The greatest race ever. Wire to wire, no break in the wind for two laps, and one of the bravest efforts I’ve ever seen. Rudisha had no fear at all, and greatness for the other competitors was drawn out.
I hate it when people just comment about the video before even watching it. In this case, you were way off what the subject of the video was. But yeah, I agree with you.
@@timmytheinventor4746 hey gimme your thoughts on the "great 400 hurdle race." I have a nagging feeling at the back of my mind that prevents me from really appreciating these guys because I know deep down they are only hurdling because they are too slow for the 400 flat.
@@mathieudube6907 Think about it this way - Warholm demolished his world record in the hardest sprint event in track and field, nicknamed the mankiller. I don't think we can bring the 400 flat into this. I mean, let's be honest here - Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner probably wouldn't be good at the 400mH either, but Warholm and Rai are elite at at least two events (maybe not Olympic medal worthy at the 400 flat, but still elite). They're two totally different events, even though they are the same distance, there's a lot more you need in the 400mH to be great at it as opposed to the flat 400m. You need a greater lactic acid threshold, a greater pain threshold, great rhythm, and stronger stamina and endurance. It's basically like the 400, just upgraded in terms of athletic ability. That race was great. Sure, they may have been too slow for the 400 flat, but, that wasn't their event. Wasn't their focus.
Fun fact: back when I used to live in Kenya, as a cool meeting that my school did on our annual cross country track meet (all private schools in Kenya meet together to compete for pretty much every track event), on the following school day we had a surprise encounter with David Rudisha organized by the school. I actually have a photo of him holding me, and he taught us some pretty cool stuff during PhE, and, having won the under 15 1500m and having come 18 out of 300 in the 5km cross country, this was super cool as an experience. I also have met the entire Kenyan rugby team, and one of their players was our school PhE coach, and I also met Julius Yego at school as well.
I don't believe he was a junior. Just a nagging suspicion. I think he was born maybe around 1988, and was on the right drugs at the right time before falling off.
You missed the main thing about Amos which is that it was documented that he was trying to be a nightclub DJ in 2013 and was reportedly spending weeks at a time without training at all living a lifestyle that was not conducive to elite athlete development. There was an in-depth LRC thread about this where people speculated he might have spent as many as 5 years doing the DJ thing. I was pretty sure that when he changed training groups recently he alluded to having lost years due to not having his priorities straight so I always thought it was referencing the DJing.
You must do the New York Marathon between Paul Target and Hendrik Raamala, this was race that I enjoyed seeing before the Battle of Bekele and Sir Mo and the others Amos is really super
Amos is an amazingly talented athlete who would have had a lot more success had he got his pacing right in a lot of races. As for the 2012 800m Olympics - definitely one of the best races ever imo. Awesome to watch.
Thinking about the fastest race in history, you could also make an argument for the 400m hurdles in Tokyo. 5 of the 10 fastest times in history were run in this race, with 3 runners beating the previous world record. And Warholm breaking the 46s barrier will also be unmatched for a good while, I believe.
The mens 800m final at the 2012 Olympics was the third greatest track race of all time. Number 2 was the women's 10,000m final at the 2016 Olympics. Number 1 was the men's 400m hurdle final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This is based mainly on the IAAF scoring tables and adding up the scores of the top 8 finalists. A "great" race, to me, is defined by a smashing of a world record, multiple personal records, multiple national records, and an amazing depth of high level performances. The IAAF tables attempts the equalize performances between all events. The men's 400m hurdle final in Tokyo is the only event in history to break 10,000 points for the combined scores of the top 8 finishers.
@@joeyd4364 both the men’s and women’s 400mh races at tokyo are a bit questionable. tokyo as well as eugene are the two fastest tracks in the world said to be 1% faster than any other track. in both the hurdle races they happened to be broken by about 1%. 400mh race as tokyo was definitely out of this world but i don’t think you’re comparing apples apples comparing it to other races
@@joeyd4364 Greatness is relative. You can't just make it something that *so* many people would disagree with. That can be your definition, but it won't be other people's definitions by far.
If you talk by perspective of the quality of the field. 2012 100m finals is unrivalled. Just because Usian Goat was unparalleled made others look a bit slow. But that's my single greatest ever.
Of the 5 athletes who have run under 1 minute 42 seconds 3 are from the previous century and Seb Coe is still the joint third fastest of all time dating back to 1981 forty years ago , these great performances have really stood the test of time.

