Olympics 2012: Matthew Centrowitz learns the strategy behind speed

[controversialpostmodernist]

Definitely not the fastest runner out there, but he ran a smart race at Rio. He couldn’t run a 1500 as fast as the Kenyans, so he slowed down the first part of the race and essentially, made it a 600m sprint. Because the Kenyans weren’t built or trained for sprinting, Centrowitz held the advantage.

First American to win the 1500 Gold in the Olympics (Rio) in over a 100 years! This piece was prophetic! He is without a doubt the greatest mile strategist in history, and his closing lap is one of the fastest ever too. To hell with the time; he totally deserves that Gold!

He has a lot of cross path running with his feet when looking at that front angle 0:15

[reinismartinsons]

Most of the strategy is just common sense

[ewanlorimer]

hell yeah they do, this video is pretty pointless. Much more fun to watch him race and analyze his strategy yourself
