The Scot had been ultra confident of his chances before the race, so he found it hard to hide his disappointment at the silver as he crossed the line - despite beating his rival into fourth.
Scottish athlete Josh Kerr beat his arch rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the 1500m final at the Paris Olympics....but still missed out on Gold.
He set a new British record of 3:27:79, with Yared Nuguse of the US in bronze. Kerr, in his trademark shades, shook his head in disbelief after Hocker raced past in an Olympic record. 3.27:65.

In a repeat of the result from the Tokyo Games, the Dutch trio of Harrie Lavreysen, Jeffrey Hoogland and Roy van den Berg retained their title, breaking their own world record twice, winning in a time of 40.949 seconds, almost a second up on Team GB.
He said that his Norwegian rival had "flaws on the track and in the manners realm". And that he was surrounded by "yes men".
