I hope this doesn’t spoil the video for anyone but you’ve also got to mention the fact that she took a break from the sport in 2018, had a daughter and smashed the WR still. It’s one thing to come back to the sport after a pregnancy and it’s just a whole other impressive feat to basically pick up where you left off. Good videos as always. Didn’t know she’d been running it since ‘11 😮💨
It's irrelevent and doesn't speak on her performances. And pregancy isn't a disease. Women generally return to be very normal like they were prior to pregnancies in all carreer fields. This is really not a surprise.
@@akinwunmioluwaseun3772are you saying being pregnant is a disease, that pregnant women are sick and it bad, I always thought pregnancy was a beautiful thing
A forgotten athlete is Nafi Thiam. She is the first athlete with three multi-event gold medals at the Olympic Games, winning the heptathlon at the 2016 Rio, 2020 Tokyo and 2024 Paris Olympics. Her three individual Olympic golds in a row for a woman equals the record of Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland in the hammer and Faith Kipyegon in the 1500 metres. Thiam is also the only Belgian athlete to successfully defend an Olympic title.
@@santilanaknows5308 Sifan Hassan won the gold in the 5'000m and 10'000m in 2021, but then also bronze in the 1'500m. In 2024 she won bronze in the 5'000m and 10'000m. In 2019 though, she won the 10'000m and 1'500m double, which has never been done by anyone else ever. Now, concerning Nafissatou Thiam, the issue is that the G.O.A.T. of the heptathlon is Jackie Joyner-Kersee without any question as she was so dominant with her top 5 performance being far above anyone else in history. Her world record is so good that nobody will break it any time soon. Also, Nafissatou Thiam broke 7'000 points, but not the European Record of Carolina Klüft. If you want to be a G.O.A.T., you should at least be able to break the Area Record that isn't even the World Record. If we look at Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, in case someone would point it out. she neither has the area, nor National Record, because first the Area Record is the World Record and second, Elaine Thompson-Herah is of the same country and had a more favorable wind in her 10.54s (+0.9 m/s) in 2021 than Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce in her 10.65s (-0.8 m/s) headwind performance in 2022 which could've easily been a 10.54s or lower as well, still with legal wind.
Faith Kipyegon could possibly be the first woman to break 14 minutes for 5000m or maybe Beatrice Chebet another athlete who attracts relatively little attention even though she was the first woman to break 29 minutes for 10000m and won the Olympic 5000m and 10000m double in Paris.
I think that Beatrice Chebet will do it next year, she still is young and yet so good already. Beatrice Chebet is currently stronger than Faith Kipyegon over the 5'000m distance.
Back when Faith Kipyegon had two world silvers, two world golds, two Olympic gold, one cross country gold, and a couple of dl titles while having competed against the likes of Dibaba, Sifan, Semenya, Tsegay, Muir, etc, I already thought she was one of the greatest athletes of all time. I have no superlatives given what she's done ever since. Her post-2022 career would qualify her as one of the best ever.
This is unexpected. Brilliant analysis Nostradamus. That is why we watch. Fellow Commenter give the man his flowers. He breathes life into, track and field, the foundational sport upon which all (lives) sport depends from the first crawl to the last fall.
I agree with you and admire the quality of all your video's. Just one thing. You summed up a few times the greatest track and field athletes of 2024, but you never mentioned Nafi Thiam. She won her third golden Olympic medal in the heptathlon, what nobody did before her. In between she won gold in two world championships and three times at the European championships. She won also gold three times at the European indoor pentathlon with in 2023 a new world record. Since 2016 she won every event she competed, with the only exception of a second place in 2019. Are the athlete's of the heptathlon for woman and decathlon for man, not the most complete athlete's?
@@plantB23 Is that your style or habit, to ridicule others? Many of these athletes can win international competitions in individual numbers. Can you high jump 2.02m as Nafi or winning a Diamond meeting in long jump with 6.86m like she did in 2019 in Birmingham? They need speed, power and various technical skills. They are respected by sports enthusiasts with knowledge.
