Ingebrigtsen breaks OLYMPIC RECORD! | Men's 1500m final at Tokyo 2020

Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the men's 1500m final at Tokyo 2020 and set an Olympic record as Kenya's Timothy Cheruiyot took silver and Great Britain's Josh Kerr bronze.
Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen has had a dream start to his Olympic career by beating world champion Timothy Cheruiyot and setting a new record to win the men’s 1500m at Tokyo 2020.
At just 20, the European Champion is now the second youngest winner of the event. He had set a blistering pace from the start and held on to the lead for the first lap before Kenya’s Cheruiyot overtook him at the Olympic Stadium. But he stayed close on his heels and on the third bend of the closing lap he made his move and overtook the 25-year-old and crossed the line in 3:28.32 to set a new Olympic record. Cheruiyot took silver in 3:29.01.

This is actually a VERY underrated 1500m race. Notice how the first 6 athletes that passed the finish line all ran under the previous Olympic record of 3.31.65.

[@LifeupNinjaTeam]

how in any way is this underrated???

[@journeymanx219]

@@LifeupNinjaTeam underrated means less noticed than it should be my guy?

[@LifeupNinjaTeam]

@@journeymanx219 I know what underrated means 😂 this is the 2021 Olympic 1,500m final which is arguably one of the most stacked fields, the pace was honest from gun to tape, it resulted in an Olympic record of 3:28, about two seconds away from the World record (mind you a decent amount of championship finals are tactical due to the worthiness of achieving a global medal), it featured lone American Cole Hocker who had outstanding indoor and outdoor collegiate seasons (#2 collegian in the mile of all time, and #9 indoor mile of all time) and the winner and runner-up of this final are Jakob Ingebrigsten, who is known for being a track star since he was just a teenager and being the youngest one to break 4 mins in the mile, and Timothy Cheruiyot, who is notorious for taking the field out quick and always makes it honest. This is not an underrated race at all in my opinion!

[@journeymanx219]

@@LifeupNinjaTeam oh okay I feel you lmao, well I still think the average person didn’t know about this race because I know I didn’t and that’s all he’s saying I think. is that this race is crazy just like you’re saying so the race deserved to be more recognized than it was. But obviously you know a lot more than I do and I’m not kidding so I was just trying to help out lol

[@randyevermore9323]

Timothy C is the ballsiest middle-distance runner since Filbert Bayi. Jakob opens with a 56 first lap, so Timothy says fine, and runs the second in 55. He then proceeds to tow nearly the whole field to PRs. In the Olympic final, yet. What a nice counter to the Rio debacle. All hail Timothy Cheruiyot!

[@Netsfan24]

Crazy how Jakob was able to unleash that kick despite the incredibly fast pace of this final

[@bluerfoot]

It wasn’t a devastating kick, he just has strength the others don’t have off of a fast pace.

And he held off a rapidly charging Kerr at the end. That could be overlooked as an accomplishment. Kerr was totally gassed at that point though.