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THE FASTEST SPLIT EVER AT 60M DURING A 100M RACE. SU BINGTIAN SPLITTED A TIME OF 6.29 AT 60M SURING TOKYO SEMI-FINALS WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING AND BROKE THE 100M ASIAN RECORD IN THIS SAME RACE (9.83)!!!!!!
Best 80 race is defenetly London 2012 or my favourite Olympic final 1988 Paul Erengs gold with upsetting Joachim Cruz at defending his title while a 5.000m/10.000m athlete like Auoita took a promising bronze first 200m of this 2 lap race were run in 23 second 🤯
Can you make a video of the olympic 100 meter semi final in tokyo? Su ran a 6,29 for his 60 meter split, which is 0,02 seconds faster than bolts world record and it is the fastest 60 meter ever

I have a feeling that's not right. I mean you couldn't have looked at every single modern world record race in the history of track and field and added those IAAF scores together.
@@timmytheinventor4746 I didn't look at every race in history; I didn't have to do that to reach my conclusions. I only had to analyze about 10 races that stand out as great world record performances and then look at the results of the top 8 in the field. Even great individual performances like Bolt (2008) and Flo Jo (1988) didn't even come close to being a great overall race. The so called "Greatest Race" (Men's 200m final 1996) also wasn't close to achieving a high score. Any track race over 30 years old also wouldn't come close to achieving 10,000 points for the combined score of the top 8 finishers. I'm a bit of a track geek and I can't think of any track race that would score higher than the 400m hurdle final in Tokyo 2020. If you have any candidates, let me know and I could do the math. Thanks.
@@joeyd4364 That’s a pretty good way of looking at it. One thing to note though: if you compare around the top 15-30 ranked athletes in any given event, the scoring tables aren’t always the most consistent (for example, the 16th ranked decathlete is 1235 points, while the 25th ranked pole vaulter is 1266). This weakness is particularly prevalent when comparing men’s and women’s events. For men, a typical 25th all time ranking will be worth around 1250 points, while for women it’ll be closer to 1220. With that in mind, your way of comparing all-time great competitions will tend to favour certain events like the men’s pole vault over others, like the women’s hammer throw. Women’s events in particular will not get as much credit.
@@Elliottklassen Those are all good points. But can you think of a better way to compare athlete's performances over different events and genders over time? Also, their is probably an ebb and flow between events over time. For example, an athlete's performance that scores 1250 points and is ranked 25th may be ranked 10th in the future for the same performance; or possibly ranked 35th or so. Some events may be in favor worldwide for decades and then be out of favor due to the lack of top superstars in that event. Like I said, ebb and flow.
@@joeyd4364 Yeah, you’re exactly right, although I was speaking about all time rankings, meaning that it’s of all performances in history, not just any given year. So that will mean you don’t necessarily get the same ebbs and flows like you were talking about. As for better ways to evaluate things, I’m not sure. It’s pretty hard to say. Like I said, overall, your way is a good way of looking at it, it will just favour certain events more. If I were to do a different way, maybe I would add the all time rankings of all the performances in any given competition (for example, with the times run in the men’s 400mH in Tokyo, Warholm’s times would rank him 1, Benjamin 2, McMaster 8, Copello 33, etc. Adding all these rankings together totals to a score of 316. Or if we wanted to only look at the top 7, 123. The lower the number, the better the competition). Of course this way of evaluating competitions has all sorts of problems of its own, though it will be consistent in certain ways more than your way (like women’s events will be mor fairly evaluated). In the end, I don’t think there is any one good way to evaluate performances, and it’s far kore important to recognize the weaknesses in each method, and use multiple evaluation methods in order to fill in the gaps.
Everyone was rooting for their own countrymen because we knew the caliber of talent in the 2012 Olympic 800 meters made the margin of tactical error a very small one. One mistake and those medals could have gone to anyone.
I rate that Nick Symmomds has actually watched this vid 😅 What a run from him, must be one of the best performances over any distance to miss out on a medal
The only race that may be better and my greatest race of all time is the Tokyo 2021 Olympic 400m hurdles. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd all broke the previous WR and Karsten Warholm and Rai Benjamin just destroyed it. Almost every athlete in that race set national and regional records and had Personal bests.
In my opinion, I think this is what happened: "Me: NA, can you honestly tell us what happened after London 2012.? NA: I lost focus, discipline and I had too much s*#!🤦♂️"
His improvement was probably down to learning about an optimal diet pre race and mixing in and increasing long distance running, running along side with his main 800s and sprint training, 800s is about endurance saving energy in the tank for that main last sprint, so basically a conditioned sprinter with the vo2 max to hold that speed.

with all due respects, the single greatest race ever was men's 400m hurdles Tokyo 2021
Agreed. He says you needed to run a top 30 time to medal in this 800, but for the 4 hurdles you needed a top 3!
Bison ! #rungum
Amos the belters are approaching the martians. Amos!
Dream in a nutshell
I'd say Warholm's WR in Tokyo is even more impressive. 1 WR, 3 ARs, 6 NRs, 6 PBs, and 1 SB
hi
He could get bronze in Eugene 2022.
his tactics are so annoying 😭
This year's Tokyo Olympics 400m final. That is all.
The mens 800m final at the 2012 Olympics was the third greatest track race of all time.
Number 2 was the women's 10,000m final at the 2016 Olympics.
Number 1 was the men's 400m hurdle final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
This is based mainly on the IAAF scoring tables and adding up the scores of the top 8 finalists. A "great" race, to me, is defined by a smashing of a world record, multiple personal records, multiple national records, and an amazing depth of high level performances. The IAAF tables attempts the equalize performances between all events. The men's 400m hurdle final in Tokyo is the only event in history to break 10,000 points for the combined scores of the top 8 finishers.
If you don’t at least consider Lovelock in Hitlers 1936 Germany then you basically know nothing about the history of track.
No
