Team USA track and field star Cole Hocker provided one of the biggest upsets of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Aug. 6 in Stade de France as the American runner broke the USA record in the men’s 1500m final.
Facing then-USA record-holder Yared Nuguse, who had owned the 1500m world record since June 15, 2023, Hocker moved passed Nuguse and Great Britain runner Josh Kerr and Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen—the prohibitive favorites—to stun the field with fastest time ever by an American in the 1500m, 3:27.65, and win gold.
Nuguse finished with bronze, making it the first time since 1912 that two American medaled in the event at the Olympics
Hocker becomes the first American to win gold since the 2016 Olympics when Matthew Centrowitz won in Rio de Janeiro.
Hocker’s time is the world’s seventh-fastest ever. Hicham El Guerrouj still owns the world record with a time of 3:26.00 that he set in 1998.
Here’s a list of 1500m world record holders.
