Cruz is my brother's track coach with Team USA. Beast!
This is a great moment to remember - or for another ones, to find out - that Brazil has so much more to offer than all of those stereotypes that ourselves and the world help us to build. We have people that can make us pride of being brazilians. Thank you, Joaquim Cruz! Congrats from Brasília, Brazil.

Great tactical run by Cruz. He ran the perfect race by staying on the leader's shoulder and guarding his position. He ran the whole race just inside the outside edge of lane 1, meaning he probably covered a few extra metres than necessary. Coe ran practically the whole race in lane 2, resulting in him covering more like 809m and running the equivalent to about a 1:42.5. It's not surprising he couldn't hold on to Cruz with about 80m to go.
