loved the brotherhood between the sudanese and the kenyans as they helped each other get back onto their feet at the end of the race. that's what's called true sport!
yeah sure. was really impressed by this. Pure brotherhood
This was before South Sudan existed..
True, Ismail acted nicely.
@@theturkanabus3610 nobody said “South Sudan “
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me.
Wilfred unleashed a phenominal kick. He ran last quarter somewhere around 51.3 seconds! Congratulations to Wilfred and all of the runners! Thank you!
Our Sudanese hero Ismail Ahmed snatched the silver and made us proud.
Yes, what a heroic effort!!!!
İ think that was the last medal to your country

Bungei badly needed that gold, the agony of being an indoor champion without a major championship title was taking a toll on his confidence.
CAP
I love and miss Alfred Kirwa Yego. He puts in stealth and hard work.
Sure
Did he pass away? I thought he moved up to the marathon a few years ago.
@@chicnoir29 No he probably retired from track.
Kenyans will always win, because it's a team effort. They don't care which one wins just one of them. Other teams look at it as individuality.....
@Jefaye What are u basing this off of? If u are basing it off of this video then you are just wrong. They never switched who ran in front as to share the wind blocking. The dude in front just an in front the whole time.
@@pants1359 -Jefaye is praising the Kenyans, not bashing them.
Lance Lucas I don’t know how you argue it it’s proven fact
@Joeseph Colosi What is a proven fact? That they work together or that they always win? I agree that they are the most dominant in this event but what I’m saying is that the 800 is not really an event u can help your teammates out in. If u look at the 800 meters for 2016 u will literally see rudisha causing his other teammate to lose by pushing the pace so much at the beginning. Some events can be run in teams I’m just saying the 800 isn’t generally one of them.
Norman Linden he said “basing” not “bashing”
I watched this race live back in 2008. We give God thanks. Congratulations Wilfred Bungei.
I love the rivalry. There is competition yet there is respect.
Kenya 🇰🇪 is the most successful team in 800 metre athletics கழ6ணாஔழரௐ
Sounds like a satanic ritual going on in that stadium
Edward Gutierrez u say that coz ur country couldn't make it there. Anywhere, the sound u hear is of Jesus walking in the stadium to make sure everything is ok.
The Lion The guy could be Cuban so stfu
XD hola edwardo
Edward Gutierrez 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
My man won bronze i like him soo much
Watch the Bronze medal winner loose his focus and 2 places at 200m to go. He should have stuck on the leaders shoulder and maybe he’d be olympic champion now.
Sometimes I feel so sorry to people trying to compete with kenyans
Faith Kirsten it is a good try though!
Why, coz am a kenyan
The source of champions!
Im dead😭
hehehe...
Kenya's Normal Routine was resumed. Ask Rudisha, he will tell you.
USA is here for the crown.
All cameras on Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
They're probably the best known elite distance runner producing country in the world! If not, people ain't paying attention lol
What's insane is that last place in the 2012 Olympic final would have WON this one. No disrespect to the runners here but it shows how fast that 2012 race was 👀
Agree.
Nick symmonds😉.
Races like 800m, 1500m are in general slow for finals of olympics. People just want medals and arent bothered about time. Check 1500m final in rio. Winning time is very slow
Its just a tactical race
That was a one of a lifetime race
True
Race starts at 4:05
😂 thanks
More full length HD finals from Beijing, please, Olympic :)
Can you re-upload the complete opening ceremony and the complete closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic games. please
Proud of being a Kenyan
Fine gesture by the Sudanese silver medalist Ismail to help Wilfred on feet.
What a nation Keep keeping on
Ismail Ahmed sudanese star we love you ♥♥
Amazing what a difference having professional announcers (or not) makes!
Facts!!!! I knew something was wrong 😂😂😂
This was Bungei's last race on a Kenyan T-shirt. He bowed out as a Champion .
Congrats my Kenyans Champagne 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Kenyans we are always the best in this.
God bless you
USA is coming this summer. 1-2 Braizer Hoppel book it
Kenya's almost always the best distance country. Especially in the steeple and 800. And now dominant in the marathon with Kipchoge as well!
