2000 Sydney Olympics: 1500m Men's Results
Gold: Noah Ngeny
Silver: Hicham El Guerrouj
Bronze: Bernard Lagat
The men's 1500m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics was a thrilling race, with Noah Ngeny of Kenya taking home the gold medal in a time of 3:32.07. Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco won the silver medal in 3:32.32, and Bernard Lagat of Kenya took the bronze in 3:32.44.
Ngeny's victory was a major upset, as El Guerrouj was the heavy favorite coming into the race. However, Ngeny ran a perfectly judged race and was able to hold off El Guerrouj's late charge to win the gold medal.
Lagat's bronze medal was a great achievement for the Kenyan team, as it was their first medal in the 1500m since 1968.
