The world was waiting for the battle at 1.500 meters, a race that the president of the World Athletics Federation Sebastija Kou called "the race of the century", a showdown between two guys who don't really like each other, Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen...
And then, from the shadows, between two great champions, Kol Hawker found his way to glory on the "Stad de France" track...
A guy from the United States celebrated at one of the most prestigious races and "bite" the gold - unexpected, but fully deserved.
As the planet looked at Kerr and Ingebrigtsen, Hawker overtook them in the final meters of the race and celebrated ahead of silver Kerr and bronze countryman Jared Nuguse.
Ingebrigtsen defended the gold from Tokyo in Paris, he led most of the race even today, but in the end he was left without any medals, in fourth place.
Hoker, who turned 23 in June, also broke the Olympic record with 3:27,65 minutes and the gold medal from Paris is the first of this brilliance in his career.
