An absolutely insane display of grit, adrenaline and the power of being pushed by the crowd. I think he's never put up a time below 3:30, and now clocks in at 3:27.65, setting an Olympic record in the process.

On CBC, the commentator says "It's a two man race with 200 meters to go!" and Hocker was not one of the two he was talking about lol.
