COLE MF HOCKER!!!!!!!

Once the dopamine hit from this win fades, Cole will still fill empty inside.

What humans fail to realize is that life is really about a series of moments, whether good or bad. That is the epitome of your existence.

What do you do when that surge of dopamine wears off and you're back to earth no longer living in the aftermath of the immediate dopamine release following your victory?

150 years from now Cole will be an afterthought. There were better runners who none of us ever heard of who lived over 100, 150 years ago. Same situation here.

Everyone is just living for the dopamine release. Humans are so simple.

Why would we forget about him? He was awesome!

You win.

Im going to offer up Kovac clutch final throw in the rain to regain silver when nobody else was getting a mark the last couple rounds. Watch his reaction, it definitely meant a lot to not give up.

Cole would have broken the world record except he slowed down when Jakob blocked him out.

Why? It's a huge upset and a wonderful win. Obviously JI/Kerr were the favorites. He has now cemented himself as a top tier dude. So great.

I wanna party with you cowboy.

You and me together? No way!

Lighten up Francis.

You get your dopamine from sharing shtty news articles

What's the purpose of this commentary? It's a deliberately negative look at what drives humanity and produces greatness. Whether it's an athlete who enjoys the success he has dreamed of after years of work, or a scientist who has pondered a question for a long time and finally finds an answer.
As a German, I am happy for the Americans because it's these hard-fought, unexpected moments that characterize sport. Well done, Mr. Cole Hocker.

This will be a race much debated in the future:

- Even Jacob himself said he went off too fast... but wait... everyone was still with him, and he's supposed to be the strength guy??? How did he not just run the legs off everyone like usual? I think he just had an off day.

- Forget the fast finish... how does someone at Hockers level suddenly drop a 3 SECOND PR?

- The only one of the leaders that ran 'as expected' was Kerr.

This 1500 underlines (yet again)how much better it is to watch actual racing than time-trialing. Medals>>>>records.

No, everyone was not “with” him, they were single file, so those behind him had an increasingly more reasonable split. Hocker was probably the best at 55mid.

Cole just ran Hicham El Guerrouj's (MAR) 3:27.65... what did this message board say about Hicham over and over again...? "Doped to gills"? But not Cole, right?

The same way he dropped 10s in 1 year for the last Olympics.

Houlihan got caught ,this is even more obvious.

Thats not how dopamine works

What a day for the USA 1500 team 1 3 5. All under 3:30. All of them ran beyond what was expected of them. Nuguse with a great finish. Kessler gave his all to the end. Hocker's eyes must have lit up when lane 1 just opened up before him. Jakob ran his best on the day but would've had to be under world record pace to have won. Really great race.

Bottom line- Jakob was out of gas and relegated to trying to first block Cole on his left and then Kerr on the right….

I really hope Laros will brutally smash Kerr, Inge and Hocker as soon as possibile.

That's ifs and buts. If Ingebrigtsen had stuck to the inside he would have had nowhere to go.

Super shoes dude. El g’s times don’t even compare to these. He was so fast.
