    It looked like Benjamin was going to catch him and he turned in the afterburners after that last hurdle.

    Oh wow this Norway guy is a good humble dude. I like him..

    Benjamin got tears in eyes watching his family cheer for him in the US.

    Classy post race interview by Warholm. He gave a lot of credit to Rai Benjamin and even said his time of 46:17 deserved a gold.

    Benjamin in his interview sounded distraught and said he made some mistakes that cost him the Gold. I get being upset you didn’t win but sometimes the other guy is simply better. 46:17 is a great time. Not sure if Benjamin could’ve run better.

    I think every track&field athlete at the Olympics does, I know regional teen athletes without any trophies who already have to intake questionable stuff without knowing the ingredients.

    You're understating it: 46:17 was a world record-shattering time...that was good enough for silver.

    Yep it was a phenomenal race. Feel bad for Benjamin but rather than blame himself but I'm not sure he could've run a better race.

    This had to be one of the best races in the history of the Olympics.
    The gold and silver both broke the WR and the bronze came within 0.02 seconds of breaking it.
    And that WR itself was made like a couple of months before the games.

    Maybe they have changed something like the shoes for so many athletes to do so incredibly.

    And the old record stood for 29 years.

    Usain Bolt claimed he'd be running 9.4s with the new shoes they're using. And apparently the tracks are bouncier than prior ones, which transfers energy back to the runners and makes them go more good.
