Rio Replay: Women's 1500m Final 

Watch the FULL SESSION here: bit.do/Women1500m-Rio2016

Their pedestrian rythm is my ultra speed.

I'm here in tribute to Faith Kipyegon on her outstanding performance on 6/2/23 World Record performance 1500 meters 3:49.11!

May 2021, still watching this incredible performance by F.Kippyegon. Who else is around?

The entertainment that Africans bring to this world is underrated

Who is still watching in 2024??proud of our athletes ❤❤ 🇰🇪 🇰🇪

I love how elite athletes look like they're strolling and when you look at the speed it's absolute insanity.

My hats off to Faith Kipyegon, that 22 year old gal just gave it all. I guess she had studies Dibaba over several races. Its takes a great challenge from a great runner like Dibaba for a youngster to believe. And yes she did. Great run by the east Africans.

Five years later and kipyegon has dominated all the races she has participated in,she deserves more credit

Injury gave the Kenyan opportunity my foot. The commentator should know people. Give credit where it's due. Faith worked so hard to win the race. Respect to Dibaba but as a Kenyan, much respect to Faith.

Here after Faith broke the world record. What a journey!😊

It's 2021 and Faith Kipyegon has been winning 1500m ever since so Mr. Commentator it was not because of Dibaba's injury but because of her hard work. Quick Update. She also won Oregon world championship in 2022.

You can see what a genuine great person Genzebe is. At first she was disappointed in her own race, but then when she saw the joy of her friend Faith, she became happy for her and hugged her. (Notice how none of the other runners did)

i started crying for her as soon as she crossed the finish line😭😢👏

What a wonderful race by Faith K! Her final 800m (1.57) was faster than many 800m straight finals, wow!

Kenyans🇰🇪where are you we celebrate our gal even 5 yrs later???? Proudly Kenyan.

Don’t really appreciate the commentator. She won that race due to years of hard work and dedication. Not because of another athletes injury.

It is so unfair to Faith for the commentator to say that Faith did not win because of all the effort, years of hard work, and determination/dedication she put into the race but because Dibaba had a toe injury. Faith took Gold because her hard work put her in a position to do so and not because Dibaba leg pinky was feeling an owwwie.

Ooh Faith u did it I can watch this over and over again bila kuboeka bcauz she's my favorite gal

Faith Kipyegon and Jenny Simpson are the 2 athletes that impressed me most in this race. Look how far Jenny came to take bronze. She ran her own race and almost rewarded with silver 🙌🏾

The hug between Dibaba and Faith was absolutely GENUINE INDEED! PURE SPORTSMANSHIP LOVE IT👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖, I can't help but watch this video OVER N OVER N OVER I DON'T / CAN'T GET TIRED OF IT👌

I like how Dibaba and Faith embraced each other.

OMG!I felt like shading tears,congrats Kipyegon.U did it for ur country.💜💜💜👊👊👊

I'm proud to be Kenyan

This was the best Rio Gold for me, so proud of her.

Praise be to God who is in heaven for blessing Faith Kipyegon with victory in this 1500m Women run of 2016 Rio Olympics !!!

Just love the resilience the kenyans show in the race,its outstanding and touching

If there are ever three sure bets in athletics before a race begins...they would be Usain Bolt, Eliud Kipchoge and Faith Kipyegon. Put them in a finals and you are sure they are winning gold...

1min57 for a 800m is REALLY good. But for the last 2 laps of an Olympic1500 final is just insane ! 😱😱

Team Kenya: we couldn't have been any proud.they representation was incredible

6yrs later... she has taken down the World Record... congratulations Faith... Hardwork pays

I can't stop watching this great stuff.. congratulations Kipyegon

On a normal race, Dibaba had done enough to win i.e she expended all her energy giving the other runners a gap on the first 300 meters or so of the last lap. That strategy didn't work though, Kipyegon stayed with her all through, and struck when Dibaba was all but done...Kipyegon did us proud...up Kenya!

