Classic Olympic highlights from the Mexico 1968 Olympic Games as Kenya's Kipchoge Keino finishes off a topsy turvy Games with a gold medal in the men's 1,500m event, winning by a great margin.
Kip Keino, an uncoached Nandi tribesman from Kenya, was already 28 years old when he made his second Olympic appearance at the 1968 Mexico City Games. Suffering from violent stomach pains caused by a gall bladder infection, Keino entered the 10,000m. He was running with the leaders when, with two laps to go, he doubled up with pain and fell onto the infield. He jumped back up and finished the race, but he was disqualified for leaving the track.
Four days later, he earned a silver medal in the 5,000m, trailing Mohamed Gammoudi of Tunisia by barely a metre. In the 1,500m, Keino tried to neutralize the finishing kick of the favourite, Jim Ryun, by building up a huge lead. His tactic worked and he won by 20m, the largest margin of victory in the history of the event.

🗞️ News from the Olympic world: oly.ch/News
I named a character in one of my children's books for Kip Keino. I decided to name the girl "Elsa" after the lion in "Born Free" because little girls can be as fierce as little lionesses. When I was picking the boy's name, my thoughts were already towards Kenya and I remembered a commercial showing Kip Keino training by himself, running up a long hill. Writing is a kind of lonely marathon, too, so I named the boy "Kip." Of course, most people would not put all those things together but the layers of meaning are fun for the author. Watching the Olympics was really important to my family when I was a kid, and it was my first exposure to the international world. Very important!
i am a kenyan and i would like to read the book, Kip is a national Hero to this day
This was the genesis, the beginning of Kenya's winning and exploits in the World of Athletics at the Olympic Games and World Athletics Championships. We give God all Honor, Glory and Thanksgiving Forever. Team Kenya. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪👍👍
Amen
ALTITUDE CHEAT SUCCESS
@@donrichardson5626 Hey Don, anyone can train at high altitude if they wish to succeed in athletics. I know the U.S. athletics program train at the High Altitude training in Colorado.
@@stardust7469 NOBODY KNEW ABOUT ALTITUDE IN 1968 LIKE THEY DO NOW...CHEAT
@@donrichardson5626 Kenyan athletes win because of God's favour. Many people in many countries live on high altitude but they are not good athletes. My point is, this is God's talent to these people....you check out on the Kalenjin tribe that these athletes come from...I say it's God's blessing then high altitude environment. Gracias.
People remember the 1968 1500m with Kip Keino beating Jim Ryun, but Keino also ran:
Oct 13: 10,000 finals (DNF)
15: 5000m heats
17: 5000m finals (Silver)
18: 1500m heats
19: 1500m semi
20: 1500m final (Gold)
And the 3:34 he ran in winning that 1,500 was astonishing at altitude. It was just a second slower than Ryun's WR and remained the OR until Coe broke it at the LA Games in 1984.
he did triple?
@@robinbauer1975 yes
@@randyevermore9323 at that level, the margins are important. Keino was actually 1.8 seconds outside of Ryun's world record of 3:33:.1....and it would indeed be an astonishing run at altitude were it not for the fact that Keino was Kenyan and was born, lived and trained at altitude which gave him a major natural advantage over Ryun and the others in Mexico. BTW for the record, it was Filbert Bayi who broke Ryun's record and not Coe who did though go on to beat Bayi's record.
@@david2804me "TW for the record, it was Filbert Bayi who broke Ryun's record and not Coe who did though go on to beat Bayi's record."
As I said, the record Keino set in Mexico City was the OR, not the WR.
Kipchoge Keino set the base for Kenyan athletes. Athletics has put Kenya on the world map. I'm so proud to be a Kenyan, more so from the Kalenjin community where world great runners come from. Go Kenya Go!
Maritim Evans Kipngetich sawa,sawa bwana kipngetich!
We have and we've had before elite runners who are not kalenjins. Just that majority of them are.
@@felistergatwiri7134 Absolutely! John Ngugi comes to mind.....Great marathon runner!!!
@@dholuo35 Ndereba, Samuel Wanjiru, Rudisha, the Manangoi brothers, Obiri, Moraa (400m), two Wambuis (800m), Bonface Mucheru (400m hurdles Rio silver medalist)
Kalenjins are not the best athletes Kenya ever produced. But the politics of Athletics Kenya have been in their favour for some time now.
This guy plus Naftali Temu set the bar high for other athletes in Kenya...so so proud of them. U guys represent our country in a good way!
