You could see that Hocker was going to be this years Olympic 1500M Champ at the USA Trials and through the rounds in Paris. He had another gear that he didn’t show until the final in Paris. He was holding back until the final. Tactical Patience and Hoosier Grit.
Need to see that Hocker vs Kerley 600
Here first! Like my comment, if you can barely wait to watch the Grand Slam.
Cole Hocker is not breaking the 1500m WR.
@@NelleBligh333 He wasn’t suppose to be The Olympic Champion either according to you doubters. Never under estimate Hoosier Grit and Determination.
@@Dirk-my2zf Winning Gold even at the OG is a completely different ball game to breaking El Guerrouj's record. Ingebritsen wants to break them all and even he says this one will be the hardest. There's a few guys who are low 3:27 or 3:28 who are as competitive as Hocker at this distance, of them only Ingebritsen has gone sub 3:27. btw Hocker barely races outside the US, he ran in Glasgow and that was nothing special so don't be surprised international fans don't know his racing well. I caught him at the US trials but only because I was lucky enough to be in the US at the time.
@@NelleBligh333 Hocker has THE OLYMPIC RECORD, no one, not EL G, NOT JI, Not Coe, not anyone has ever run faster in an Olympic 1500M Final than Hocker. NO ONE. Doubt all you like. If it is on his mind, then it is possible.
Cole: I want the world record.
Also Cole: yeah, I don’t like time trialing.
Dude, what? lol
Just cause he doesn't like time trialing doesn't mean he won't do it for the record
