Mo Farah wins the final of the 10,000m to take the gold medal in the Olympic Stadium at the London 2012 Olympics Games.
Farah was followed by USA's Galen Rupp taking silver and Ethiopia's Tariku Bekele taking bronze.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

My PB in a 400m is 54 seconds. This dude just ran a 53 second 400m after running 9600m
It's crazy
Ayyy 54 seconds gang 👊
insane bruh
Respect to you👌🏻
People who don't run dont understand how mad that is
Am I the only one who is completely transfixed by their legs? They have the most fluid form, the most effortless rhythm, the most mesmerising running cadence. Poetry in motion.
The phrase "Poetry in motion" is beautiful
@@willburchett4667 a popular phrase in the world of sports
They run like robots 😳

They all have the same stride It’s amazing to watch
9 years later and you watch this Video. Congrulations, you are a legend.
Imagine seeing this 12 years later
Try 12 years later. Still watch this at least once a year

+Rian Stanford what minute? i dont understand what rolling in the spit means hahaha..
+textera147 the American spit on the track and Mo was rolling in joy on the track not noticing the spit inches away from his head
Aye haha
He paced himself the entire race, slowly moving forward. very impressive.
Yep that's what it's about
North American extremely
Converted Muslim 😂
King
That’s the North American analysis for you haha :p
When you consider the recent revelations about Mo's childhood, it makes this and his other achievements even more impressive. What he had to overcome inside himself, and the pain he endured.
Very impressive
It’s incredible
Just ashame he was on the juice though!!!!
Shame he’s a lying drugs cheat and a fraud who denied a clean athlete.
@@jasonlomakin6722 orange juice is nice
This really looks like a hardcore sport these athletes are incredible for doing this
Oh yeah!
Insane amounts of respect should be given to these men and women
Try running a mile with stopwatch and you'll appreciate these people 1000x more.
People always say that the 400 or 800 is the hardest I would say this is almost harder
@@crabb9966 mentally I think it really is, during the race at least. you need to adapt each time to the race that's going on. sure sometimes they might know how different athletes like to pace their runs but strategies might change. Always having that need to check your own pace and know when to start sprinting must be harder than just "blindly" running as fast as you can each time.
I teared up in joy and admiration watching him win, and I'm neither British nor Somali. Great athleticism has no nationality.
jiggy meister : nope it's all about your race , your ethnic and which place you came from , so it's clear that east africans are the hardest , fastest and the fathers of modern human civilisation from the horn to Cairo , so do not say athleticism has no nationality or history ,yes it does. Have you seen the carved huge rocks and rock pyramids of egypt ?! Do you think any human can do such a work under the hot sun of egypt even the modern white Egyptians, except those strong skinny cushitic people which are painted on the walls of each pyramid and item of ancient egypt and nubia ?
@@daariqahmed8297 fathers of modern civilization. Doubt that mate. Over there they are still playing with sticks and stones😂😂
Its funny, ignorance has no ethnicity or race. One guy says they're the fathers of modern civilisation, the other talks about them playing with sticks and stones. Conclusion: You're both the same - Ignorant.
Taariq is rignt the modern civilization is from east africa the land of orginity even the civilization of Egypt was from horn of africa. Read more to know more brothers.
@@Danny_BlaZe they are the fastest, but they do still live in dirt houses
I love the shot at 38:35 when Mo looks back to see whose in second and Rupp is there smiling at him! I love that the training partners came in first and second!
That made an already amazing Olympic story just that much better.
He's a druggy though tahts how he even had a shot at being near the Somali Ethiopian or kenyan

