Cameron Myers solos 3:29.85 to win the 2026 Australian 1500m title!

What a ridiculous talent Myers is. So excited to see the rest of his outdoor season.

Olli MF Hoare is back as well! So happy for the guy

Big controversy in women's race with Hull tripped in last 50m and Hollingsworth Dq'd

Unfortunate way to 'win'. I predicted Hollingsworth to win, but not like that haha.

Shouldnt matter too much considering nic "kingmaker" bideau basically ignores the results from australian nationals anyways

Great race by Ollie, always seems to be able to show up at well at Aussie qualifier meets

So happy for Olli, too!

I was wondering what happened when seeing the weird results! Uh oh

Hoare with pretty impressive I think. Hung in to 3:29 pace for a good part of the race. A very positive result for him. Myers is a one in a million talent. A 3:29 time trial in April is nothing to sneeze at. I don't know what his 5k PB is but surely he's worth close to 13 flat in this shape.

whats impressive about being paced around by a pacemaker and getting smoked on the last lap? its practically what happens to him in every diamond league just this time there were some poor runners in the field so he didnt finish last

the guys a doggggggggg until im proven otherwise. the guy has no pace and needs to move to 5km and beyond

Absolutely insane

Still a lot faster than anything Hocker has done in the past 18 months

He’s most likely in mid 12:5x shape, I don’t believe his max speed is THAT good, his best distance seems to be 1500-3000.
He’s likely in 3:28-3:27 shape with a pacer right now which is insane, so a mid 12:5x seems likely.

No it isn’t? Hocker ran 3:45.9 indoors which is slightly faster than 3:29.85 (2.8 vs 3.85 off their respective world records, add 0.5 to the mile time since that world record is weaker 0.5s weaker than the 1500 and you get a 3.3 vs 3.85 differential).

Hocker ran 3:30.3 last year, not sure I would say a "lot faster". Also ran 3:45 indoors.

The jealousy this old coot has toward youngsters who exhibit amazing talent is ridiculous, and wholly predictable. No wonder he has so much free time to constantly post on this board.

Myers is a superb talent, hopefully his improvement will continue. Exciting to see.

Absolute fire!

The mental gymnastics needed just to agree that Hocker hasn’t run faster than 3:29.85 since August 2024 😂

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a more relaxed 3:29 in my life. Totally smooth and in control the whole way with zero strain