@@theartof2ndplace237 You're forgetting about Ethiopia , Ethiopia and Kenya are evenly matched
there's something so surreal without the commentary. Like you're there in the race with these athletes without all the lactic acid
Shaun M I agree, the crowd responding to surges makes me feel like I’m in the pack
Good job Wilfred Bungei, Ismail Ahmed Ismail and Alfred Kirwa Yego. Was nice meeting Alfred Yego in Eldoret, humble guy.
I love the African union
Just not the same without the commentators injecting excitement into it.
It is 2021 and I want to get excited about this good and tactical foot race. Where are the announcers to provide context? Surely this would not happen with swimming, gymnastics, basketball, skateboarding, or even beach volleyball.
4 years later David Rudisha set the world record 1 40 91 he burned this field by 4 seconds.
Coincidentally,that was Bungei's last track duty for Kenya
Look at the strategy, they are negative splitting it
What a challenging 🏁 race that was really tough
Athletics without commentators is wanting
Closing chapter of 2019 No Human is Limited
This race took so extremely long to commence!
You should have included the world champion Qarni Said Jubeir from Algeria, who performed races at the top, concluded his career with honorable medals, and etched his name in the memory of athletics.
I know that this is commentary free, but I could hear some kind of weird drawling noise from crowd.
If machines were to go extinct, the world would hire messengers from Kenya. 'Quick delivery ahead of all, made in Kenya'
Respect to Kenyans Kenyans
These Olympic videos are great except no commentary. Serious flaw in the plan.
This was the real challenge now😂😂😂
1:31 Wilfred Bungei knows in his heart of hearts that he can't lose this race. In Distance races They should just hand the gold to Kenyans and the rest compete for second and third places
Or Ethiopans.
@@theartof2ndplace237 Ethiopians never won in this distance 800 m i believe in the Olympics
@@flamingored960 I was referring to distance races, including the 800, 1500, 5,000, 10,000 and 3k steeplechase. I believe you are correct in that no Ethiopan ever won the 800. I know the have at least a few wins in the 5,000 and 10,000 though with Bekele and Gebrselassie.
Me back here 2022 comparing the uniform 😄
Let me support Sudan and Kenya🔩🔩💪💪
Now this is what running is all about. Instead of marathon torture there is lasting torture that only pretends to be short
I like 800 m. One lap and then it s already a Sprint, much funnier than the long and boring half marathon. I just regret I took part in 800m races only few times
Quite possibly the most boring mens 800 metres final in olympic history. Compared with 2000, 2004 and 2012 in particular it just wasn't interesting at all. But congrats to Bungei, I actually forgot he even won this TBH.
😂😂😂😂 very true,a lot of struggle here..
Hamsterman691 2016 was more exciting as well.
Your wrong bcuz ur .man wasng there
Mekhloufi algerie
Could have whacked first 4 minutes off this video ..the sound is atrocious
Then Rudisha started doing his thing.
3 Olympics of Kenya winning in the 800
Don’t spoil the winner in the title please
Watch the Bronze medal winner loose his focus and 2 places at 200m to go. He should have stuck on the leaders shoulder and maybe he’s be olympic champion now.
Look at the change in body type from 400 to 800m
Yeah It’s crazy how during that period, 400m guys were very muscular and stocky and the 800 meter guys where bone thin.
2nd lap 2 seconds faster than the first. Unreal.
First lap in this race was very slow at 53.3 seconds. For comparison, in 2012 the first lap was 49.3 and in 2016 the first lap was 49.2.
He would've come last in 2012 and 2nd last in 2016
Lol
Ilike trains
2012 is the greatest 800 m ever. Everyone ran his personal best
michael maingi Personal best, national record, or the bloke in front....just a world record.
@@michaelmaingi4216 Rudisha challenged everyone to up their game. Winning times have declined since his last race in Rio. Like the commentator said in the 2012 race, "great runners behind but all had to yield to the KING" Long live Athletics. Long live Kenya.
Of course every 800m race after 2012 would be worse....because someone set a world record in 2012 meaning that is the fastest 800m ever run....unless someone set a wr in the future
But he came 1st here, and that's what counts.
Just thinking do they talk while running?! Like wakiambiana tuchukue medals zote brathe 😀😀😀in kenya ascent
Wanaambiana " ni kutoka kijiko ile mbaya"😂😂😂
I think wanaambiana ..shikisha ngia number 2 brathe
Yes, that's true.

