Craig Mottram winning in Ostrava

[pabanil]

That is not Kenenisa Bekele. Thats his brother.

[zaphodbeeblebrox1984]

Breaks two world records, in fact.

[MyMeatYearns4Andrea]

Craig Mottram is a mediocre and forgettable, but--bizarrely--supremely arrogant, wanker.

[masterbutan]

Craig Mottram: What a bunch of midgets surrounds me...

[dircyusuf1977]

first white boy to beat africans

[QuentonCassidism]

Pre would be proud

[111WWEEBB]

lol the guy just beat an entire field of Africans. Boss, too bad he never had more international success than he did

[shaolinmasters]

Craig beat Tariku Bekele, not Kenenisa Bekele. Craig is undoubtedly an excellent runner, but he is not on the scale of Kenenisa Bekele

[AntiConniff]

Why all these comments about race? What the heck does is matter whether a runner is black or white? Can't we just appreciate great running, wherever the runner is from?

[chawsooilong]

he is black man with white man mask.....superb....

[SuperJacko11]

1:14 commentator sounds like he says he say "he eats nine biscuits a week"

[njolly99]

To get you really amped. Open a second window. Play this. youtube.com/watch?v=OjYaRosxiU­s And get motivated.

[mazungo0]

53.9 from the front in a 13:05 race. Baller.

Hope his comeback keeps going well. Mottram had a very nice stepping stone result at world XC in a very long event for him.

[MrJackG29]

It was Bekele's brother, not kenehisa, still a good run though

[LastTimeX]

Impressive. He beat some of the best long distance runners in the world in this race (Tariku Bekele, Gebre Gebremariam, Micah Kogo, etc.)

[xxxDAPROBLEMxxx]

INSPIRATIONAL. The white man can do it

[Amyloverboy]

honestly i don't like Mattram at all, but that was some nice running right there.

[termilla87]

yes he is australian man and white man.....it's very rare that a white man wins in african territory......my comments based on the fact that african runners have genetic characteristics that bring the africans to wins almost the important competions on middle and long distance....i'd say the same if a kenian won a competition on cross-country ski.......it's a rarity in first and second case.....

[thISxTHplacE]

@termilla87 Is what you just said a joke? That is so wrong in so many ways.

[termilla87]

@thISxTHplacE It's wrong for you...and I respect your opinion....if you see the order of arrivals in the most important competitions e have only african people...this is a fact....

[thISxTHplacE]

@termilla87 being african has nothing to do with it. It's the environment, and hard work. If a white guy grew up in Africa and trained with the Africans, he would be winning races too. It is not genetic characteristics. They work their asses off. The train harder than the white guy. That is why they win. It's not luck.

[termilla87]

@termilla87 yes i could be agree......but what white man live in Africa with Ethipioan and Kenian? I've never seen a white Kenian or Ethiopian.athlete..genethic characteristics exist without doubt..if a white man lives in Etiopia or Kenia for 5 or 6 generations the speech is different....there are many white that live in south africa but i don't remeber no one on long distance runner of high level..best white on 5000 is 12,55, african 12,39, white on 10000 26 ,59 african 26,17, both work hard.

[HowieLives]

that was little bekele lol mottram would get smoked by his big brother K. Bekele

[termilla87]

finally white man that beat african kenians and etiopians.....big runner!

[467076]

@termilla87 Hes not white hes Australian.

[thISxTHplacE]

@467076 its not like that makes him black. he's white.

[babbsiscool]

I love how Hail G. breaks a world record at the end of this vid and its not in the info nor does it looke like anyone has commented on it.

[poo72]

Thank you Craig. Some hope for white men

[papanzinga]

@poo72 Just because lightning strikes somewhere one time, does not mean that those people there should count on it as a reliable future source of electrical power..

[467076]

@poo72 Craig is not white hes Australian.

[thetalkincow]

I'd turn gay for mottram

[pedro800m]

sounds like one of hitlers speechs

[joeyyowee]

That's why Mottram won.

[pedrogas79]

MAZUNGOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[papanzinga]

@pedrogas79 Muzungu NOT Mazungo...

[algiardello]

True that. Mottram beat Kenenisa in a different race, at the end of the 2006 season. Don't think he could beat him now, especially given Mottram's unfortunate recent troubles. I miss the old Buster. Hope he returns to form, whether or not he can beat KB.

[oldjoe5]

I don't believe Mottram ever beat KB

[algiardello]

But he did. Sept. 17, 2006. IAAF World Cup 3000m. Mottram ran 7:32.19, and KB finished second, slightly over 4 seconds behind. Look it up.

[oldjoe5]

You are correct.

I don't know how that either slipped by me -- or was forgotten by me

[XXNERVEXX]

collis birmingham is the new aust hope.

[tycosedler]

Mottram is bomb....

[hostaden]

what a shame

[sokha326]

Why did he finish at the 300m mark!?

