Everyone loves a humble elite athlete, Nguse's 3 rd place was a medal he really deserved.

[richardalvarez]

As a josh and jakob fan, the egos that were developing in the year preceding this final and potentially a rivalry that could become bitter, this was a great result, a slap back to reality. Fantastic entertainment and racing. PB's, NR's, Olympic record, just wow!

[lnrdo]

Talk about under the radar! Hocker ran his own race the whole time, quietly making his way into striking distance, then when he saw his one opportunity for glory, he took it. Great stuff.

[ToniSerban-btmk]

Hocker's sprint at the end was pure insanity 😮. He had to slow down because Mr.4th was in the way, and then started sprinting again. Blows my mind.

This will go down in history as one of the greatest Olympic races of all time.

No world records broken, just pure competition and an underdog stealing victory at the final stretch against two big rivals 🏃‍➡️🏃‍➡️

I knew he would win like a year ago. He's got the Prefontaine spirit. Tough as nails.

In german language (Germany, Austria, part of Switzerland) there is a saying:
Wenn zwei sich streiten, die vermeintlichen Favoriten, freut sich der Dritte.

When two people fight, the supposed favourites, the third one has the last the laugh

[kevinjordan]

I swear these Olympics deliver the best finish we can get.

[vpoistblaznei]

Now that’s a heart of a champion. Incredible race run by Hocker medal 🏅

[salouhimohammed]

3:26.0 still standing after 26 years since Rome 1998

[pezzandre]

he made a final acceleration that left the whole world speechless 🥇🇺🇸

[David_]

The Norwegian dude was like like a diamond league pacemaker in this race.

[andreasbergmann]

What we learned is that the first three in that race can run a high 27 if they have a pacemaker start to finish line.

[ΜΑΡΙΟΣΓΚΑΤΖΙΑΣ]

Crossing finish line like Kenderis !!!

[Marktb]

Kerr is a great man, he'll likely be back again 👍

[mauort]

I was low key rooting for Hocker for a long time, but doubted my boy...now I know better

[CarlFredrik-uocu]

No other runner in history could've frontrun a 3:28.24. Prove. Me. Wrong.

[apayauq]

annoying that the title and thumbnail spoils this race

[seifenhasedreizehn]

Sry to drop this, but I am most confident that these years athletes have used the modern CO2 doping that bikers use as well. The winner never ran 3:30 before. To me, this is just too sketchy.

[ProSab]

So Hocker won the gold medal and he didn't even have his name mentioned in the title of the highlights video?
