would never run that time in a race by himself . He ran that time because he had the best of the best as his pace maker if you know what I mean . he still did great though
sympaticoo1 Ngeny was the best of the best also though and EL G needed him as well in this video. Many people probably don't know this but look at the first video of EL G breaking the 1500m WR. See the Kenyan Pacemaker taking EL G through 1300m, that is no one else but Noah Ngeny(the guy who finished second in the mile WR) doing pace making duties for EL G before he burst on the scene. Hicham would have never run 3:26.00 in that 1500 without Noah an both of them wouldn't have run 3:43 without each other. They were both on the same level as Noah would go on to beat EL G in the Sydney Olympic 1500m. EL G is a lot more famous because he has the records and longer career and rightly so but Noah was every bit as good during their primes.
SNEAK982 he took him through 1200m not 1300 , go and look back at ngeny’s 1500m races without elguerrouj ans tell me what his times were ? El guerrouj ran more than 30 times under 3 30 , he ran 3 26 ,13 in 2001 and almost broke the world record again . Yes nageny was a good and fast runner he even still has the 1000m record but he was in no way in el guerrouj‘ s level who dominated the 1500 for 8 years like no one else
definitely, I'm gonna give it another year or two until someone gets close to his 1500 record, 5 years before someone gets his 2000m record, and a cool 9 or 10 years until someone gets his mile record, I could be wrong because cheruiyot and ingebrigtsen are on fire right now but you never know
@@esattunagur3540 I like how sure you are without any proof , if he was doping and it was that easy then everyone was doping as well! Any accusation needs proof and you don't have any . The man was dominant for 8 years and went through tons of tests but they were all wrong and you are right! Give me a fucking break
The 2000 impresses me the most - a 3:49 mile followed by another lap at around 55 sec? Freakish. PLEASE ... dial down or eliminate the music in future videos. Better to hear the crowd and announcers than disco/techno/whatever :-)
@@alansamuel2454 Never seen a 1609 meter race in my life. The 1600m "American Mile" and the 1500 "Metric mile" are standard, depending on the site and country because it doesn't make sense to add 9 meters on a 400 meter track.
بطل يجري كالغزال.اقل منصب يحب ان يتولاه بعد اعتزاله هو رئيس الجامعة الملكية لالعاب القوى.هذا البطل الفذ صنع مجده بنفسه وبعرق جبينه .بطل من ذهب والماس لايضاهيه قيمة ومجدا سوى البطل العالمي سعيد عويطة.

He run sub 13 in 100 m He ran his last lap of Atina's 1500 race in 51.91 seconds Hi is so fast He always gonna stay the Great of all time THE GOAT HICHAM EL GUERROUJ💪♥️
To me HEG is the greatest middle distance runner of all time. He was beautiful to watch. A very humble man to boot....I hope he was able to capitalize financially for all his years of sacrifice. If he was in Europe or USA he would have bling galore.
Alan Samuel Hicham hardly ran the indoors hence he only competed in two 1500m and one 3000m world indoor championships which he won!! His pursuit was the olympics
Um yes, but comparing dibaba to el guerrouj is an insult to all elite male runners. Teenage boys have run faster than her. Her gender’s limitations is no fault of her own, but that doesn’t warrant her comparison with better Athletes
Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen clocks the world's fastest mile in over two decades at a Diamond League meet in Oslo as he crosses the line in 3 minutes, 46.46 seconds, the sixth fastest in history
That’s indoor sir U r not well informed heg still holds the mile and 2km in real track and field . He did 3 indoor which he won all 3, that’s not a lot, main focus was the Olympics.
Lol, he is my favourite runner but in one interview he said he developed Asthma And was getting medically treated for this. Something freaks me out when athletes get asthma as they all seem to improve dramatically after getting medically treated. Its a grey area if you know what I mean!!!! It's not just athletletes but its known that cyclists have also improved their times when treated for asthma..