Faith, you have done Kenyans proud. God bless you.

Kenyans are there to win , i love kenyan athletees, kudos faith kipyegon

2019 still watching the lion kenyan faith kipyegon

FAITH IS SUCH AN INSANELY STRONG ATHLETE THE SPRINT FOR HOME WITH TWO LAPS TO GO,WOWWWWW! BUT WHAT MADE ME CRY N WHAT I BELIEVE WAS BEAUTIFUL INDEED WAS WHEN DIBABA WENT TO CONGRATULATE HER, TOTAL SPORTSMANSHIP, ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE 😘 😚!

I'm a very proud Kenyan!

Shed tears of joy for Faith. Faith, I'm your biggest fan.

7 years and a baby later, Faith Kipyegon is the gift that still keeps giving. World records in both the 1500m and 5000m within a week of each race. woow what an achievement. Hardwork and Persistence do pay off

Happy for Faith after successful defending her title with an Olympic record in TOKYO 2020.. LIKES FOR FAITH

This is a very exciting race to watch.Really proud to be Kenyan.

My entire body got covered with goosebumps when she crossed the finish line. Faith you did us proud!!!

Such an emotional race..best race I've ever watched

Stop it all of yall. As an Ethiopian that Loves and supports the Dibaba's family this race goes clearly to Faith. Not all of us get to have an excuse, injured or not she did her best and lost. If she was in pain she shouldn't have raced in first place besides she is the record holder and they loved and adored each other as a fellow contestants. Respect for Faith for winning this incredible race and respect for Dibaba for trying her best even when being injured.

Great ignorance from one commentator, saying that a runner is showing shyness when she is praying.

I could watch Faith everyday all day.I am so happy .🇯🇲🇰🇪

How many are here after the Kipyegon Tokyo win?The commentators said Kipyegon won because Genzebe had an injury which is very shameful,where are they now?

faith kipyegons strides are full of grace. supernatural

I can't just stop watching this epic race.

Kipyegon - Beautiful elegant runner. Thank you, Faith, for making athletics enjoyable.

Faith Kipyegon has proven all her doubters wrong with her world record in Florence. After her win in Rio, the commentator mentioned the injured athlete. Her win in London 2017 was labelled as unpredictable by the commentators. She is now without doubt the GOAT of middle distance running

Kenya's women kit is world class

This particular victory always gets my eyes watery

God bless Kipyegon. She did Kenya proud, just by faith in Our God. May God strength you Faith in every race. Beautiful girl. Congratulations Dibaba. We love you neighbor. You brought the best out of Kipyegon.

here after Faith broke 2 world records: 1500 m and 5000m in June 2023🔥

Great performance from Team Kenya...

6:15 You'd think this is the final lap. Absolutely insane race.

Amazing last 800m. This is real gas!

That was amazing! Go Team Kenya

Funny how the commentators never had their money on Faith Kipyego...On current form alone she was the favorite n not dibaba

The race couldn't have set up better for Kipyegon,........and she knew what to do with the opportunity. She was never in trouble nor impeded.........When Dibaba finally broke for the lead, Laura Muir went right with her while Faith pulled up into 3rd position with a smooth stride. Laura Muir made sure that Faith won this race;....... not intentionally mind you, but the race Laura ran set the table for Faith like she dreamed it could happen. Coming off the last turn on the 3rd lap, Kipyegon went wide to challenge Laura and Genzebe,.......... even though she didn't have to at that point. A wide turn loses ground for the runner, so when Faith did that willingly,........... it could only mean that she had plenty left. Laura Muir pushed Genzebe when she bolted to the lead about mid race. Laura ran very hard and stayed on Genzebe's shoulder so that Dibaba could feel her right there. Dibaba couldn't let her take the lead,. not in the Olympic gold medal race, so she had no choice but to use extra energy to keep the lead. Laura ran on her hip for a lap and a half, essentially wearing Dibaba down enough for Faith to do her thing. While the two leaders battled and pressured each other, Faith slid into 3rd position, watching and waiting to pounce. She was calm and relaxed,............. drafting behind those two while they fought the breeze. Faith not only won but she won big at the best possible time. The joy she expressed was as real and genuine as can be. When an athlete works so hard for so long, and finally the dream comes, the look on their face is as enjoyable to see as the race itself. This young lady,......Faith Kipyegon, was beaming with glee,..........tears flowing like a fountain,.......... and I loved to see it. Faith Kipyegon,...if you read this message,............you did a fantastic job and I'm your new best fan. God Bless you honey,....Mark

