this is, in my opinion, the greatest 1500m race of all time. the backstory / buildup of el g's career, the pacing (1:46 final 800 for a 3:34 race is crazy), the battle to the line with lagat, it's just perfect
The king- El G! He didn't find another gear down the stretch, he did something more impressive... he kept his form even after being passed. Lagat could not maintain his speed and was defeated at the line.
& what i always tell my boys who both have asthma is the greatest 1500 meter runner of all time also had asthma. You can always push past barriers to achieve your dreams
