im not a fan of knowing the result before the race, maybe dont post the results in the description?

First time getting emotional watching a running race. Hoare is the king

[@martinwalsh9862]

well won down the outside. respect

[@jessicakiss5066]

How do you get revenge over a disappointing World Champs? By regrouping a fortnight later to beat the current & former World Champions in a Games Record. Stoked for Olli, pure class!

[@martinbaccardax5366]

3:30 ... blistering ... amazing race! Well done Olli!

Love to explore your chocolate starfish that succulent exquisite tight aromatic pruritus ani covered delicious treat

[@steelerbacker58]

I loved everything about how this race was covered. The tight camera angles and amazing, informative commentary. Well done! This is probably the best production of a world class middle distance race I've seen.

[@bremCZ]

Nice to see the kiwi chap on his shoulder congratulating him immediately too.

[@AndrewInSydney]

First gold medal for Australia in this event since Herb Elliot in 1958. Congrats Ollie👍

[@GeoAce777]

Damn 64 years, would have never guessed that far back

[@redd605]

Well deserved gold, medal, and , well deserve bronze for Jake . Difficult for all the athletes, coming from the world championship , with the little recovery time, and Jake has the European championship next week.

[@johnmartin7158]

Outstanding achievement.

[@AndrewInSydney]

In 1958 Herb ran 3:59 but they used to run 1 mile in the Commonwealth Games until it switched to 1500m in 1970.

[@dieterhead4379]

Waiting for Olympic medal and world Records then. Ollie can do it.

[@mokolokomo]

Insane, that burst 15m from the line! Mind blown 🤯.

[@FascinateNonExoticKeepers]

Underrated performance by Cheruiyot. He’s definitely the class of any 1500 race he’s in, always ensuring it’s fast and giving it an honest pace from the start. I think a lot of Jakob’s racing tactics and strengths can be attributed to his rivalry with Cheruiyot in the years leading up to the Olympics.

[@Agent-yu7vf]

Outstanding performance and I loved that it was a NZ runner than came to congratulate him. The Aussie/Kiwi bond is alive and well. 💞

[@masonmarshall9727]

Ive never screamed so much from watching a race on youtube, way to go OLLIE!

Seeing Jake and Ollie winning the Worlds and Comm games respectively- what a season !!

[@totallyjackoroadto800]

Amazing race. Ollie was gutted after missing out at the world champs this makes up for it. And the fact he was able to beat Jake's wightman

[@firstbornjordan]

Sensational effort by Ollie Hoare in a class field. All your hard work has paid off Ollie, making us proud and putting 1500 back in the spotlight where it always belonged. Great upload Runners Unite.

[@bentosekai]

[@ronald142able]

First 1500m Commonwealth gold medal for Australia since Herb Elliot in 1958. Herb went on to win gold at Rome in 1960. Can Ollie Hoare do the same at Paris in 2024?.

[@Only.Track.]

Personally I think he has a solid chance.

[@NewMavericks]

Masterclass in 1500m tactics and end finishing kick by Ollie! Great to see him feeling the joy at the end!

[@Deanodpp]

I'll never forget this race for the rest of my life, video replays are a blessing....

What a fooking brilliant finish... you stick with the leaders.. and then at the last moment... kick it out and go for gold... Mate.. Ollie Ollie Ollie, oi oi oi... well done you done every one proud, especially your Pop who gave you that last push..

Excellent call he gave the top 5 a chance on the turn and built up the excitement for the Aussies in the last 100 metres unlike the other Engilsh caller who sounded disappointed when Ollie won.

Ollie's run was so perfect - especially how he accelerated in the last straight without going into struggle zone. Is this textbook perfection or what?

Wow Oli running on pure self hate at the end. Coffee club goated

The Australian has such a relaxed style. Thirty meters from the end , he looks like he is out for a stroll.

Having lived in Australia back in the 80's as a Brummie i live a stones throw from Alex.. Stad.. remember Ovett, Coe, Cram i guess who was commentating & Ollie was certainly up there tremendous.

Finished strong right through the line. Well done 👍

[@lanagorgeous9485]

Ollie is awesome, so happy for him. He is one of those rare runners who can either win a championship race or come in last place in that same race. It's hard to figure out, but if he ever figures this out and is more consistent he would be incredible, maybe 2nd only to Jakob.

[@trevorturner8037]

I still believe to this day that if Ollie would have made it to the finals in the World Champs last year he would have been a gold medal contender. After his second place finish at the Pre Classic and after his 3:47 mile I thought the win in the 1500m was gonna be between him and Jakob and then Jake Wightman surprised me. huge congrats to him tho. I feel like he will be a huge threat in this years World Championship

J'ai du talent mais je sais pas comment faire pour participer à ce genre de compétition 😢

[@ferglesnerk]

As an Aussie watching this, two things stood out. The first? The commentators overwhelming love for Jake Wightman. He had him winning the gold before the race, it was gold at the 400m mark, then the 800. The commentator had Jake Wightman winning gold at every point in this race and then the Aussie won. The second thing that stood out? THE AUSSIE WON!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@johnstirling6597]

Commentator was Steve Cram, knows a thing or two about running.

[@Sqid101]

​@@johnstirling6597 Yes, he knows a thing or two about running, but even the most intelligent and knowledgeable of us can sometimes get just a tad carried away and can be a just a tad biased toward our own folk. I'm a Kiwi, by the way, and I honestly did get just a teeny-weeny bit annoyed by the commentary. There was a point where someone was pointing out that they were, of course, all just playing into Wightman's hands. At that point I started arguing with him. I started almost shouting at him in an Aussie accent: "Ya reckon do ya, mate?" "Bollocks ya silly bugger!"

[@johnstirling6597]

@@Sqid101 Likewise, me a Kiwi, (have not lived in NZ for 40 years). I was always on the Ollie train, if you know a bit of his back story this was always going to be his make or break moment considering recent events, a shame Stewart McSweyn was not in the field, but still would have backed Ollie. I didn't think Wightman could back up in 2 major champs so close together, was really happy to see Sam Tanner run the time he did, great future for him. Geordie Beamish should have been in the 1500 not the 5k. There you have it. 😁😁

Has the dominance of middle distance running of the African continent being broken?

[@redd605]

The crowd was fantastic for the athletics, but the BBC coverage ,was not, because most of the event was not shown on the main channels , and swimming seem to dominate the main channels.and why the European championship was the best coverage last year

[@dozoneil1253]

We are robbers, liars, adulterers, sinners, when we go to the court, the only way to pay for what we did is to go to prison (you can’t do good deeds to repay the bad you’ve already done, you have to face the consequences of your actions), if our sin was done against a policeman, the time spent in prison will be higher; judge higher, president; higher, the punishment against God is eternal prison, but if we have someone that will pay our debt we will be set free and this person is Jesus Christ. If you accept in your heart that He died for your sins, today, you will be saved and you’ll never be able to lose your salvation.