TRP don’t you think diamond league should be more like F1 where points accumulate during the season rather than just the final winner being the winner of the season? It makes no sense to me
No. People are not machines and cannot be in peak condition all year like cars. There is no world championship or olympics for f1 like there is in track
Thank you for this TRP. I have been waiting for your review of Faith ever since she won the recent olympics. And I was wondering when you will. She is actually the athlete who has inspired my watching of the sport videos in the last 3 years. She has also inspired a whole nation here in Kenya. 🎉 Congratulations to Faith Kipyegon
Faith Kipyegon is not only the W1500m GOAT for her 8 WC/OLY Medals (6 Golds & 2 Silvers) & unbeaten streak, but also cos her 2 insane WRs has contributed to raising the levels of everyone else in the event i.e. at least 13 new Women have entered the All-Time 100 Outdoor 1500m List following Faith's 1st WR in Jun '23 as the 100th fastest ever time has been lowered over 1s from 3.57.11 to 3.56.07! Full credit to her for stepping up to the 5K last yr to win WC Gold in the event & break that WR too before it was broken a few months later by Gudaf Tsegay - Peak Kipyegon vs Peak Beatrice Chebet vs Peak Tsegay in the 5K next yr going for the 1st ever sub 14m WR needs to happen! Honourable mention for the seemingly underrated Paulino who's unbeaten in the W400m since Aug '23 (15 races) & has only lost 4 of 47 races since moving up to the 400m in '21.
Tsegay is good, but she can't win a tactical race versus the other two, and they have the endurance to keep up with her if she front-runs. I think she's currently the 4th/5th best 5000m runner after the two plus Sifan and Gidey. The one thing she has over them is she can always break the wr if any of them lower it. She'll end up with some of the fastest times but mid h2h records versus the other greatsof her era.
@@willienganga Yeah would have her as the 4th best 5K runner behind Chebet, Kipyegon & Hassan even with Hassan focusing more & more on the 10K/Marathon, but can't ignore that she's still the WR Holder with 14.00.21, should really have run the 1st sub 14m WR last yr when she ran that race @DL Final.
7:09 I thought there had to be a timing error here, but Kipyegon really did break Sifan Hassan's old mile WR by over 4 and a half seconds. That's an improvement of over 1 second per lap on average!
Hassan was there in the video. I thought you were going to name her. WInning the 1500m in a world record AND THEN WINNING BASICALLY ALL DISTANCES BETWEEN THAT AND THE FRIKKIN' MARATHON!
Still gotta go with Duplantis though for one simple reason... He, all on his own, is the entire top 10 best polevaulters of all time. The top 10 highest polevaults are all his, there is no competition to him whatsoever, others do not even show up close to him in the records
IMHO, this title should goto Sifan. There has never been an athlete like her. She could have stayed in shorter distances and dominated for years but she chose to push the limits. With one exception there hasn’t been an athletes who was truly dedicated to testing themselves and show what athletics is about, testing the limits of human body. Many spend decades perfecting their craft and become a goat in their event, and rightly so. But, when you realize that tnere is NO one in Sifan’s league it hits you what she has truly done. Love faith, but Bolt and Mondo are dominating their events too.
I'm starting to become concerned that you won't post a dedicated Sifan Hassan Paris 2024 video, it was a memorable feat what she completed - and worthy of your channel, much as you have already eluded to in this video. Keep it up and look forward to the Siffan video!
Track always has had higher/broader participation hence higher competition than field. So GOAT status would always favour track athletes. Faith over Mondo for sure but that said mondo is a once in a generation talent
I was certain she would win the mile at the first official road running world championships in Riga last year, but she came in third. I don't think I was the only one surprised by that turn of events.
i know you're primarily a running channel, and you even mentioned him in the video, but do you honestly think mondo right now is not the most unbeatable? the clickbait is getting ridiculous man -- and this is coming from a fan that watches most of your videos
Duplantis has a world record in one event. Kipyegon had a world record in 3. And like he mentioned, she hasn’t loss since 2021. Mondo lost in 2023. Kipyegon is the most unbeatable for this decade at least in her special event.
@@branpower7608 If he had said “literally” and left it at that, okay. But he said “literally and figuratively”, which means on your interpretation he said “figuratively and figuratively”. Why would anyone do that?

My favorite is when she took a moment to talk ish to the Ethiopians that tangled with Faith in the 5k at the Olympics.

Athlete fits too
@kc5466 I can think of swimmers that are more dominant in a single event. Katie Ledecky in the 1500 Free & Summer Mcintosh in the 400IM.
