He was courageous enough to try to do one of the hardest things in running, win a race from the front, wire-to-wire.
😱 A STUNNING upset in the men’s 1500m as AMERICAN COLE HOCKER takes gold!
This was the race that all running nerds had circled on their Olympic schedules, but not because of Hocker.
Oldest brother Henrik finished fifth in the 1,500 meters at the 2012 Olympics.
He said he tried to respond, but ran out of gas – 1500 meters had proven “just 100 meters too much.”“I ruined it for myself by going way too hard,” he said.
