"We were definitely the best 3 on the day"

Kerr really rubbing as much salt into the wound as possible lmaooo

[MB-qrxv]

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

[fritztheman]

Something about this interview…the chemistry on that panel was just so refreshing. Three guys on top of the world at their game and yet they demonstrate a composure and classiness that makes one smile.

[thosk]

So so impressed with Cole and Yared in this, what great, humble blokes - clearly so much respect for each other.

[rommelembisan]

Cole. Yared. Josh. Humble, classy, inspirational. Congratulations!

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

[JGreen-tbke]

13:19 - 13:35 the eye contact Josh had on Jared as he answered, and really listened to and look like he took to heart those humble and inspiring words and smiled at the end. I rewound that like 30 times lol such a cool moment

[nathanielapostol]

[EdJimenez-uxpi]

[MolivesTV]

"were you all suprised to not see ingebrigsten on the podium"

Cole: Yea im surprised
Yared: Yea im surprised
Josh: Ermmmm... not really suprised.. 😂

[ytnsanw]

Hocker seems like a very dignified and articulate young man - well done to him in 'flying under the radar'.

[timrohr]

Don’t see any comments about this but it was pretty obvious that Jakob tried to force Josh wide which left the inside open for Cole.

[MichaelJohnson-wktk]

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!

So happy for Hocker and Nuguse! First time since 1912 two Americans have gotten on the 1500m podium. I am shocked Ingebrigtsen didn't medal but hats off to Hocker and Nuguse as well as Kerr!

12:54 "FIRST OF ALL ITS PRONOUNCED YA RED!" 😂😂

[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