An intelligent tactic race by Keino. In all fairness if the race was run at sea level Ryun would've shattered the Olympic and world record for the gold. Keino as well would've finished under the record. Ryun had already proven that notion earlier in Los Angeles when he broke Herb Elliott's world 1500 meter record. But Jim had to hold back in 1968 due to the altitude and settle for the silver medal. He hoped Kip would come back to him. He did not. In 1968 George Young of the U.S. was leading the final yards of the Olympic steeplechase and looked like a winner, but the "altitude monster" suddenly stuck out its invisible foot and tripped him, and George had to settle for the bronze. Where is the fairness to it all?
@@robertguthrie1943 It's fair as long as nobody cheated. If Kenyan athletes can withstand the altitude then that's part of the challenge and they won
@@douglasczar3647 who dominated the sprints and the Jumps 😈 it's more than unfair
this was the break through moment for future runners in kenya...INCREDIBLE!!!!
dennis cheruiyot True
His performance remain an inspiration to all athletes n upcoming athletes in our country, Kenya,and the whole world
One of my idols growing up that led me to run nearly 55,000 miles in my life time sadly my joints won't let me go any further but it was a blast, thanks Kip!
You are welcome Row80. Kip went on to start a children's home for the orphans and later elementary and high school in Eldoret, Kenya. This was even the nicest part of Kip Keino in my opinion, especially helping many poor and also many orphan kids get housing and education through the Kipkeino Children's home and School.
Your words made me smile. The memories live on. Let your mind run free and you will continue to inspire others just like Kip.
So proud of my country Kenya. I got goosebumps all over
an incredible run , that race was run at altitude and Ryun waited too long to make a move. I didn't understand Jim's strategy . But more than any other country(or continent) the U.S. is closing the gap on the Africans. For a country that indulges in so many other sports, the talent pool is spread out and diluted. One has to wonder if the best runners in the U.S. are not in the sport of running at all but on the soccer field, the baseball diamond, the tennis court , or the lacrosse field... hmmmm
He's still known as a good athlete because when he was in school he used to run bare feet in the morning from his house to school (6.5 km) in every morning till he finished the school . Well, proud of you kenyan hero
i think I have seen kip Keino when he used train between Nyeri and Kiganjo. there were us kids who would run along or behind him for a while. I remember him patting the back of my head as he passed me, at least I think it was him. i have run all my life, I am 65 years old now, but i was born in Nyeri, and all these years I have so admired Kipchoge. Glory to all of Kenyan athletics, and may God and history continue to count us as the greatest and best athletes and wonderful people.
i develop goosebumbs when watching this. These Kenyans are amazing.
Otieno Don't you mean Us Kenyans
@@Gikash No one else needs to know he's Kenyan 😂 😂
@@felistergatwiri7134 ..Yawa Gatwiri unatetea Otieno.
👍 Old is Gold 🥇.. Good Memories.. As Eliud kipchoge Break down the History 2019 in Vienna 12 October
Ryun's 1500m silver in 1968 so much more impressive than Matthew Centrowitz' 1500m gold in 2016.
I would say they're both worthy. It's really like apples and oranges to make such a comparison. But Ryun's silver was definitely underrated by the sporting media of the world (always labeling him an Olympic "failure")...which is what comes with being the record breaker that he was...bringing all sorts of unrealistic expectations on a young athlete.
@@sundromos9456 Not sure the expectations on Ryun going into 1968 were unrealistic. He'd beaten Keino by a huge margin when they'd last met in LA in 1967 when he set the WR. His defeat here was a little like Great Britain's Kerr in the 2024 1,500. His silver has been viewed a little as a failure to get gold due to his being such a strong favourite to win. The 1500 has a history of beaten favourites in the Olympics though.
If Kip hadn't tired himself out running the 10K at these Olympics, he might have won the 5000/1500 double. Man's still a legend.
Thats awesome now he can live the rest of his life satisfied and as a champion. :)
They are all extremely powerful runners!
Sure, there is one winner but it is a matter of seconds. All runners should be celebrated!
Keino exceptionally feat comes after being diagnosed with gallstones and order by doctors to not participate. Even having to run from a cab to reach the stadium. Jim Ryun indeed a legend and inspiration.
he was an uncoached tribesman!..it was natural talent in his case...my friend
I really dont understand why the rest have to be coached, kwanza by jungu coaches whove never even lived there. Make it make sense Lordt.
Uncoached tribesman?, No one just runs, he trained for the day, he is Kenyan not a tribesman
was a many things and they were all great things.. A true legend, but "uncoached" he was not.
Keino was a class act and loved by everyone including me but Ryun was clueless about high-altitude racing!
it was my understanding that Ryun did train at altitude in preparing for the games, but I'm not sure if he actually RACED previously at that height. Also : Jim suffered from vertigo, which would cause him to collapse on occasions and certainly would've been a factor at altitude in Mexico City.
Kip, a true inspiration to Kenyans past and present.
