Holy s*** i am so glad i ponied up the 5.99 for peacock tv today. That was amazing. Going after world records not saving himself for the olympics, running from the front. I hope he gets double gold
_ The media convinced me that he was done _ I am British _ I was jealous of Jakob _ I don't watch actual meets _ I don't know the Jakob Formula _ I have a weak mental _ Mercury was in retrograde
I will herby respect Jakob Ingebrigtsen and I will NOT talk down on the future Olympic Champion and 1500m GOAT (sign below)

It was so incredible. I was watching the lights and I was like...Wtf he is literally on them. I'm pretty sure he was around 1:51 at 800 and 2:46.3 at 1200m. HE HAS TO GET STRONGER AND GET TO 1200m IN UNDER 2:46 and HE WILL HAVE A SHOT.

But he is doping. Doping is cool in his case but Sedjati is to be crucified?
pace making was very good for Jakob, and he stayed right on their heels for a nice ride. Almost like he was chomping at the bit to pass. he definitely has a little more in him.

800m?
whoops. I copy-pasted my Athing Mu apology form in and forgot to change the 800m part.
I'll get to post that Mu version one day..... (please)
Diamond League 1500 with 2 pacers, and Olympic 1500 with three rounds and zero pacers are almost as different as the 100m and the 110m hurdles. I actually do still have Kerr as the favorite if Jakob doesn't find a better tactic.

July 16, 2023: 3:27.14
August 23, 2023: loses in Budapest, 3:29.65, in a very similar way to the way he lost in 2022
It's not unreasonable to guess that he'll lose again, for the same tactical reasons he lost in 2022 and 2023.
3:26.73 what in the world 54.0 last lap he crushed everyone else, i think he's the favorite over Kerr now
Yeah, has to be the favorite. Kerr is praying nobody gives Jakob any help for the first 3 laps.
Will be a fascinating race.
After that time, Jakob is the clear favourite. The only question against him is can he run that time without pacers and lights. Can he break the field without that help?
After that race, I’m guessing yes. But he needs to not make the same mistakes as the last two WCs.
Also, he didn’t muck around at the beginning. Went straight to the front.

It's funny how people say stuff like 'woah, Kerr will be crapping himself' - as if this isn''t the exact same status going into the last two major championships too.
