Nick Symmonds, what a great runner!! Coming from the very back for the win! I love watching this guy's old races! He had alot of fight in him and a crazy kick!
Nick Symmonds is giving it his all at the end; puffing his cheeks as he is breathing extra hard at the end. Bruce Jenner also did this at the end of his 1500meters in the Montreal Olympics.
In case you like seeing a champion rise from the rear and take first place, you will be thrilled to see this film footage of a young athlete who prequalified for the 2008 Olympics in one of the most stunning racing victories I've seen on film.
i like how nick always follows yuriy to the front. in any of the races the 2 compete together nick always seems to wait for yuriy to go by and then he stays with him
haha im a soph in hs and i run a 2:00, and when i finish im sprawled out on the ground almost throwing up. Symmonds goes out and runs a 1:45 and he is walking around with his arms in the air. Just goes to show you what kind of athletes these guys are.
The object of a rabbit is to pace the race, he doesn't enter trying to get a good time because running from the front usually will not win you a race. Not only does the rabbit set the pace for the race but he/she also breaks the wind for all of the other competitors which allows them to run a better time.

The race that started it all for Nick Symmonds
You can see Symmonds really gave it all he had there at the end.
Good for Nick - I hadn´t heard of him a couple months ago, but now I´m a fan.

Hell of a race, kinda reminds me of Jim Ryun beating Peter Snell during the 1965 AAU mile

@TYLerlittmann As a soph? That's good, above average for sure...what's your division?
ca someone describe me what a pace setter is
It’s the guy that gets paid to run at a pre set Pace and is not in the race for the win but to hit a split so that faster times are more like to occur
which one are you?
@LukeSwagwalker yeah hopefully, he pulled a hammy this year but he'll be back for blood next year for sure.
@McLovin2169 dude is you a soph runnin 2:00 then you a beast breh
@BattleRifle112 That's nuts...If he keep that shit up he'll go Division I easy.

@plzcometomywebsite a person who sets the pace and blocks wind for the person behind them. they are usually paid to this.
@LukeSwagwalker wat if u run a 2:08 lol
aka dave wottle tactic
And other kenyans during ethnic strife....
anybody else get annoyed when the pace setter starts walking after 600 meters
No. That's literally their job