I’m only like 20 percent Kenyan and look Hispanic but I still love Kenya 🇰🇪
don't worry you are still kenyan!!!!!
Once a Kenyan always a Kenyan
Very interesting to learn that from youth, the Kalenjin tribe Kip is from raises their teens on a rite of passage that teaches them to endure pain.
Everyone thought this was gonna be ryun's race. Amazing planning from the Kenyan team.
"He was running with the leaders when, with two laps to go, he doubled up with pain and fell onto the infield. He jumped back up and finished the race, but he was disqualified for leaving the track."
I want to see that!
imagine other athletes are lying down exhausted and Keino is just walking like he hadnt been running
That's because he trains in much higher altitude and then when he steps foot in Mexico City in a lower altitude the breathing becomes much easier.
I saw Keino and Jim Ryun race in Los Angeles in 1964; the first lap was doggedly slow...about 60.7..., then Kip took over and sped it up. In the end, Ryun won in 3:33.1 and Keino was 3:34.6, both breaking the WR.
You probably meant 3:53
El record era 3:35'6 de Herbt Helliot en Roma 1960.
Este record fue en 1967 el 8 de julio.
3 :37.6
so inspiring!
my grandmother fought my mom to name me Keino 45 years ago and she won lol I am genuinely proud to carry that name I am from Guyana
he won the award
The other athletes are writhing in exhaustion after the race while kip is running a lap of honor after winning the gold. He still has strength left to celebrate!
This is where Kenyan dominance began.
I agree: Mexico 68 is where it all started for widespread belief. But Bikila winning the marathon barefoot in Rome in 60 is the moment I cherish the most.
amazing athlete
Les J. Suli inspiration to today's athletes
Is this the race he was almost late to? Where he ran 2 miles just to get there
The 2 miles must have been a good warmup. . . . . I wonder the elevation he did his running at in Kenya.
1. THANK YOU Kipchoge Keino for kicking the door wide open and letting us Kenyans we got it in us. You led the way and theyve never looked back. The 159 is a toast to greatness, a toast to you.
2. This man came back and started a childrens home that has helped lots of kids, more power to him.
3. The oxygen tanks got me 😂😂😂 White privilege was realest
What a legendary guy.
Kipchoge was a household name in Kenya after that win . I was but a young boy in Nakuru and that win was that start of my interest in athletics !
Great video! No words were needed
Great memories!
These guys are our heroes for sure, like freedom fighters in a way!
True Champ!
Pure class.
he's my grandfather
better live up to his name then buddy

History Made and History Remembered
Impressive !
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES
Watching 2018
So inspirational
Rumor has it that Ryun was giving bad advice before the race from Marty Liquori,who advocated for a slower pace because of the attitude and a sprint at the finish. Keino took off and the lead was too much to recover from.
LOVE THIS.
Jim Ryun lost the 1968 1500m gold medal in 1964 when Mexico City (at 7,300 ft above sea level) was awarded the 1968 Olympic Games. Keino was born and trained at altitude in Kenya. Ryun was the mile world record holder and had destroyed Keino by large margins in London and LA 1500m races in 1967. Keino was a fine athlete and did take the 1500m silver medal in Munich in 1972. He was just no match for Ryun at sea level in 1968. C’est la vie.
Que lindos estos videos!
God given skill :)
Amen, this is true. We give God thanks.
KENYA TO THE WORLD
Beautiful music. perfect
These athletes making Kenya great should be made. The ambassadors of BBI
gusii produced first atheletes who participated in olympics and won medals and Gold then the other athletes followed there footsteps we have Nyandika maiyoro 5,000m,Naftali Temu 10,000m,Arera Anentia and more
MY IDOL
سباق رائع مبروك للفائز
Love it!!!
my idol
KENYA....wooohooo
HERO
Legend!
From the Nandi Hills.
Tactically Jim Ryun made a complete Horlicks of the race, Keino was all out at the finish, whereas (you can't see it in this clip) Ryun was full of running, I am not saying he would have won but Ryun could have been a hell of a lot closer if he had run his race.
yeah, Jim made a tactical blunder. He was almost dead last at the 400 !! Jim's kick was far better and didn't have be on Kip's shoulder at any point of the race! All he had to do was get within 5-6 meters of Kip at the bell lap. Game over...
Nice :)
I love how thats me.
awesome!
nice!!
