In the roll call of credentials for the announcers of the 1500m, Ollie Hoare’s CV was the briefest. Two world champions, Olympic silver and bronze medallists, world championship finalists, world indoor medallists. And Ollie.Australian Ollie Hoare upstaged the best in the world in the most competitive race of the Commonwealth Games to win gold in the 1500m.
Hoare won in 3:30:12 which was a two second PB and a new games record, beating not only the 2017 world silver medallist and 2019 world champion in Cheruiyot, but the new world champion Jake Wightman from Scotland. Wightman won gold at the world championships only a fortnight ago and was running in front of a parochial British crowd.
“I am just really frustrated and disappointed. I didn’t really show what I can do at all. I was not jumping how I can and how I usually do and so it is just really frustrating,” she said after clearing only 192cms - 10 cms less than she jumped in the US last month. “I don’t want to take any excuses I hold myself accountable for this. This is on me and there’s no excuses under the sun that can explain why I didn’t show up. I didn’t and that’s frustrating and I need to not do that again.”
