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 😮💨

Dear Sir, I watch several athletics videos online and yours are unmatched! You are so thorough, and precise; you present the material in an absolutely wonderful way. You put so much into your videos. Not sure whether you are an ex-athlete but it's clear that you are truly passionate about the sport. I love the way that you always raise the profile of the athletes and the sport- your commentary is always encouraging and interesting. You truly are in a league of your own. Thank you for such sterling work!

I thought this was going to be about Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. She hasn't lost a 400m hurdle race since 2019 and has broken her own world record 6 times during the streak.
I was about to comment when I saw yours. I have always stated I thought Edwin Moses was the most dominant athlete ever when asked. Most people say Lebron, Tyson, Brady, Serena etc., but people forget great athletes in other sports.

Including the Olympic Gold Medal in 1960 in world record time.
@@sammy_dog Perhaps the reason Dave Foster is not mentioned in any top 10 is down to the fact that that wood-chopping is not generally regarded as a high profile sport.
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.
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.
I hate to disappoint you but Herb Elliot (Australia), In 42 races from 1957 to 1961, he was never beaten over 1500 metres or a mile. Including the Olympic Gold Medal in 1960 in world record time.
@@njambizzy Please learn some history. He was racing the whole world. Also like all athletes at this time, he was an amateur (ie he wasn't paid to run and no sponsors) so had to also work for a living.
@@robertstewart6290 I hate to disappoint you but no, he wasn't racing the whole world. African countries which became the kings of the middle and long distance were hardly ever involved in his competitions. They were either still colonized or did not have running programs or did not have awareness of world athletics. So it would be hard to call someone dominant when it is difficult to prove that he raced against the best. Faith Kipyegon has repeatedly beat the world's best Dibaba, Hassan, Semenya, Muir, Tsegay, Simpson....AND had a baby while at it.
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!
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.
Gonna show my age, but Ed Moses, what a glorious hurdler. The confidence that comes with winning must create such a sense of inevitability. Those truly superlative athletes that make what they do look effortless. However, that doesn't do justice to the miles they put into the tank to get there. Any middle-distance runner that remembers pre-season hill running sessions to get back in shape will attest to that!
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.
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!
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.
That's pretty good, I however have NEVER lost in that event. ...I'll let you know when I start to actually compete in that event 😅. In all seriousness, awesome job and congrats
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
well, if Kipyegon wants to try it she can run some half marathons or marathons. Sifan Hassan did it very successfully. Maybe Kipyegon could also do it. For the marathon, the peak of a runners career is often in their early to mid 30s.
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.
Awesome story about a an awesome athlete. I never liked running, and it didn't like me either. My brother was a good runner. He ran track and cross country in high school. Sports didn't matter to me much. They didn't have much in the way of girls sports back then anyway, and I was into writing and theater. But then a young girl came. She was a Freshman when I started my Senior year. This girl was gifted, and she wanted to go to college. But to earn a scholarship, she needed to run in high school, and for that, she needed a team. A girls team. My brothers old coach came to me and told me to bring 3 friends and meet him by the bleachers that day after school, and that my mom already knew. I was confused so I called my mom and it was true. So my theater friend and I went and met him after school. None of us athletes. L Was the make up artist for the drama club. My friend M joined us but our friend D said no way (she always was the smart one.) D went home right after school, so my friend L asked her little sister H to come and she did. That's when we met S. She told us about her dreams of being a runner. There was a big race she wanted to qualify for, Jr. World championships. I thought she said it was in China but I can't remember now. I'm remembering less and less these days, but this one thing is still in my mind. So the four of us jogged around the track every day after school, and S would run. On Thursdays, we had a meet either at our school or a different school for the competition. All of the others were runners, except four of us. And S, she stayed and cheered us on, no matter how late, while we jogged the path. We came in dead last. Every time. And she cheered. Every time. Because last placed team did not matter. HER place mattered. And she won. Not every time, but enough. She is the only one from our state to go to world championships out of all the competitors during that season. Could she have done it without us? Probably. But as my memory starts to fail me as I age, I'm glad this memory hasn't left me. It brings me great joy. Perhaps her purpose was not to go there, or to run at all. Maybe it was just something as simple as joy.
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.
Too be considered for this title you have to be undefeated over multiple years, win all global titles in the interim and set multiple world records. There are only a few athletes that qualify: Faith Kipyegon, Sydney Mclaughlin and Mondo Duplantis. Personally I would go with Mondo as the most dominant.
I'm confused. She won 28 consecutive races and "no one in history has ever matched" it? Edwin Moses achieved an incredible 122 consecutive wins in the men's 400-meter hurdles from August 1977 to June 1987. This remarkable winning streak included 107 consecutive finals. His victories were in international races, including Olympic Games, World Championships, IAAF World Cups, and Goodwill Games. Maybe you added some qualifying statement that I missed.
This is neither here nor there, but she had just come back from maternity when she lost that race to Hassan. Not to take away anything from Sifan's win because god knows how much I like and respect the Netherlands African queen, but it just shows just how impressive Faith's Silver was.
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.
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!
Seldom runners in their 30s produce world records in 1500M. Thus I think she may have 1, max 3 good years left until injuries, physical abilities or younger and stronger athletes dethrone her (I'm not saying that she can't win the next Olympic Games in a tactical race). Even before this inevitable happens, just like for many other athletes, she may extend her carrier by participating in road races and making her mark there - just like Siffan Hassan was able to do. A few years back I was wandering if my other favorite runner, Genzebe Dibaba can make a come back, well she tried.. It is important to recognize one's own abilities and limits so then doing the unthinkable is possible and fun (i.e. doubles/ triples by Hassan).
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
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
A winning streak of 28 over 3-4 years does not compare to Edwin Moses 122 winning streak over a couple months shy of ten years is far greater. Two Olympic gold medals as well in there. Give credit where it's due.

