Men's 800 Meter Finals WERE INSANE! || 2024 Paris Olympics

Unreal...

[DODO-cbgq]

Running a 1:41.67 and not even making the podium is crazy

[TotalRunningProductions]

UPDATE - Marco Arop in 2nd Ran a 51.1 opening 400 followed by a 50.1 2nd lap. A negative split at that pace is scary. Will the world record be broken soon?

[darthsilversith]

Wild that Hopel can break the US record by almost a full second.. AND NOT EVEN MEDAL!! It’s like Cole Hocker 2021-2023 all over again! Running times that would win gold most years but has the misfortune of running against the most stacked 800 field of all time!

[neilwinter]

Feel bad for Hoppel. Dude ran extremely well we're proud of him. Next time

[robinbauer]

Bryce destroying brazers rolled ahh 800m record by almost half a second and not medaling is insane and just shows how far the 800 has evolved over the last few months

[steph]

No reason why Arop can’t break the record. He was 0.01 behind Kenyan winner today.

[k.o]

Tebogo needs a vid asap 😂
Splitting 43.03 fastest split out of all 400m and he aint a 400m runner.... after running 100, 200 and 4x400m prelim...nah thats too much he only took 1 day off during the whole competition...😭😭

[dariusz_darson_]

This was definitely the most insane 800m I ever saw. Second lap was like 🤯🤯🤯

[CarlFredrik-uocu]

1:41.67 and 3:28.24 gets you 4th place now?? It's just insane how the level is these days.

[catherineitebete]

Well done Wanyonyi.. Kenya is proud of you

[rogercarl]

I would like to see one day the 800m run under 100 seconds or 1:40. Wenyonyi is the most likely to do it. Arop, Sedjati and others also have a shot and the field being so good it is hard to not to push each other. Good time to be a 800m fan.

[johnpsmith]

Did you really say that this was "one of the best 800m races of all time!"? I have to one up you here . . . it is the BEST 800m race of all time. There have only been 24 times anyone has ever broken 1:42 and 4 of them were in this single race. 3 of the top 10 times of all time were from this single race. of the top 5 performances of all time, 3 of them occurred in this race. Of the top 10 fastest 800m athletes of all time, 5 of them ran in this race. Not just one of the best races, simply the best race of all time.

[NarutoJK-jhtr]

I’m Kenyan and OMG 😭 I was so absorbed into the race with Wanyoni I completely ignored how fast they were going, I actually thought they were going slow at 400.
Then they just turned on the jets. 1:41.19 is remarkable, I cannot believe the possibility of rudishas WR going down is real. Insane race

[thedailystride]

Damn. Wanyonyi is a beast! Can’t believe I’m saying it but WR really is possible

[javanm-a]

Idk what it is but why are the 800 times so fast this season?? Before 2024, the last time 1:42 was broken was 2012. This season, 5 different athletes have broken 1:42.

[robinbauer]

No upload on men’s marathon 😢
Bekele distance goat
Kipchoge arguable one of the best ever in the marathon

[wanjikuroki]

Congrats Emmanuel, for the gold. Kenya lost the marathon to Ethiopia, happy for this🎉🎉🎉

[khalils]

Only 20 yrs old and is this close to the World Record, imagine if this gets broken before the end of this year !!!

[Rayer]

I expected it to be fast but not that fast, 1:41 for 4th place is crazy

[alecmajarucon]

I mean, Hoppel ran as good as he could have hoped for, and this was a gold medal performance. It just wasn't enough today. How was anyone supposed to know that this race would suddenly be so fast this year? Better luck next year. But not a smite against him. Symmonds had essentially the same situation in 2012 and he medaled the following year. but even if that doesn't materialize, I can be content with what he did today.
