🇺🇸Cole Hocker joins 🇳🇴Jakob Ingebrigtsen as the only two men in HISTORY to become Olympic 1500m Champion AND World 5000m Champion! #WorldAthleticsChamps
- @cole_hocker winning the 5000m with a wildly fast last lap kick = yet another spectacular win. They boxed him in on the 1500m race & here he responded by going all around the outside & smoked everyone From 12th (?) to 1st position … just awesome. #oregon#Indiana#colehocker
✍️ BREAKING NEWS: Olympic 1500m champion @cole_hocker has signed with @GrandSlamTrack ahead of its inaugural season in 2025.
He joins 2023 World champion and Olympic silver medalist Josh Kerr and Olympic bronze medalist Yared Nuguse as the first distance runners to sign with @MJGold's new professional track league.
The full Olympic 1500m podium from Paris will primarily compete in the ‘short distance’ category and will race the 800m and 1500m at each Slam.
🗣️ "It’s truly an honor for me to sign with Grand Slam Track and I’m unbelievably excited for the future of this league. To have someone like Michael Johnson leading the way for our sport is amazing, and it’s clear the sky's the limit for GST. The opportunity to race against the fastest men in the world, like Yared and Josh, four times a year at our Slams, gives us as racers the chance to continue to challenge ourselves and entertain fans across the globe. I’m ecstatic to be a part of this league and can’t wait to race at the Slams.”

14 years ago, a 9-year-old Cole Hocker was a kid of few words after winning the 9-10yo 3k at the CCC National Youth Championships 😂
We're sure a young Hocker would be proud to know that he'd go on to win a 1,500m Olympic gold medal in 2024.