10 years later and I am still willing him over the finish line with tears in my eyes!! One of the most memorable moments of London 2012 for me. Sir Mo 🇬🇧🥇🎊
An absolute legend. He is up there with the very best athletes this country has ever seen!
53.5 seconds on a final lap? Holy hell :-0
Ikr!
+Mitjitsu Hahahaha right? I run exactly a minute in the 400. And I'm a freshman sprinter in highscool! tf :d hahahah these guys are amazing.
I ran 400m in 58 seconds and represented my school at that distance when I was 16, and I thought I was quick :-D
Mitjitsu hahahah right d:
+songsforpantstowearl their world class athletes.... What do u expect, e.g usain bolt A HUMAN can sprint 100m in 9:58 seconds!
Galen Rupp became the first American to medal in the 10,000 since Billy Mills' incredible gold medal win in 1964. Bravo!!
He was also the first white medalist in this event since 1988, in an event dominated by East Africans....no small feat.
You figured that out all by yourself. 🙄
@@englishorchard-haze4708 eh I think they would have run faster prs if they were on epo, and rupp didn't win or medal much after this, the whole reason mo wins so much is because he has insane finishing speed and everyone resorts to tactical racing in championships which gives him an edge
@@englishorchard-haze4708 sour loser much
He is a druggy though, a cheat
Farrah and Rupp really made me cry! They train together so well and became brothers then dominated the race
I love that the first thing Mo and Galen do after they cross the line is hug each other. Rivals on the day, but friends, always!
Final lap: *53.48*. Damn !!!
MikeDunn I know right! My fastest quarter is 68 seconds! These SOBs are fast!
For long distance athletes like Mo Farah, that's pretty bloody quick
+AmericanMetalhead100 long distance take there time, but a fast 400 meter which is a full lap can be done in les than 50 seconds by professional runners
+Ismail N The awesome thing is to do it after 24 laps punishing the body
@@joys8634 record at my school is 49 something so you gotta be pretty good to get that
GO MO! I am Somali by blood and British by birth and the British have given me a life I could never have had in Somalia so I'm proud to raise the Union Jack any day. But that does not mean I have forgotten the motherland, hopefully in a few years Somalia will return to its former glory.
I came back here to reply to this beautiful comment to say ‘I’m Somali by blood and grateful to Switzerland for giving me an opportunity to work and I hope we can one day payback the favor’ 😊
The crowd was so lit, it seems they were consistently cheering during the whole race! Sad to think that at Tokyo the crowd size is much limited :(
This man knows how to run.. saves energy staying behind the pack while sprinting the last few laps.. well deserved!
He's proud to be Somalian and proud to be British
Amanuel Taddesse He runs for Great Britain.
Amanuel Taddesse why always we have a negative people like you he is somali why you care go after you purpose
That is is true bro i am from somalia
he is somalilander not somali deferent countries
Adam LB The british are also proud of him!
"a happy man, a happy family, a happy nation"

he would do wonders for his home country somalia, but instead he’s running for GB. what a disappointment.
Impressive race for Mr. Rupp too. Obviously great training partners, Mo & Galen.
all the athletes who complete this race deserve a gold medal.
Even the last to finish guys made it 1 minute after he finished...that is their slowest lmao holy tish
I remember how I watched this on the sofa with my mum and dad and grandparents and yelled at Mo Farah on the screen and jumped up and down and cheered when he won. Good times :)
Theololol exactly the same as me. Me, my brother, mum and dad - we were going mental.
Hi
🤣😂❤💚
I'm 90% sure I could take Mo Farah in this race if I had a car and a full tank of fuel.
What type of car is the question..
Stromyknife | Scorox any car. this guy could smoke you or I any day of the week
You would need a fast car.
MrMiniKG Are you freaking kidding me??????? 10,000 meters is a little over 5 and half miles...wow you are either really dumb or under 6 years old.
James Benton Ticer 6 and 1/4 miles
Absolutely amazing, a 27:30 10k and a last lap of 53.48 seconds! Just let that sink in everybody 👏
I'm from Bangladesh and I feel proud being a muslim that mo farah is the most successful distance runner. He inspires me every time.his sizdah(prayer) after wining is the most beautiful things ever to me...his energy his patience his dedication is an extreme level.
Слава Аллаху!!!❤
Goosebumps. Every time it gives me goosebumps watching this. I ran 10k last year in 58 minutes. These boys ran it in half that time, and could still stand up to do a lap of honour. Incredible.

The news which has just come out about sir Mo makes this achievement even more incredible. A true living legend.
I was in the stadium when he won the 5000m I’ve never experienced an atmosphere like it. The crowd was just crazy one of the most memorable moments of my life
That crowd though! Can't beat the English crowds! Never in doubt!! Amazing Mo.
I was there :D It was awesome!
Not English BRITISH!!!!!! 🇬🇧
@@W.A.T.P...55 well the stadium is in England .............
We Americans are loud but I’ve never seen a crowd as loud as the British! Much respect.
@@W.A.T.P...55 yeah I meant British I apologise.
I ran 10kms in 42 minutes and am so happy with that. But damn those times!
That's actually quite good. I think 42 minutes is respectable for us "mere mortals". That's like a 6:25 minute mile right?
Keep running, that's a terrific time!
I ran 10kms in 1 second
that's super good, U will only respect those guys if u have ever raced.

