Great Britain's Josh Kerr was made to settle for Olympic 1500m silver behind shock champion Cole Hocker, as Jakob Ingebrigtsen missed out on a medal.
With a perfectly timed final surge, Hocker took gold in an Olympic record three minutes 27.65 seconds. Norway's Ingebrigtsen led from the front but faded in the closing stages to miss the podium in fourth, having lost out in successive world 1500m finals to Kerr and fellow Briton Jake Wightman since his Tokyo triumph.
The 26-year-old, winner of world indoor 3,000m gold in March, was bidding to become the first British man to win Olympic 1500m gold since Sebastian Coe beat team-mate Steve Cram at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
