In the 1,500-meter Olympic final, American Cole Hocker pulled off a major upset by winning with an Olympic-record time of 3:27.65, outpacing favorite Josh Kerr of Britain, who took silver. Hocker, a 23-year-old from Indianapolis, achieved a personal best and surprised many in the Stade de France. Yared Nuguse of the U.S. claimed bronze, while Norwegian star Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who started at a world record pace, finished fourth. Ingebrigtsen admitted he sabotaged his performance by running too fast early on, which contributed to his disappointing result.
