    I don't think many, if any, thought Ingebrigtsen would NOT get a medal.

    2021, Cole Hocker as a freshman at Oregon outkicked Jared Nuguse (Notre Dame) at the 1500M NCAA finals same way he did today - that's the Cole Hocker classic move
  • @SotaMaehara
    When Centro won in 2016, bet not many thought there would be another American gold within just a couple of Olympics time. And it's also cool to think that Cole would've been 15 years old seeing Centro win in 2016

    The fact that Jakob didn't even medal and Josh did is gonna ruin many nights sleep for Jakob.
  • I'm proud of Cole. He has been very consistent in doing what it takes to win gold. Congratulations to all three of the gentlemen!
  • Jakob was so concerned with pushing Kerr out wide he forgot about the rest of the competitors and gave Hocker the perfect opening to steal the race. If Jakob doesn't swing out, Cole would've had to swing out to lane 3 and then make his move and might not have had enough left to get the win after that.

  • @EdJimenez-ux7pi
    Congratulations Cole, Yared, and Josh Kerr. You gave the Olympics the excitement and experience we all crave for!
  • At this moment, Cole Hocker is the greatest 1500 metre runner in Olympic history! I will go as far to say that his style of winning is as good as, or better than Dave Wattle winning 800 gold at Munich in 1972. You are welcome. From Ireland.