Teke teke brathe
Kirwa from Kenya went where after Beijing
Jane K i guess, he retired maybe? I think yuko too!
He's doing good. Doing some farming and business in Eldoret area.
he has no more chance in kenya...so many young guys
@@susanmuthoni1167 he featured in Berlin'09

Am a kenyan
I want breathing rhythm for 800 meter..give me idea how much breathe to inhale and exhale in one respiration
Just wing it.
Dang that was a slow one.... the last place finisher from the last Olympics would have won that by almost a second
This comment is false.
Africa Wins
Haha. 800m is really a tough race.

The last place in London 2012 in 800m could have won the first place in Beijing 2008
Nope. They could've ran faster if anyone was really challenging them from the beginning
Thats like saying that kiprop coming in last in the 2012 1500 m Olympics. Would win the 2016 1500 m Olympics. Please don't use this logic
53 5/51'3 THAT IS INCREDIBLE,,,,JUST INCREDIBLE....AND NOT FAR SLOWER THAN STEVE OVETTS ALL TIME 2ND FASTEST LAP OF 5O,6 IN 1980 MOSCOW!!!!!!!! OVETT WENT THROUGH IN 54.8 THAT DAY ,,,,THIS 2ND LAP TRULY SHOWS HOW/ WHY OVETTS FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE IN MOSCOW HAS LASTED OVER BLOODY 41YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEARLY HALF A CENTURY,,,,,WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE ,,,,,, there ya go.... Steve ovetts PRESENCE still lingers and he NEVER GOT NEAR THE WORLD 800M RECORD (AT 1:44,09)NEITHER:ACTUALLY HE WAS ONLY 7 TENTHS OF A SECOND BEHIND THE WORLD RECORD BACK IN 1978 !!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN SEB COE RAN A BLISTERING 49.3 400M IN PRAGUE BOTH GETTING BEATEN BY DRUGS CHEAT OLAF BEYER,,,,,,,,,C@÷T👎🖕👎👎👎👎🖕🖕🖕
1:44? Didn't realize I was watching The Junior Varsity championships.
@- Dalcnori -It was a joke, there are probably less than 20 Americans who could currently go under 1:45, that is insanely tough.
@- Dalcnori - having run the 800 in high school, these guys are complete beasts.
I wish David Rudisha was here😢😢😢😋
Kenyans 😍🤩🤩🤩
إسماعيل أحمد إسماعيل
المركز الثاني 💪💪💪
So Bahrain ,Qatar and USA have been thinking by buying Kenyan athletes they will maintain the same performance! The endurance and the secret of winning remains here in Kenya! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪We lead while the rest follows
Except for 1500m. Tell your Kenyans come get the WR. Keep trying.
@@Worldpeaceforeverremains As if your country is doing better than Kenya lmao. Kenya has won the 1500m gold for the longest time now.
The thing is that Kenyans want to run for the US. Not the other way around
Wow, big negative split in this one. Unusual for an 800.
yeah they ran the first lap very slow - 53.3 seconds. For comparison, in 2012 the first lap was 49.3 and in 2016 the first lap was 49.2.
They have machine in the chest Kenyans
Where’s the commentary?
Can’t believe 1:44 won an Olympic race
I realised most Olympics are more tactical than time trials. You don't wanna go hard first and risk setting others for a quicker finish. Unless you're a human of supernatural ability and you have confidence in your ability like Rudisha. That's why others ran fast times in 2012 because he was like setting pace. These athletes could've ran better times but the battle was for gold
@@felistergatwiri7134 Yes but if there were stronger runners in the field then they wouldn't have let them set a pace that slow. A strong runner would have ran a 1:43 regardless. They wouldn't have let the slow frontrunners run a 53.3 second first lap and dictate a slow race. The only reason that a 1:44 was able to win this race was because it was a relatively weak field.
@@ak2pacalypse I'm sure their PBs would like to disagree
@@ak2pacalypse this was a championship race not a world record pace. We were spoiled with Rudisha the past two olympics. The winner had a negative split which is rare in championship races in the 800. Shows that you need to learn more about the sport
Thats how 800m strides are.Look for rudisha's they are the same
I really love black people
@@silvermaus love only black people only
Because you are so blck
@@poojakumari-uw4nu and am proud of it👍👍
We love you also
Imagine the world record race that russhida set the last person ran 1:43
Here the first person ran 1:44
Let that sink in
Nothing is sinking, that race had a pacemaker, Olympic finals are just but tactics, medals are the main concerns, countries even work as teams, nothing individual there. No one cares about the time set. Rudisha fell out in the semis of the same competition.
the world record race didn’t have a pacer, it was the olympic final
Kenyans 1 and 2 possibly
1 and 3
So Kenya got the last 3 Olympic golds,sad we don't have someone in Tokyo to hold it up
Emmanuel Korir
@@felistergatwiri7134 you are prophetic
@@douglassantet647 I believed in him when everyone else didn't 😂
Wow!
Noureddine Morsli is a legend in athletics, world champion, Olympic and African champion, record holder in 1500 and mile, as well as Nordin Morsli is a legend in morals with the testimony of world champions and great coaches and his whole life was disciplined without additions and the last thing Morsley retired as a great champion and rejected all temptations and positions in international bodies He lived in America and trained in America and completed his studies there and returned to his country and worked as a high official with the rank of state clerk or minister interested in elite sports.
Learn from Morsley's career
And the International Olympic Committee was supposed to make a video of the great world champion Aouita, as well as make a video of the path of the world and Olympic champion Noureddine Morsli, but by virtue of Hisham having a position in the Olympic Committee, they made this video and denied the great history that Morsli made when the Al-Grouj champion was still a young child learning the alphabets of sports Athletics🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

