Cole Hocker also broke Galen Rupp American record.

At first I thought Kerr blew a chance to go under 8:00 by celebrating down the home stretch. But analyzing frame by frame the last 20 strides down the home stretch, his times for every 4 strides were 1.2 sec, 1.3, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3. So his celebration really doesn't seem to slow things enough to cost him the 0.67 sec needed for sub 8. His time for the 20 strides before that was only 0.2 sec faster, so he really kept almost the same pace the whole last lap. Great effort!

@@tomneave15 Haha, not really! It only took a couple of minutes to analyze, while I was looking for a distraction from what I was supposed to be doing.

The result of that race was never in doubt. I can't wait for the next race between Josh Kerr and Jake Wightman, now that the latter is coming back from injury.

Absolutely fantastic race! Wow!

One of the greatest middle distance athlete .

He can thank Grant for pacing him so well lucky guy

What a nasty bitter comment that is.

The Best Kerr Fantastik Run.... ❤

Think about it, that is two 4 minute miles!

Wow - world Record!

Go on Josh❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Wow...a 5 minute race and the poor US TV still has to go to a commercial!

Congrats to Kerr. Too bad he celebrated early. Next race is never guaranteed. He could've been the first to dip below 8:00 minutes for 2 miles. Better to have waited one second.

His celebration did not cost him .67, that’s quite a lot to make up in the last 30m

It would have been nice to see Hocker and Beamish battle to the line instead of Kerr's celebration.

Jakob ran 7.54 outdoors...would have destroyed both of these Roll on Paris for the defending olympic champ🎉

Do you think Fisher can get near Jakob in any race ...answer is no ..so the olympic champ will retain his title . Nobody can beat him in the ONLY race that matters.All other races like the one you watched are just fun runs...

Sub-8 or not. He's not. maybe next time.

7:35 so did this field have a sex change operation? (note the change in the time in lower right)

Hate these vids that don't show all the finishers cross the line. Disgusting coverage.
