Gambling can incite athletes to cheat, that is why it is banned throughout most sports. Even if gambling takes place in the middle of a race while the athletes are performing, the athletes could finish in certain places purposefully in order to win someone else some money, and then of course the athletes can be tipped off by the gamblers for helping them win their bets. Gambling could ruin the sport.

Nick Symmonds I'm glad that you have created a second channel, I was waiting for this for a while!

This is awesome Nick! Been missing the Race Recap videos you made and this was the perfect thing to fill the void

Thank you, Nick, for putting out these videos and taking the mass amounts of time out of your day and effort to make these high-quality, thoughtful and informative videos. I wish I would have had some of these insightful commentaries when I was in high school and college running over 10 years ago, and I'm sure it is a privilege for runners to have today while they are running in high school and college (and maybe even younger as well). It really isa wealth of knowledge that you put out there in these videos and every one is a treat. Thank you, again!

That little smirk just before the final lap is so great

At 16:15 I agree with you. Covid ruined this for him just like he did for my friends that finished high school this year. He could have done this in front of the world screen. Olympic is hands up the most watched show around the world.

Loved this video Nick, thanks for doing this, fascinating insight!

WE LOVE THIS TYPE OF VIDEO NICK,THUMBS UP

Thanks Nick! This was awesome!

I think Cheptegei looks like El Guerrouj (running form wise). A lot of power to the ground through glutes and thighs. That's why it looks like he's "jogging" at 60 second laps. It is incredible.

excellent video. your insights as an elite athlete yourself are indeed fascinating. keep em' coming

Looks like Nike ZoomX Dragonfly - Also even though there were very little fans and the energy of Monaco wasn't there, it makes this record just that much more incredible/difficult to take on. Chep did this with no fans, alone after 6 laps, during the worst pandemic in a century and his travel time to Monaco from Uganda took 80hours which is exhausting for anyone... --> the only thing i would've wanted a little more of was to see this race run with more world-leading 5k runners. I feel that this record could've been even more incredible if there was more competition. However, I think the other world-leading 5k runners knew they weren't ready to stick with Chep because he announced a 5k record attempt prior to racing and I'm sure the competition was like we arnt ready.. I think the closts anyones gotten was Barega's 12:43 and Kejelcha's 12:47 in 2018.. Thanks for your thoughts Nick

The men and women's 10000m and 5000m stood for so long I guess haha. No one could reach them so they had to do this robbery The Ugandans splits were metronomic. Very much on point.
