Algeriaโ€™s Noureddine Morceli entered the Atlanta 1996 Olympic final as the dominant force in the 1500m, holding the world record and three world titles. His main rival, Moroccoโ€™s Hicham El Guerrouj, was the rising star everyone expected to challenge him.

The race took a dramatic turn when El Guerrouj tripped with one lap to go, allowing Morceli to surge ahead and claim Olympic gold. Spainโ€™s Fermรญn Cacho took silver, while Stephen Kipkorir of Kenya earned bronze.