Sports didn't matter to me much. They didn't have much in the way of girls sports back then anyway, and I was into writing and theater.
But then a young girl came. She was a Freshman when I started my Senior year. This girl was gifted, and she wanted to go to college. But to earn a scholarship, she needed to run in high school, and for that, she needed a team. A girls team. My brothers old coach came to me and told me to bring 3 friends and meet him by the bleachers that day after school, and that my mom already knew. I was confused so I called my mom and it was true.
So my theater friend and I went and met him after school. None of us athletes. L Was the make up artist for the drama club. My friend M joined us but our friend D said no way (she always was the smart one.) D went home right after school, so my friend L asked her little sister H to come and she did.
That's when we met S. She told us about her dreams of being a runner. There was a big race she wanted to qualify for, Jr. World championships. I thought she said it was in China but I can't remember now. I'm remembering less and less these days, but this one thing is still in my mind.
So the four of us jogged around the track every day after school, and S would run. On Thursdays, we had a meet either at our school or a different school for the competition. All of the others were runners, except four of us. And S, she stayed and cheered us on, no matter how late, while we jogged the path. We came in dead last. Every time. And she cheered. Every time. Because last placed team did not matter. HER place mattered. And she won. Not every time, but enough.
She is the only one from our state to go to world championships out of all the competitors during that season.
Could she have done it without us? Probably. But as my memory starts to fail me as I age, I'm glad this memory hasn't left me. It brings me great joy. Perhaps her purpose was not to go there, or to run at all. Maybe it was just something as simple as joy.
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.
Thanks.
Now that you drawn attention to her, the WADA is going follow her around
Too be considered for this title you have to be undefeated over multiple years, win all global titles in the interim and set multiple world records. There are only a few athletes that qualify: Faith Kipyegon, Sydney Mclaughlin and Mondo Duplantis. Personally I would go with Mondo as the most dominant.
Test the top athletes twice a day and we"ll see who keeps running fast and who doesn't.
Damn !!. HULL is Gorgeous 🎉🎉
Congratulations, Faith. ❤
Good video, sir. ❤

Not third straight diamond league title but fourth, fifth overall.
and every single one of those athletes should be tested twice a week in the spirit of transparency
Her name says it all, Faith! 👏💪🙏💞🇵🇭
Amazing!
That's nothing In my 27 years of life I have never lost a marathon.
I'm confused. She won 28 consecutive races and "no one in history has ever matched" it? Edwin Moses achieved an incredible 122 consecutive wins in the men's 400-meter hurdles from August 1977 to June 1987. This remarkable winning streak included 107 consecutive finals. His victories were in international races, including Olympic Games, World Championships, IAAF World Cups, and Goodwill Games. Maybe you added some qualifying statement that I missed.
This is neither here nor there, but she had just come back from maternity when she lost that race to Hassan. Not to take away anything from Sifan's win because god knows how much I like and respect the Netherlands African queen, but it just shows just how impressive Faith's Silver was.
Took an eternity to get to the point.
She's the *BOSS GOAT !!* no doubt about it !! ...
Amazing_ Incredible_ Fantastic_
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.
every video this dude posts is clickbait 😂
Stop complaining.these guys work hard to make content, while you're sitting on your ass at home and whining over a video title.
@@Christian-se5si don't click it then! :-)
il s'agit de la Kényane Faith Kipyegon, née en 1994, troisième médaille d'or olympique sur 1 500m, le 10 août 2024, lors des Jeux Olympiques de Paris.
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!
Seldom runners in their 30s produce world records in 1500M. Thus I think she may have 1, max 3 good years left until injuries, physical abilities or younger and stronger athletes dethrone her (I'm not saying that she can't win the next Olympic Games in a tactical race). Even before this inevitable happens, just like for many other athletes, she may extend her carrier by participating in road races and making her mark there - just like Siffan Hassan was able to do. A few years back I was wandering if my other favorite runner, Genzebe Dibaba can make a come back, well she tried.. It is important to recognize one's own abilities and limits so then doing the unthinkable is possible and fun (i.e. doubles/ triples by Hassan).
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
She also comes across as really nice in interview.
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 sure you were going to talk about Noah the greatest that never was and of course an American athlete
Testing😮?
Ed moses
You forgot Sydney!!!
Pro sports. I won't be back.
There’s still an Olympics?
Wow, if her win streak goes another seven years, she'll be as dominant as Edwin Moses was.
Duplantis broke 3 WR this season, not 2. ❤
She rocks!+
You took too long I. Trying to guess what I was thinking and not showing your point so I stopped at 2:30 and gave you a thumbs down. Annoying.
Sifan Hassan needs a video.
I was watching. Then remembered they all are doping.
A winning streak of 28 over 3-4 years does not compare to Edwin Moses 122 winning streak over a couple months shy of ten years is far greater. Two Olympic gold medals as well in there. Give credit where it's due.
At 0:20 he says “in the sport - at the moment”
Comparing two different disciples like that is wild
if not for anything else, TRP will be remembered for introducing “Now,….”
