0:25 HE WAS DETERMINED😭😭

and he still beat him

Now that's what you call professional

Excuse me???

thiddle 💀

Wasn’t he a pacemaker? Do they even get medals if they somehow end up finishing on the podium? Has it ever happened?

@@lupsik1 They get medals, as they're registered the same way as other participants. One duty of a pacemaker is to make sure race tactics don't go out of control. Sometimes racers will deliberately go much slower, to conserve energy for the last leg of the race, and will only make sure they keep up with the leader. The leader, knowing this, also slows down to conserve energy. After all, their final time doesn't matter, just coming in first matters. Eventually they all move at a snail's pace, waiting for the final sprint. A pacemaker prevents this tactic because their whole point is to set a decent final time, even if they don't win. Now the other racers can't slow down that much, because if they want to win they'll need to set a better time than the pacemaker. If the pacemaker can't win, then this pressure doesn't exist. The racers would just ignore the pacemaker. And yes, there are many instances of pacemakers winning their races.

@@Kalidascorp Interesting! I didn't even know this was a thing. I assume it's not just theoretical either, that this phenomenon actually occurs in longer races that don't have a pacemaker.

@@studentofsmith Here is what a typical 1500m race looks like: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5xRpTK9CUKk.html. The start of the race is typically just a jog, and the winner's final time will be very far from their fastest possible time. Here is an ice skating event where one of the racers takes advantage of the slow pace: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qgl1GITk0Js.html. And here is what the start of an Olympics bicycle race looks like: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8cL1lXDNSJQ.html. The bicycle race is a bit of a strange case though, as it is head to head, and the first part of the race isn't actually timed. The rules were adjusted to fit the tactics in that case. The leader has a slight disadvantage due to no slipstream, so that's what happens. That's one of the other duties of a pacemaker, to be the leader so none of the "actual" racers get the disadvantage of being the leader.

Must've been his first time running that event.

@@fullmetalgamer6062 I think so

I understand coming out hard for an 800 but it's common sense that it's a death wish for 2 miles. It doesn't even work for 400

Bro doing that on the 3200 is crazy 😭

bro my lazy ass can never do this i can never run track im unfit

Idk if he didn’t wanna win he would have paced the first lap better.

If you know anything at all about track and running, you’d know he did a shit job at pace setting. His goal was to win, and he failed miserably.

pacers aren’t supposed to finish the race

@@Cinclodes But they can and have before. He was obviously trying to in the first lap at least. Either way he did a terrible job at pacing…

They actually told him to run a world record pace which he did. Just that nobody tried to go for it.

Do you know what the video name is or what race it was?

@@topsportshorts2906 Chinese speed skater tricks competitors | Things You Missed

Genius

that only work because she is so far better than others, and its a trick to get her teammate 2nd place, she basically won gold and silver

​@@fergusdenoon1255 Thanks! That was crazy good, super clever tactic :D

Do you not understand that he clearly was not acting as a pacemaker here?

@@medogerty6013 he went through 400 close to what ridisha ran in the 2012 Olympic finals. As a pacemaker he was meant to pace the other runners to a fast time. They decided to run a tactical race instead, leaving him disproportionately ahead of the field. I believe he was also told to run 600 anyway

@@tynibbs5759He would’ve stepped off the track if that were true, and he clearly ran a lot faster than he was told to. Nobody here was trying to set a world record. Bro got cocky, idk why y’all are trying to “defend” him.

@@alidemirbas6566 Do you not understand that I understand that? He went way too fast to be setting the pace for everyone else. When he realized his mistake, he decided to go for the win and died. So even though it was his job to set the pace, he was not acting as a pacemaker here.

@@medogerty6013 he was, he went out at WR pace but the rest did not follow, their fault not his.

that was WR pace which he was told to do, the field just decided not to go for it.

WINDING UP GUITAR STRING TOO TIGHT

No he was a pacemaker

The 600m race doesn't exist at this level. He never thought it was 600m.

(Assuming they can do this, i dont actually know if you can sprint that long or if someone's already tried it or anything)

No shit sherlock

Maybe something you should practice by yourself first to understand why others don't Tbf, sometimes you do find out you're special.

This is not his job. He just had to carry them for a given time (a world record time) but the other runners preferred to do a strategic race.

That doesn't sound right, as 600m is not an event at this level. He was told to pace the 800m through 600m, at which point he should have exited. The other runner simply decided not to follow him. No athlete in the right mind would believe for a second that it was a 600m event.

WINDING UP GUITAR STRINGS TIGHT

600m event? Hahaha you never watched or did any track and field did you?
