Full race replay of the Women's 1500m event from the London 2012 Olympic Games (10 August).
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

People never fail to complain about the "slow" times in these Olympic races. What could possibly be more irrelevant than the finishing time? What matters is who brought home the medals. You're never likely to see record times in races this important because no individual is going to risk her medal chances by taking the pace out all by herself. The only exception is when an 800 meter runner of superhuman ability like Rudisha decides to throttle the race from the starting gun. Anything longer than half a mile, and the pack is going to work together to catch the front runner.

[@kale3563]

no one seems to understand events longer than 800m are more tactical than speed..

The race might have been slower than these athletes could run if they were going for time, but they were going for the win, meaning that a slow start is used with strategy.

But now they are doing blood passports to detect any changes between tests rather than just looking for substances. It's a good start. I'm glad they caught Cakir Alptekin, but I am still suspicious of Bulut. Look at her last lap, she tried to make a break already with less than 400 to go, so it's a little unusual to think she could just kick twice like that at the end of a 1500. Props to her if she could... If not, then I feel for Maryam who deserved the gold. `

Quite insulting when you see a cheater thanking her deity for cheating.

[@stardust7469]

Exactly True. What a shame to the Olympics when athletes cheat.

Morgan Uceny was a little cry baby in this one. There was plenty of distance left to run. They hadn't started kicking yet and and if she would've gotten up she might have a medal by now considering all the cheats. She was one of the fastest in the field. Shame she decided to just sit there and bang the track when there were still people going by her

[@Fatima502]

Have a heart, the same thing had happened to her at the previous years World Championships.

[@egemenkirim3755]

Bizi bitirdin be Aslı.

Jamal, Rowbury, Uceny is what the places would have been if not for the doping and tripping of Uceny by Aregawi.

[@gman9479]

Turkish runners... what a Big Shame. Please save the rest of the clean athletes heartache by not showing up dopped.... Shame on you number 1 and 2.... celebrating as if you won out of hardwork..... little did we know that you were Drug cheats. Big Shame on you.

Congratulations turkey from Ethiopia.if you don't know my countries we hold all long distance world records

[@markgable101]

Well done Turkish girl. She was determined to get to the finish line first. And in so doing inspired her compatriot also. That's what sports is all about. Sports is emotion and inspiration too..

[@TheBdd4]

Emotion and inspiration? - Both were found to be dopers and lost their medals.

[@forreal2398]

They need to force them to run a decent pace and set the times they have to at least run for all but the last lap and if they do not meet those splits then they are DQd.

[@daniel-ge6gc]

imagine doping and getting outrun by a clean athlete LMFAO

[@ajrocks12x]

Both Turkish runners were doper and banned multiple times. It's ridiculous they were ever allowed to compete taking away the acclaim that should have been given to Jamal