Skip to 4:03 for the race to watch.

No human is limited
Why give the winner in the thumbnail very annoying
Fantastic
No Americans that year? I thought an American was running in the 1.44s that year...

The rare negative split 800m. Winning time might not reach the final these days.
After Murphy wins it with a negative split this year, it won't be so rare. And yeah, the prelims will be quick.
@@philomenaakpanaadie2015 Alas, this didn't age well. What a dud Murphy laid in quite possibly the worst Olympic 800m final ever.
@@darrellid Now, to be fair, I expected the race to be quick. It wasn't. Not even Amos pushed the pace in the slightest. Murphy couldn't make a move anywhere, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and came last. If the first lap were 49 mid, and he came through two seconds slower, it would be his win, as the field would be all strung out. It wasn't like that. Only Bol and Korir were free, and Korir used his staggering 400 speed on the last lap to his advantage. It was a silly race, but it was a well-earned gold by Emmanuel. If Murphy had some balls he might have won.
@@philomenaakpanaadie2015 I agree. My comment wasn't intended to pick on you or your prediction. Just lamenting such a poor race, really. Those times wouldn't have even won the NCAAs. Rudisha spoiled us with his brilliance.
@@darrellid I agree as well. No one wants it anymore in 800 races when it comes to the Olympics. I get it, it's an Olympic title on the line, but if you want it, make sure everyone doesn't have an even chance of getting it also. That's why I like NCAAs. Just some college kids who want a great athletic life, so they'll leave it all on the track to win. Now slow races aren't all bad, but that one was. Only people who ran that one well were the top three finishers: Korir, Rotich and Dobek.
Bungei say what really push him to graph this gold medal he was appointed by president kibaki to be a team captain so he say he was suppose to lead the team well by coming on top🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video sounds like a satanic ritual
Symmonds would have won this race. Smh
he had no chance
Did he not make the finals, or was it injuries etc ?
