7:33 Teamwork at its finest! When Bakkali found himself without space to run, he called on his teammate Tindouft to take the lead and set the pace, allowing Bakkali the space he needed to sprint. Amazing tactics and a well-deserved win! Credit to Tindouft as well! 🤫
Girma was good, he risked it for the gold and didn't slow down before the barrier. Soufiane also showed perfect timing and tactics. Both of them did well. Congrats to the Moroccans L3ez
De drie Ethiopische atleten wilden hem uitschakelen door samen steeds op te sluiten, maar daar was de andere marokaan die ging het plan van de Ethiopische atleten verstoren hij was bijna achteraan toen zei bakkali, kom mij helpen, en de marokaan ging voorin lopen, zo kon bakkali weer vrij lopen
Girma tripping on the barrier and smacking off the ground is why the Steeplechase is the best track and field event in my opinion, it's the risk of that happening and the combination of endurance speed and strength that you need that makes it so compelling. PS: Hopefully all is ok wth him.
Congratulations to Soufian Bakkali for an outstanding victory and securing the gold medal! 🥇 Your performance was remarkable and truly inspiring. 🙌 Also, my thoughts are with Girma-sorry to see him fall, but wishing him a speedy recovery. 🌟 Great sportsmanship all around!
Oh Girma he falls on his head I see the video slow motion Omg , really looking scrary , I hope is Fine , and Congratulations Soufian Bakalli really great tactics
Look at 5:52 ( 7:37 RU-vid time) That is where Bakkali saying to the other moroccan athlete to run and open the way for him. You can see him turning his face to Bakkali and Bakkali saying something. Morocco finest team work! Great to see 🇲🇦
No, I was forgetting Jager's also stunning silver in Rio 2016 after having set the pace of the whole race. Both incredible performances, those of Jager and Rooks.
Congratulations Albakkali you made us proud ❤❤❤❤ speed recovery for Girma, but I think he fell as a result of his nusty and reckless tactic as Albakkali said in the press conference. He was kicking and restricting Albakkali free move, and you can see that before the fall he accelerated recklessly between two runners and pushing slightly Albakkali and this surely caused unbalance and oversight of the obstacle. Anyway, I'm happy for my Moroccan fellow who is the first to keep olympic gold in this distance since 1936 and also happy for the American runner who did exceptionally well
consistens is the key, you in india have the best physical advantages to be good runners. How many indian guy need hours to go to work or to school. It needs just a good schooling and i promise you, you dominate this discipline for years!

seems like Girma had too much of El Bakkali on his mind, he was eager to tackle the Moroccan when he should've stayed in his lane and focused on the hurdle
@@TheNorthstrider No Girma tried to pass him on the wider side? How do you expect him to pass Elbakali without swtiching lane. Also Elbakali was the main challenge for Girma so how do you expect him to forget that one of the best athelete in this event? Some of you have clue about how track and field works, and it shows.
@@firstlast-ep5ru what are you talking about? are you jalous, so pushing your opponent in the race is normal for you ? have you seen the replay? In my opinion such gesture should be punished. Any way we will give you one year to prepare the world chompionshiop, let's see what germa can do.
@@momedalhouma14 It is the nature of this sport. Everybody pushes everybody and it is inevitable when 16 people are running together. There is a tactic to avoid that such as going out earlier than last 200m or bringing the pace up so you can lose people. Elbakali has a huge and unmatched last kick and that is how he wins so he is not gonna change his tactic. This is obviously your first race so welcome to track and field.
@@firstlast-ep5ru come on, what bulshit are you saying, everybody pushes everybody ? According to the World Athletics competition rules: Obstruction: Athletes are not allowed to deliberately impede the progress of another athlete. This includes blocking, pushing, or stepping into another runner's path in a way that interferes with their ability to run their race. By the way, a french athlete was disqualified due to its pushing. As I said let's see what your runner can do next year. let's not count this round... See you next year
@@momedalhouma14 Keyword "deliverately". Do you know what that means? I said it is ineviatble to push and get pushed in long and middle distance running. You cannot forbid that and the word "deliberately" has a huge impact on the sentence you copy pasted. If for example an athelete's performance is impacted by someone accidentally pushing them then they can protest and Olympics Committe will look into that to make sure whether is deliverate or if they were actually affected. Again you must be new and you will warm up to these events but as you watch more and more you will realise that you are expecting the impossible.
@@Gerhard2770 No you didn't. Girma fell and hit his head. He was literally unconcious and was not responding the rest of the race and after. He had to be taken to the hospital (ER) so don't spread BS. Also falling mid race and falling on the last 200m are two totally different things.
The question arises...how? It was a slow race, so that could be the reason why (non-African) Americans are picking medals in African dominated distances.
