    Fact of the day:

    Paavo Nurmi, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Herb Elliott, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Peter Snell, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Kip Keino, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    John Walker, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Noureddine Morceli, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Noah Ngeny, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Hicham el Guerrouj, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Asbel Kiprop, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Taoufik Makhloufi, one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Matt Centrowitz Jr., one 1500m Olympic gold medal;

    Jakob Ingebrigtsen, one 1500m Olympic gold medal (he may win a 5000m-not another 1500m).

    Fifteen-hundred meter Olympic gold medals are difficult to earn.

    Did he tell on himself as an informant?

    The time makes him a unique figure. A win is a win, and are interested by the unconventional. Do we have Centro to thank for the current all-out racing paradigm?

    Which personally I think makes it more impressive as everyone in that race was a great chance of winning at the bell but he was the best.

    Impressive is when you run as fast as the 14 year old Jakob. USA! USA! USA!

    After splitting the first 800m in about 2:16.9, J I, two years ago, J I last year would have gotten Six Different Kinds of Dog Sh!t Kicked Out of Him.

    ...and he led wire to wire and ran something like a 50 flat last lap. If it was so slow, why didn't any one else run faster?

    14 year old Jacob would not have finished as fast you dolt. A win is a win and the Olympics re about winning not the time.

    A time trial is about time. There's a difference.

    Let it go. These are arguments for people that either are new to pro running or just don’t get it. The purpose of a race is to win, no matter how fast or slow. At the end of the day, the guy is Olympic Champion, Workd Champion, national champion, NCAA Champion, and state champion. You literally can do no better.

    I totally agree. That final was epic. He totally dominated and psychologically trashed an amazing field into submission. Can't ever imagine something like that having ever happened before or happening again.

    Are these the fabled boomer brain worms? Does this qualify as a coherent sentence to you?

    re: more impressive?

    You are critical of my writing style but you do not disagree with gist of my post. M C raced final 700m in about 93.1 seconds, 2016 Olympics, 1500m final. Give J I a day or two off, an ice tub or a warm bath, whatever J I prefers. J I is barely capable of 93.1 700m under any conditions. As I stated: J I would get Six Different Kinds of Dog Sh1t kicked out of him in that type of 1500m race.

    Of course I don't disagree with your statement. If Jakob runs in a way that that utilizes none of his strengths then he will lose, holy moly, what an insight! I will follow your example and post more brilliant thoughts: if Jakob stays at the start line for 30 seconds then he will get "Six Different Kinds of Dog Sh1t kicked out of him". Woah! Who knew?

    So then why should anyone criticize Centro for winning in a way that suited his strengths?

    tells a lotta interesting stories about his dad chewing him out, Hicham El G recognizing him as talented from a young age, and the race delay that ultimately helped him win Olympic gold.

    This quoted post has been removed.

    Interesting how mods allow harrassing language and allegations of doping to remain on the Centro threads yet other runners with even less inflammatory comments "one princess in mind" get deleted immediately. Enough of this favoritism
