Mens 1500m Final Rio 2016 Replays
The men's 1500 meters event at the 2016 Summer Olympics took place between 16-20 August at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The men's 1500m final was one for the ages, although not in the way you might expect.
The gold medal was won in a time of 3:50.00, the slowest time since 1932. USA's Matthew Centrowitz won gold by 1 second in the men's 1500m final. The victory was a major upset, as Centrowitz was not considered to be one of the favorites heading into the race.
Centrowitz's victory was a testament to his hard work and dedication. He had been training for years for this moment, and it all paid off in Rio. His win was a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
