Olympic Trivia

TODAY’S TRIVIA — If you didn’t see the men’s 1500 final, do yourself a favor and check it out.

I can’t even begin to describe what a crazy and unreal upset it was when 23-year-old Cole Hocker took down the two heavy favorites Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr (the defending gold medalist and the defending world champion). Even more impressively, he did it in a fast time! He ran an Olympic record and that time was just a hair off the American record. Sometimes upsets can happen in this event when the pace is slow, but that wasn’t the case here.

I could go on and on. Easily the highlight of the Olympics for me. 

Who was the last American (man or woman) to win gold in the 1500m?
