Oliver Hoare, bravo. The brilliant Australian runner pipped a Kenyan to clinch Commonwealth Games gold in an instant classic. 9WWOS CommonwealthGames
Legendary Australian runner Herb Elliott claimed gold in the mile at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games and, 12 years later, the mile was replaced with the 1500m.
Oliver Hoare produced the run of his life to snare Commonwealth Games gold in the men's 1500m on Saturday. At the bell he sat in second in lane one behind the two Kenyans, Timothy Cheruiyot and Abel Kipsang, and inside reigning world champion Jake Wightman. But Hoare, desperate to atone for crashing out in the semi-finals in the US, moved into lane four to avoid congestion on the home straight and extracted every ounce of energy out of himself.He dipped at the line and beat Cheriuyot for gold by 0.9 seconds.
