I miss Don Whittman and Geoffrey Gowan and their calls of races for CBC ... love the drama and expertise of these two gentlemen.

Stupid Ignorant commentator...name is Hicham (Hisham) not Hikam El guerrouj. what an idiot !! It's like calling Sebastian Coe kebastian Cho...or Steve Ingraham Inkhragam. What an ignorance !!!

That was one of the greatest races ever.

A record that Sebastian Coe broke three times in two years back in 1979-81, hard to believe this record still stands from 1999. What a race and finish.

I was a young man who idolised the likes of Morceli and El Guerrouj. Now we have Jacob Ingebrigtsen who has the potential to be the new greatest. But even he has a big job in his hands to beat El Guerroujs records, which are stellar. The next 2 years will be most interesting. Will Hocker prove me wrong by running a super fast time more than once !

Wow

imagine breaking the world record and yet come in second place salutes to both of them

It's shameful that a footage in 1998 of one of the peak human performances ever has less quality than we have for world wars and way older events

18 y old video on utube wow

Legend

This is ben the world records since I was in day care. This man doesn't get talked about enough

شكون اللي رجع يتفكر الذكريات و الفخر ديال هشام الكروج بسبب أولمبياد باريس؟ ❤

Who's your DADDY...of distance running..theee morracan.,..😅

I hate running myself but watching these dudes both break the former world record is absolutely incredible.

Like Secretariat and Sham in 1973. Both came in under the previous record for the Derby. That time still holds but only the winner Secretariat gets the credit. Just like here: when running faster than the previous world record still gets you second.

CBC use to have some great voices

この当時の彼に現在の最新のスパイクと陸上トラックを与えたら一体どれほどの記録がでるのでしょうか？

hicham ❤ ✌

crazy this still stands

Fake. If you look closely you can see the wires.

Ngeny pushed him all the way. Smashed world record

Why isn’t he more well known?

I don't think anyone realizes how insane this is. El Guerrouj was around 25 at this time with 3:43:13 and then Ngeny was 20 with 3:43:40. 20 what???? Man is a baby. So insane how fast they both went

This has got to be one of the oldest videos on UA-cam.

Was the 2:47.91 split at the 1200m mark, or the 1320 yards (1207.01m) mark?

18 years ago is crazy

They both won $50k off this race. Thats like $100k today

Greatest mile race ever in my opinion

Almost 25 years since he broke the record and 25 years the record hasn't been broken since. That's a quarter of a century!

Superhumans very awesome to watch thanks for posting this ❤

Obviously this is going to go sooner or later...probably sooner at this point, but this has stood a long time, impressive performance by both men

Ngeny was absolutely holding his own against that crazy WR.

I can run a mile in 6-7-8-9 minutes easily

These guys run faster than what most can sprint

Hichem 🎉

As of 2023, there are now four who’ve run 3:43.

This is probably one of the oldest videos on UA-cam.

even 7 minutes per mile is not sufficient for me I take usually 8 minutes to complete a mile. this is really amazing love you Moroccan brother from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

They both broke the record Does that mean that they both each got $50,000Dollars each?

Jakob Ingebrigsten punching the air rn

The fact that there’s almost no people at the stadium to witness that great race blows my mind!

Gerrouj looks like a fast smooth racing car bursting with power and speed but controlled and balance like a luxury vehicle 🏎️

Deja vu

Today's race is almost a carbon copy of this one!

if he still had energy to celebrate then he prob could have ran faster on the final stretch

And he headed straight to the flowers 😮 after that , While most of us would end up in ER for a month if by some means you ran at that pace 😅

I run a 6 , and brag to my wife. I watch this, renew my Netflix and order pizza instead. Damn you El Guerrouj!

راءع هشام الكروج❤ رائع

50 k $ can givies you wings

This video was uploaded in the first year of UA-cam , Sam Thompson you did a Good job . Hicham El Guerrouj is the GOAT
