What an incredible burst of speed @ 2:07. That's so hard to do when you're in complete lactosis. Amos is a unique talent.
Agree, it's not like Rudisha was fading too much also. But Amos probably wasn't as fatigued (100% maxed out at the last bend) as the others, so he closed like a madman.
The dude has just done a 44.99 400 m in 2019.
Amazingly, this is the only major final that Rudisha will have lost in his career!
He's coming for Olympics next year. He had an injury in 2019. Fingers crossed
He was coming from injury and had not healed well.
Rudisha is such a respectful runner who is even happy with 2nd place, most runners that are usually unbeatable get upset when they take 2nd, but rudisha wasnt😢👏👏, 2:23
like Mo
@@jonathanhole2972 Nijel Amos too, in that world record race during the 2012 Olympics, Nijel Amos raised his hands up after coming out 2nd place.
@@mizile1486 little bit different, since amos was not the favorite in London
a big man is a big man💪great sportsmanship at its best
Class act!
wooow big up to Botswana love u guys massive talent,brilliant big up lift dat flag high!
Amos ran a 12 second last 100. Maybe even 11.9. Absolutely disgusting, especially for an 800.
Disgusting?
@@WheelinWeenie it'sa slang term for something incredibly impressive.
Harry Garrett not sure where you’re from but in Britain it is
@Harry Garrett It is. Which is why i said it XD
its a shame you see it that way
👏👏 that was good Amos
This was a great tactical race by Rudisha and his teammate. Having your teammate come on the outside during the climx of the race to force other opponents wide and make it difficult for them. All respect to Rudisha as the world record holder and arguably the greatest 800m runner of all time but you can't help but be amazed by the raw speed and turnover of Amos. He actually had to slow down significantly to reposition himself on the outside. Great race
Rising Titan cheating blocking off
Andre Oliver, the south African was Amos' training partner so his presence helped, you see them celebrating together later on.
2:23 he's just amazing
Proud of you Nigel Amos !!We did again !love from Botswana
+Matshane Bronia advise Amos to encourage more youth of your country to run. only one man is running! he can mentor many to come and compete with the record breaking Kenyans.
Lenairoshi Lecard that race should be encouraging enough
I was happy to see Rudisha defend his Olympic title in 2016. Amos used to have fun sitting and kicking but that's all over now. There was some talk of Rudisha coming back but I think he's done. He's a great champion and can rest on his 2 Olympic gold's and he still has the WR.
Just looking at Rudisha now and in the Commonwealth games, ever since his injury he's lost a lot of muscle and got more fat, his legs look much thicker than before. Hopefully he can get back to form and hit near the 1.42s again. By far the most graceful runner i've seen in my life.
Rudisha is training for Tokyo 2020.
He actually overstrides. Look at wilson kipketer if you want a really graceful stride.
David is such a good sport
Congratulations AMOS!!!! #teambotswana
Big up Nijel Amos
Beautiful running from Amos
Amos finishes his races in a most memorable way.
hapi 4 u Nigel, u making us proud boy!
AMOS LOVELY RUN.
iyoo! Amos o ne a tabogile golo ha! #teamBots!
C'mon guys, ths is Commonwealth games, wherez d commntry ????
and we hav one of d grtst events on display here..
suhas a I'm speechless as well bro.
I run this distance in 2:35. Their 600m time is my 450m time. These guys are super humans. What a devastating kick from Nigel Amos. It reminds me of that kick by Yurij Borzakovskiy in the 2004 Athens Olympics 800m final that propelled him to gold.
I ran 1.59 back in1963!!!
@@tesmith47 me to 1:59.80 in 2017, but I am not being sprinter. Im too slow :) Im better at 3 000 steeplechase and 10 000 meters :)
Stunned, respect to Nigel ...
Amon needs gold in Olympics or world championship
wow that was a good race nijel
Why no commentary?
Team BOTSWANA.....keep on making us proud
Amos was blocked but finally won.God bless Africa
Stunning climax🥰
The moment you think you got it and someone suddenly takes it
Homeboy💪💪💪✌
great run
Amos runs like a pregnant woman but the guy is fast honestly
I have noticed that Rudisha has a phobia for wet conditions due to his long strides. He therefore runs them with caution! That's when he gets most of his knee injuries. He seldom takes a risk to run fast during those wet conditions.
proud of u mi guy......
