Lagat was simply flying that last 100m. It was so great to see him finally win and to see how happy he was to win for USA. If Webb was in 1:43/3:30/3:46 shape like he was a month earlier, he would have medaled for sure.
Alan pushed too hard at 300m and 150m to try to regain the lead over kiprop should have settled for the position he was in and patiently wait til 100 to unleash he would have maybe medaled or at least top 5
One of the greatest embarrassments in American running history. To have the fastest runner in the world that year over 1500m be a true American born man and the USA ends up getting given the gold by a Kenyan who changed to represent the USA. And the American fades in the home stretch to way out of medal contention. Damn
@@lukephillips3883 You literally just discounted an American gold because Lagat was born in Kenya. That would imply that you don't think he's really an American, which is rude and racist. You also didn't say 'the other American fades in the home stretch', you said "the American fades in the home stretch", which only further shows your racial bias because there were not one, but two Americans in the final.

Not necessarily. He really could have medaled, he just had bad tactics.
Finally Lagat a world champion after retirment of el gerrouj
webb didnt have a bad day he simply couldnt keep the lead....extremly hard 2 lead a race and then go on to winning it !!!!
@6:17 Webb is running dirty but can't stop Legat
I like how they mentioned Cacho and Reyes Estevez! they were great runners!
1500 is awesome :)
awsomeness. i could never run that long. wait i could but i would get a bad time
anytimeth!!
Alan Webb. Stop moving like a looney tune before the race. Use that energy for that final 100 meters.
webb has hicham el gs form, pretty much a copy
Can’t understand Webb running 143.8 800m and 3.46.9 & mile this year and not winning or medaling
y porque no guey?

Webb lost it off the turn, or lost a medal. Just lost all his momentum and positioning
Poor positioning by Ramzi on the final lap. He could have won this race.
espanol DOGG
Ramzi got blocked or he would have won this race. Bad strategy beforw getting into thw stretch away.
He was doping. What a shame he cheated

I'd say it was a win for American running, considering an American won gold
@@seanhendricks5389 it sure wasn't by Webb. What a choke, but he was consistent at it
You are very, very racist.
