About This Event
The 1500m is the oldest recognised footrace distance. At the Asian Games, this event often produces tactical running with a furious last 400m kick. Bahrain and Qatar have dominated through naturalised athletes, but Japan and China are developing strong homegrown talent.
Format
Heats advance the top finishers to the final of eight competitors. Athletes run three-and-three-quarter laps of the 400m track. Positions shift dramatically in the final 200m.
Nations to Watch
Bahrain and Qatar are the traditional Asian powers at 1500m. Japan has produced sub-3:40 runners domestically. China and India round out the medal contenders.