На высоте более 2000м над уровнем моря Кейно единственный, кому удалось пробежать быстрее 3.35 и по сей день, неофициальный рекорд на высоте свыше 1000м у его соотечественника Квемоя 33089 в 2017 году. Для спортсменов родившихся на равнине разница между результатами на равнине и высокогорье , по подсчётам специалистов, составляет 3 процента. Если пересчитать результат занявшего второе место Райана , убрав эффект высокогорья, то получится в районе 331( 337.89 в Мехико) Представляете каким был Райан стимулом для Кейно, если на равнине кениец никогда не бегал быстрее 336
1:43 The guy on the right's thinking, "Oh, so you don't need a stretcher? I mean, that was a pretty long race, so it might be a good idea. I'll even break your legs for you!"
Es abuelo de un corredor que tiene varios años compitiendo en México, Julius Keter
That’s my great uncle!
WOW !
Если не ошибаюсь ,второй Джим Райан. Жаль пацана. Угондошил карьеру,ради сиюминутных рекордов.
Качественная съемка! Конечно не ошибаетесь. Джим Райан! Он был молодой, талантливый и бестолковый. А угондошил его карьеру личный тренер Райана (не соврать ,на память) Боби Тимонс.
Kipchoge, keep jogging
Please remember that this was back in 1968 at an altitude of 2000 M above sea level and the time was 3.34.9. What runner would do that today?
this is where it all began
ryun non vincerai mai un olimpiade ma sei sempre un grande
Super keino
I didn't understand Jim's strategy of sitting back, but for Keino to run a PR 1,500 at altitude was amazing in it's own right. But today the U.S. runners are closing the gap on the Africans, more than any nation on Earth. And considering the variety of sports our kids have here, the talent pool is dispersed and diluted ..
my shujaa
Where is the great 10000m gold medalist Samson kimombwa, i last saw him in 1989 in Eldoret where he told me he is teaching in Elgeyo Marakwet
キプチョゲ ケイノ よーく知ってます!
Waaah my people kwani mbio zilianza kitambo aje
Nakuambia!!!😂😂 This is where our country began the dominance!!!!
The one race Jim Ryan needed to not allow the front runner to get away early. He always beat Keino before this big one. High altitude one factor, but not the key factor.
Just the original broadcast would be nice instead of this "inspirational" music! It feels so manipulative. I would prefer the historical aspect of the race, not the "feel good" packaging of the Olympic corporation.
Apparently athletes called Kipchoge are great.
Time?
Damn, that black man can run!!!!
That's exactly what I was thinking!
clap*clap*clap!!!!
Is this another kip choge or he is the one we know now
is he in relation to eliud kipchoge?
No. Kipchoge is common name in rift valley where they come from.
It was unfortunate for Jim Ryan that this race was run @ altitude. Keino had a big advantage.
Well I agree that all these other "sports" like badminton and golf etc. etc. are ridiculous but no one asked my opinion. Also despite being a former military man I don't agree on all the wars we fight such as Vietnam where I was. I also believe that we all would have been better off had my European ancestors adopted the Native Americans way of life (hunter-gatherer) when we first came to the Americas instead of imposing ours on them . Speaking of melanin it has been my observation that some of the best athletes such as Ashton Eaton (two time Olympic decathlon gold medalist) are a blend of black and white. Look at Barack Obama (smart) white mother, black father. Mixing of the races is best in my opinion. As for the Kenyan runners, they are great because they were born at altitude forcing their bodies to grow stronger as an adaptive response and also their culture which is harsh and primitive and they have a mind set that does not limit them to barriers. Finally... "Can't we all just get along?"
Oh and one more thing speaking of the steeplechase
did you notice that Evan Jager an American caucasian was second @ this years' Olympics. Just saying...;-)
I don't eat like the average American. I consume pasture raised meats, eggs, etc. My diet is high fat, moderate protein and very low carb. I eat no cakes or cookies, sodas etc. I am a former paratrooper and still try to emulate that way of life with fairly rigorous training. @ 67 I can still do 10 good pull ups and also do "Turkish get-ups". Peace and be well and remember that there is only one race, that being the human race as we all originated out of equatorial Africa.
Who ever said anything about being superior? (I'm assuming you're speaking to me?) Certainly not me as I believe Homo Sapiens (that's all humans dear) are the scourge of our planet. The "white man" has probably done more than his fair share of planetary destruction but no race is above reproach. Perhaps the dog is the greatest creation. That would be "God" spelled in reverse. Cheers!
@@carldavis9999 Hey. You explained so much. I think there is no need.
I like youtube
what does 3:34 convert to considering altitude?
Estimates say between 4-5 seconds
Since then, only African runners win the best races.
los kenianos desde tiemp atras han mostrado de lo que son capaces en juegos olimpicos ya es parte de su cultura he aqui en este video la muestra, y lo siguen teniendo haqsta este 2013.
I don't quite see how it would be interesting. Just a guy falling onto the field due to severe pain. Not much of a show and he probably didn't make a comeback or anything, so it would not be something worth watching
