These are the official results of the Men's 1.500 metres event at the 1995 IAAF World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.
There were a total number of 44 participating athletes, with four qualifying heats, two semi-finals and the final held on Sunday 13th August 1995.
Nobody wanted to try to run fast from the start, Paul McMullen became the early leader and as the largest man in the field, the wind blocker while everybody else was drafting behind.
After 800 metres Vénuste Niyongabo moved to the outside of McMullen and started to edge forward with Morceli the next man back on the outside marking anybody who dared to get too far in front.
Morceli slowed before the finish line almost walking across with the gold, the relatively unknown El Guerrouj got the silver and Niyongabo held on for bronze.