[algiardello]

Not saying that Mottram is better than K. Bekele, but he HAS beaten him: 2006 World Cup 3000m.

[knightsxc06]

It's a real and true shame to see a 12:55 5k man who can do next to nothing in a major championship (commonwealth silver not withstanding).

[bootymanager]

He showed a good kick here. He doesn't usually have that change of pace. He'll be better now. He'll get over the injuries and be better than ever. Now is the crucial time: 28-29. He's got to stay injury free.

[checho42236478]

yo pieso q mottram es un excelente corredor pero solamente en algunas carreras tiene el nivel como para enfretarse a bekele o lagat, etc...y en otras carreras no esta al nivel de carreras antriores

[kiwibooth]

craig mottram is a good runner but he probabaly wont win beijing we will see

[kiwibooth]

the comment about craig motram winning olimpic gold is highly unlikley

[mcstale]

'the comment about craig motram winning olimpic gold is highly unlikley'.....If you doubt craig can win gold then why are you watching this video? He clearly just displayed top world class running over a top class field......what makes you think he cant do it at beijing?

[racketer]

look at half of his recent races. Shit results and he ant even got fast times recorded. Thats why and bekele's the man

[mcstale]

ok so 2008...he wins the pac-10km.....wins the stockholm 3000m....and finishes less than 1 second behind the worlds 3 greatest 1500m runners including the world champion bernard lagat who craig was something like 0.25seconds behind....not to mention the race was slow giving those 3 runners an advantage with there 1500m speed.......but yeh craigs recent results have been heaps shit aye......wake up to yourself....

[racketer]

Mottram isnt going to win Bejing. END OF. he isnt good enough.

[racketer]

yeah he done a good job winning that gold! HE DIDNT EVEN MAKE THE FINAL!!! HA HA. and he had no excuses. He just COULDNT do it. Some gold medal that was he got.

[matt6101]

i totally agree they have no idea what there talking about, it is past Beijing and Craig didn't do to well but your point is still valid

[MyMeatYearns4Andrea]

@mcstale Sadly, three years on, we can see what an ignorant fool you are to rave about Mottram's meagre talent.

[tadaa11]

@MyMeatYearns4Andrea Yea, total ignorance thinking that a 3:48 miler, 8:03 Two miler, and a 12:55 5,000m runner could medal at a world level. Oh that's right he already did.

[binn797]

ur right, mottram just beat tariku bekele, not kenenisa. kenenisa is invincible in his kick

[bax0001]

i could have done that

if i trained since i was 3

eat right

it would be easy

[mooca513]

Yeah...but you didnt.

[wingedfeet26]

you would have burned out if you trained since you were three and you have no idea what your talking about

[mcstale]

Mottram is going to win gold in beijing...The whole world knows it!!

[moonwatcher11]

kenny B is good, but Mottram is a sexy beast

[BrBr145]

Kenenisa would of beat him easliy!!

[madastonniesuh]

That is Kenenisa Bekele's brother I think. Good job Craig!

[harshvgaus]

go buster, get the gold in athens

[armi090]

Big brother Bekele would have beat him down that straight. Hands down.

[Eljayan]

Slow... dont you think?

[nsgunner]

Mo farah was excellent today winning the Great North Run beating Kenya's Kipchoge. Farah biding his time until 150 metres from the finish line, stormed past Kenya's 2003 World gold and 2007 World silver 5000m track medallist Eliud Kipchoge to claim victory in a time of 7:56.3. Well done Mo farah and Craig Mottram.

[imustbreakyou12]

Alright mates, its Craig here. That was a tough race alrgihty but i pulled through. Im goin for a pizza now so guddaii

[racketer]

getting a bitta drink in to mottram? thats the way to live

[racketer]

i was in that race to.. tough last lap

[cathyhaynes]

Nice kick Buster! Go for the worlds!

[racketer]

i was in that race. It was a tough last 2 laps.

[XDominationStationX]

which one are you? name?

[RunningVids]

fantasy world much?

[tesfalidet]

sileshi shinie will get you at worlds you australian bastard

[warner003]

LOL. I dont think you have the right to call him an australian bastard going by the country you come from

[dmg986]

He beat T. Bekele (a 12:52 runner himself), World Championship winners and medalists, a 26:40 10,000m runner in Micah Kogo, and more great runners. He will contend for the win at 5,000m in Osaka.

[imustbreakyou12]

Nothin big from Mottram. It was Bekeles wee brother he beat, not da man himself. Gona be tough for Mottram in Osaka

[agentlala]

when was this?

[salsasonic]

Picked the right time to move. Not too early or too hard like Kennedy...

[TheSureThing]

Buster you legend!

[gav800]

aus dont know how lucky they are to have this guy.

[tempestroad]

BAD ASS video! Thanks for posting!

[mitchhayes1]

Mottram is the dominator!

[pavelkostov]

i hope he wins in osaka