I love watching Faith kipyegon 🇰🇪7 years down the line she is still doing magic ❤️

Running is made in Kenya and Jamaica, however, swimming is made in USA. Respect, and absolute class from Kipyegon.

Great performance from Faith Kipyegon. Bravo!

Watching this now. Well done Team Kenya

I’ve been watching faith from the first time she set her foot in the fields…She’s really doing an amazing job, always doing her best… how I wish to watch her one on one … hopefully not more than 3 years from now….. faith you’re really amazing ,I like the way you do it❤️

It's 2022 and still kipyegon is unbeatable

absolute class from kipyego

So happy for those three women!

congrants our girl wow. this is sensational

2021 in Tokyo we are here after winning gold again

7 years later and now she has both the 1500M and 5000M world records. What a disciplined and determined athlete!! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

I love watching this particular race.

The smallest young lady came away the biggest winner.

Kenyan queen Faith Kipyegon was just brilliant

It was a great race. Faith Kipyegon is really awesome and good at finishing.

I just cant get over how Ms. Faith was in number 17 or something..... Yes, that is how you beat the fave...... Ms. Kipyegon, run, gal..... run.... we were cheering you like we were there....

I never get enough of this race

This never gets old !

good to see one kenyan girl beating all those ethiopians.congrants faith for beating genzebe and all those ethiopians including sifan hassan. kenya forever

Proud of you Faith 💪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

7 years later and Kipyegon has broke the world record and proven her critics wrong. How dare you say she won because Dibaba wasn't fit? So sad.

beautiful kipyegon love you😘😘😘

This here is why mid/distance events are so much more exciting to watch than sprints where you blink and you've missed out. Athletes can change things up and react to different strategies and whatever the competition throws at them. Tactically the most exciting races for me at the Olympics were 1500m, 5000m, and 10,000m for the women and 800m, 10,000m, the steeple and the marathon for men. But sometimes, overthinking strategies might turn into a disaster for favourites and make for a complete snooze fest that the men's 1500m was. Spectators didn't get their money's worth for that one.

"the medals have been decided" bud there is still 300m to go, chill

Its the genuine hug btn faith kibyrgon and dibaba for me!.. pure sportmanship

it makes me cry every time I watch...

I think it is fair to say that it wasn't the toe injury for Dibaba, her reign was simply over and a new queen was born.

Absolutely terrible coverage. We missed the most important part of the race as the winner was making her decisive move the camara was watching the 3rd and 4th for a prolonged period, the race was essentially over when we got back to the gold medal battle. Totally spoilt a wonderful race.

The Dibana and Kipyegon embrace is legendary 🙌

Nakuru County's (Kenya) very best talent . We give God thanks for your victory. CONGRATULATIONS Faith Kipyegon.

I love mid & distance races because they can be run in so many ways, unlike the sprints. The cat and mouse game here was so suspenseful.

Incredible race from Faith. But Genzebe should have pushed the pace earlier I think. Incredible focus from Jenny to reel in the bronze!

I can't get enough of this 😀😀😀

Faith the Lone, Kenyan, You are Great. No Show offs, almost Unnoticed. Small among the big girls. What apride for our country, None to gang up with. Congrats Faith.

Great Moments Nice Olympics Memories

kenyans people are very good and polite

Kipyegon. Wow! Just wow!

This 1500m Womens Final is amazing.