Interesting thing is, this performance wouldn't have won Amos (the winner here) any medal in the London 2012 Olympics; a stage where Rudisha set the world record. The runners were that fast with every one of them running sub 1:44
Even the previous Olympics before the 2012 one, their gold medal would become last place in the 2012 one.
Very slow time, could have been anyone's race especially on a sprint finish as they still had some gas left. Usually Rudisha drains them out of all their reserves from early on and finishes alone unchallenged.
ijoooooooooooooooooooooooooo....... Nigel o swele Mr
damn diz guy z fast
archie letsatle Yea, he is really
oh my God what a goat amos is ?
Yeah but Rudisha is G.O.A.T
3rd place was tight.
Thought this was 2018,I was like the fuck!!!
msana wedu
Plz have a commentator atleast
Rudisha's record remains though
he had a knee surgery in 2013.This was like his slowest major final
yah bco they kept blocking amos
1:45? They were hobby jogging, these guys are all 1:43 or under they were playing it tactical
How you run 1:47 and come last i would fucking cry got damn!
Rudisha knows he is not sure that he will win it as it shows her face first
is this the dawn of a new era in 800?
Amos will burn himself out. Let him not compete with kenyans because talents like Rudisha are produced in kenya everyday. Nenda pole pole na Wakenya bwana Amos.
+Gibbs Jakatiga ..there is a lot of talent like Amos produced everyday in Botswana, problem is sport is not taken seriously!!! there are even better runners than Amos, who opt to get a Uni degree rather than take to sport!!!
+TheMojaman I agree, Africa in general has a lot of untapped talent.
+TheMojaman That can be said towards just about any place or person in the world... If every human was put into this kind of rigorous task world records would be set much quicker.
Talent is everywhere. Good luck Amos. I pray for you
3-1
This makes me think of my 100 meter kick in my 800 my coach said the final 100 I ran was about 12 seconds lol I miss track season already
Sorry dude but I find that highly unlikely. You must have jogged the first 700 m and then sprinted the last straight. Or you need to run something around a 11.4 100 m open.
I thought rudisha was sick that day ,,look him face,,is like something wrong with him
Knee surgery in 2013
If rudisha won the applause would have been crazy but y'all did amos bad😂no applause at all
Están Bromeando verdad?, cuándo comenzó esa carrera y qué perdiera David Rusdha yo me decía tienen qué padre algo a Rusdha y así fue Wuao perderse con un fatal tiempo de1:45/ cuándo El mismo Rusdha a hecho 1:41 y 1:40 algo Realmrnte le paso a David Rusdha.?
I ran this distance in 2:16.15 and im 16 and that last burst of energy at the end hard.
Apple Pi Ha gotem
I run 2:06 I'm 15
in this race rudisha should've went harder all the way because he cant out kick amos
Amos our product, this guy is much more stronger
Race is 5sec. Slower then olampic race
Look at these two bad men. They were blockiny Amos from overtaking. This is bad
And now...Doping boy 😅😅😅
Fast forward to 2019, and what bothers me most about Nijel Amos is his inconsistency. With the world record holder out of commission, the fact that Amos didn't take the 800m title in Doha this year is particularly irksome.
I mean, he didn't run? If he would have been able to run, it's pretty likely he would have taken it.
@@Leo99z Big stages are about big performances. We remember the true greats, the Sergey Bubkas, the Bob Beamons, the Ed Moses, etc, precisely for how they rose to and overcame challenges great and small. An athlete who battles his way back from injury to reproduce his best days is something to behold.
@@helenikua1790 But now I don't think he have chance to compete becouse he drink alcohol alot🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bonifacenjuguna7453 Is that right.
@@helenikua1790 after his wife divorce him😊😊😊😊
When amos and rudisha retire Kenya still hv junior coming up but for Botswana I doubt
Jane K what makes you think like that?
Yaa neh, Jane K here thinks the Kenyans have the monopoly of running talent. Sorry to disappoint you Jane, but we do have some young blood coming up. And they are poised to give your Kenyan children a run for their money.
We have letsile beating omanyala 6 yrs later😂😂
2:28 anyone else notice the tounge?
I am going to break the 800m record... remember the name David O...
Yeah he beats rodisha at his worst shape
While Rudisha's teammate tried to block Nijel Amos from passing by.
No disrespect ,Rudisha will forever remain the greatest but here Amos acceleration was just amazing ,the moment he changed lanes and powered forward ,it was like a bmw overtaking corollas.It seemed like he had just joined them at that spot and was still fresh
What the f**k thought this was for 2018........
