They gave me chills as I was watching and listening to We need this quality and energy at the Olympics later this year

The way they ran down the lights in the final two laps was wild to watch

Grant Fisher smiles to himself just comimg-up-to 3 laps to go - he knows he's got this one, he could feel the stress in everyone around him and he thinks 'yeah, i'm feeling nothing' and during the next lap he looks at everyone near him. How good must have that felt at that pace? Great Racing.

Probably around 185 to 190 bpm right after. However the majority of the race he's probably sitting at 170. Dudes' a freak of nature for sure.

Nico is the best thing to ever happen to Fisher. No more sit and kicks - winning in 27:03 or 27:33, now he has to run with Nico, who's never been a sit-n-kick guy. They'll both run faster in PARIS.

True but this race was specifically made not to be a sit and kick race. It was made to get a fast time for the world standard. Championship races are the sit and kick races because you’re going for a win not time.

Thank you flotrack for finally getting a microphone so we can hear the interviews!!! My reading lips has gotten better but i still appreciate live sound!

Dude!!! What an amazing race! Congrats Nico Young! Collegiate record and second place !!! :)))

Fisher is my favorite American distance runner, but Nico looks like the future! Almgren??? Wow, I am shocked by him. I can't think of a more impressive runner across the board. So he has a legit 11.65 100m and 22.88 200m on the record books, and his real world class stuff starts at 800m. So at 800m he is at 1:45.59, at 1500 3:32 flat, has this 26:52 10000 and he's run a 59:23 half marathon. Just hard to wrap head around. Has anyone in history had this sort of talent across all these distances?

Agreed with comments below on the call. It's time to send this NBC and Goucher and let them know that distance races can be prime time viewing if only called with skill, energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Any non track fan could get behind this, especially at the Olympics. a lot like the Swimming call that most of us what once ever 2-4 years.

Goosebumps! Amazing

Only one word- INCREDIBLE.

Excellent transmision 👏👏

Great coverage , FloTrack !

That was GREAT. Thank you for posting the whole race, FT.

What an awesome race! Kudos to all runners, and the venue, and the public!

ELITE commentators

Amazing races.

Fantastic commentating

These announcers made the race even better

Thanks guys. (and FloTrack). Great filming. Enthusiastic commentary. In these great races it is a MUST that you give lap times! (On screen) Then we can monitor the steady pace, work out other distance times such as 3000m and 5000m. When you gave lap times there would be a gap of 4 or 5 laps before another time was mentioned. So it was difficult to carefully monitor progress as they increased pace or fell off the "lights" pacing. Just FYI. But many, many thanks for a great video. Cheers.

What these guys can do is truly amazing. This is superhuman fitness.

Great commentating!

I am getting a uneasy feeling about track (as a former miler and 5k specialist). The base of athletes competing (bottom of the pyramid) is smaller than when I was competing in the seventies. Yet we are seeing extraodinary times being posted. Frank Shorters winning time at the 1972 Munich Olympics marathon would not even meet the current Olympic A standard. There is a world wide leap in performance. Most of these athletes have an association with human performance labs now. I may be wrong, but I get a sense that mile through marathon times are too good to be true. I think that micro dosing substances like EPO may have become widespread. Middle and long distance running may be more cleaver than cycling, cycling may have gone through all the development issues with PED's. Similar to cycling I see VO2 max results that show no real historical improvement in athletes, but times have dropped, especially at 5 and 10k. The correlation does not make sense for a runner in 1978 to have a VO2 max of 87 and run 13:18, and a runner in 2023 to have a VO2 max of 85 and run 12:47. Something is up.

Nico Young should go pro immediately.

Maybe unpopular take, I don’t think actual pacers are required if they have pace lights. Challenge the athletes competing to run that pace if they want it now that they have the lights to pace them.
