00:00In an electrifying finish, 23-year-old American Cole Hawker has stunned the world, claiming
00:07his first Olympic gold medal in the men's 1,500 meters.
00:12Entering the bell lap, Hawker was in fourth place, trailing behind a formidable field
00:17that included Tokyo Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen, reigning world champion Josh
00:23Kerr, and fellow American Jared Nugas.
00:26But with incredible determination and speed, Hawker took the inside lane and surged past
00:32his competitors, clinching the Olympic title with a record-breaking time of 3.27.65.
00:39Kerr took silver, his second Olympic medal, while Nugas, in his Olympic debut, claimed
00:44bronze.
00:45Nugus' time of 3.27.80 was just one hundredth of a second behind Kerr.
00:52This marks the first time in 112 years that two Americans have landed on the Olympic podium

01:00The race was expected to be a showdown between the Brit Josh Kerr and the Norwegian Jakob
01:05Ingebrigtsen, whose rivalry had been a major talking point.
01:10Ingebrigtsen led for 90 percent of the race, but faded in the home stretch, finishing fourth
01:15and missing the podium.
01:17But the real story here is Cole Hawker.

01:2636-second mile in eighth grade.
01:28He won an Indiana state title in high school, an NCAA championship as an Oregon Duck, and
01:35qualified for his first Olympics in 2021.
01:38Now, he stands as an Olympic champion, continuing America's dominance in the men's 1,500 meters
01:46following Matthew Sentrowitz's historic win in 2016.
