  • u idiots who think morceli tripped him, if you watch the video at 4:26 - 4:30, u will see that el guerrouj got too close to morceli and clicked his heel. and another thing is that morceli didn't look behind him when el guerrouj hit his foot, which would have made it nearly impossible to trip him. think about tripping someone without looking when ur running at almost top speed. yeah. it's not gonna happen. and if u try it, ur gonna go down too.

  • If he did, then he deserves a medal for that, because that's more difficult than winning the 1500.

  • Algeria ROCKS !

  • Nobody who runs moves the leg in the same way as Morcelli. I'm going to say in Spanish: Morcelli dejó la pierna pues la mueve no de manera frontal, el deja la pierna moviendola de forma lateral, nadie que haya corrido en el atletismo hace eso pues significa desgaste innecesario de energía (a menos que tengas otro propósito,como en en este caso) . Morcelli patea a El Guerrouj eso está claro!!!

    Even if El Guerrouj hadn't defeated Morcelli before, Morcelli needed to cheat so that he won a medal!!

  • You only have to see this video again in order to notice how Morcelli kicked El Guerrouj(Morcelli made a too strange movement leaving his leg to El guerrouj) Look between 2:38 and 2:42 very carefully and you will see why Morcelli is a cheater (He knew that El Guerrouj was superior at that race)

  • it seems 80% hicham faults..after looking the diferent camera angles and speeds.

  • The trip must've been a great decline to a great runner like El Guerrouj since he finished last. I got pushed down in the 4th kilometer in a 5K race, but I finished 3rd.

  • would he have won if he didn't trip?

  • vive morcelli for ever , the king of 1500 m , we love you morcelli , you are the best for ever

  • el gerrouj here made a big mistake ,he must not tripe Morcelli ...why he stepped on morcllice's foot ?

  • He tripped him on purpose. Friggen cheater!

  • @jimmyg141 Hicham beat morceli a month later in the milan grand prix...