Came back after watching his documentary, hussein/mo our love and support for you has only magnified, superb human who defied all odds
Sir Mo Farah truly deserved that Gold yeesss!!!! I had the privilege to interview him recently for the Doha Marathon... Truly flipping inspirational. GOD BLESS YOU GO MO GO!!!
It was wonderful watching this race but I most enjoyed the victory and how he ran up to his daughter and wife and also gave thanks and respects to God. True humility and character right there!
Damn these dudes are superhuman warriors! Running that fast from start to finish. Damnnnnn!!!
"starter wasn't happy.. I guess somebody's foot was on the line... There's only 25 laps to go after all." Incredible.
I ran this in the 38's way back in college, and I was good enough to win local age group categories. We had a Kenyan on our team and I got to watch him break 30 at a conference meet. The performance gap between him and me was gigantic. But the gap between him and someone like Farah or Bikele who could run 27:30 on demand may be even larger. You gain such an appreciation for the talent of elite distance runners watching this, especially those like Farah who had such a long period of dominance and is breaking WR in 2020!
I STILL get chills watching that last lap!
try watching the 1997 world championship 10k final. especially the last 800m.

Some 16 months after the fact and this race STILL excites me. Being an Oregon fan I'm very proud of Mr. Rupp but also am extremely happy for MO FARAH!
Long distance running always leaves me in AWE! What an incredible race and incredible win! Can't wait for the 2021 olympics!!!
The fact that Farah came 1st for Gold and his training partner Rupp came 2nd for Silver, well that is really special and that embrace between the two afterwards just says it all! I'll never forget this and what an Olympics 2012 was!
and their coach got life time banned for cheating
It is surely impossible not to like Mo Farah.
Lol , if you don't mind drug cheats I guess 🤣
I always come back to this, was icing on the cake for great Olympics for me, and the entire GB for pulling such a wonderful Olympics start to end... miss you London2012. What a crowd also.
I could watch this over and over a billion times
I love how the security guy stops Mo’s daughter but then grins when he realises who she is.

What a race..Watched this live and my fav Olympic race ever by far plus the 5000m..Today is the 7th/07/2022 and u’ve just announced your retirement.Thanks for sharing your talent to the world.Wish you all the best in your future endeavours Sir Mo Farah 💯👊🏾🙏🏾🇬🇧
33:14 Rupp puts up #1 then quickly realizes that he got second
Lol, I noticed that.... He's a little full of himself here, but you know what, he trained hard for this thus, he deserves it, good on him. I am happy for him and his success here.
FaithsStardust ik i just thought it was funny that he did that
If you are not joking, here's the solution: Rupp pointed out that Farah and him got 1st and 2nd. Rupp and Farah are close traning partners in the Oregon project under the guidance of coach Salazar.
axlrosea675 its usual for an athlete to hold up the number 1, until he realized that he in fact didn't get 1 but 2, he was not pointing out the fact that him and Farah got 1st and 2nd it was just funny how he changed it
You don't SERIOUSLY believe that Rupp did not realize that he came in second rather than first? You have to be joking. Look at the time stamp you pointed out. He congratulates Mo and, as his tranining partner hugs him and then points out their special double victory.
I can't even run up a flight of stairs xD
Yes you can. I doubt you would be watching this video if you didn't at least aspire to be like these guys. Now go run.
***** It was a joke, calm down xD
stairs will make you tierd more than runing 100m (ur maxmm sped)
+Anas Ahmed it will make u more tired than running 10000m?
Mmnh but we do as our main bro Mo Farah
i dont even know how many times i have watched it.
Dude i ran a 5k in 30 minutes lmao 💀
That's not bad, as sustained effort is still required.
SAME 💀 The best I could do is 30 minutes in 5K in high school before i had a tear in my legs and a knee injury. Our coach had us train 10k and I just can't run straight 🤣🤣 at least i finished it. Dunno what's the time tho
@@momostrike3786 Some just quits in between..but bro you dared to complete it hats off to you..✊
@@lifeisbeautiful1562 yeah ngl i feel like puking from exhaustion 💀

i could beat them, easily, just let me get my keys and warm up the engine

There is no way, you would have to be really trained, and if you could beat these guys you would be running for money

How he run to the his daughter melted my heart ❤️
All Mo Farah fans check out his book its amazing story I cant stop reading it he truly is amazing 💪
Thanks I read that book but it was written my language Somali
11 years on and this is still magic to see
Love how when they hugged after and turned, Mo held up 1 finger and initially Rupp did as well, then he swapped to 2 fingers. Made me chuckle
One of my all time favorite race videos- the 2 Oregon training partners are victorious again!!
Yes, it's almost like they had extra help
Mo farah is big legend ❤️👏🏻
There's so much richness in this race! The crowd👏. Kipsiro falls to the track. Kiprop (with the world-leading time) drops out 😱. The Bekele brothers. 💪 The Golden hour of British athletics.🥇 4 laps to go and the outcome is still in doubt. The finish! The celebrations!
That reminds me have to check out the 1988 100m final, what a great race. Amazing performances.
