That sounds about right. He took it out way too fast. Hocker held back. Too much drama built up with him and Kerr that consumed both of them.

No, it did not consume Kerr. Kerr showed up laser focused and executed exactly as he was supposed to. He could not have run faster today and got beaten by a fitter runner who also ran smart. Jakob is the only big loser today and yes also with all the mental unforced psychological errors.

re: It's hard

With the wisdom of hindsight - I think he might have held it if he'd waited until 200 until he started hammering down, rather than coming around 400 at WR pace.

Fair play though - he tried something completely insane, outside of his comfort zone, and on the biggest stage.

Also, fair play to Hocker, who followed this, and massively overperformed (based on previous PR - I'd thought he perhaps had 3:29.5 in him never 3:27.65)

Let him have it, man... Jakob losing is the only thing that gets the blood flowing in his nether regions these days.

Femboys need to wake up, Jakob is not a God and certainly not the king of the 1500. I hope today set you all straight.

Gotta respect him for owning it.
He didn't own it honestly enough. The fact is he not only ran the first 400 too fast, he ran the first 100 easy and then blasted to the front so his 100-400 cooked him hard. There are easier ways to run a fast 400 and even that he fkd up.

I thought you were gonna happy you got your prediction right, but these comments really cement you are a true loser lol.

Cool win from Hocker, he’s gonna be an incredibly hard nut to crack. Cant see Kerr besting him, not Jakob either unless he gets even faster.. Most thrilling race I ever witnessed. Looking forward to the 5000m race now.

And where is the respect for Kerr who also delivered with his PB and clean execution???

Well, I guess he did show up after all...! Hocker and Nuguse as well.
My team always say that "because you have a big mouth and is the one to beat, you have everything to lose in competitions". Today, Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse and Josh Kerr outsmarted me. They were "the best guys" when it really mattered. And I want to congratulate them all on a great performance!
Of course, I am disappointed!
Running is the ultimate sport. Everyone can participate. Everyone can set their own goals and achieve them. All you need is to show up. Not long ago, I trained alongside kids and average runners at Sandnes stadium. Today, I competed alongside one of my countrymen in an Olympic 1500 final. Ten years ago, no one in Norway would have believed this was possible. Until Henrik and Filip showed us all that it is.
I sincerely want to express my gratitude and love to them and the rest of the team, and to my partners and the Norwegian athletics association and all my followers for the support this year. Thank you so much. It means a lot to me!
Thank you also to all my competitors for putting on a great show today. Congratulations to the guys bringing home the medals!
Luckily for me, I get to do it all again tomorrow morning.
Classy comment. I wonder if it was actually written by Jakob.

Interesting he refers to Kerr as "he".

In today's world that's better than "they"

He's kind of missing the point. It's less about the pace than the fact that no one in the race would be capable of leading wire to wire (except Hocker in a very slow race). Put anyone else in front for three honest laps and he might have won. But it's a lot of extra work to pace the field.

LetsRun posters would have called his tactics stupid in any outcome other than him winning, so I was peeved to see that several times on the live thread. Lets it go slow for any length of time and gets outkicked: stupid, he should have made it a 3:26/3:27 race from the gun. Tries to make it a 3:26/3:27 race from the gun: stupid, he served as a pacer and wasted energy. I personally don’t think he could have outright won today no matter how he played it; he probably could have medaled, but hindsight is 20/20.
It was similar in the men’s 10k when I saw people ask “Wtf were the Ethiopians thinking??” I’m sure we’ll hear the same thing if they don’t set a fast pace in the 5k (or if they do).
If you’re trying to blast a 3:26/3:27 to kill off all challengers you have to run 55s, so 54.9+ at 400 isn’t that awful a misjudgment. Of course it’d be better to err on the cautious side through the first lap, but again, hindsight…

Exceptional take. Far from the typical LRC crap: bad tactics, bad training, bad coaching, low character, too much this, not enough that. The truth of the matter is you run the race 10 times you get 5 different medal iterations, probably 3 different golds. Watch how the rest of the season plays out.

Some exciting stuff so far. The Americans won't get any medals -- right?

re: malmo

This is all so silly. He went out at 3:27 pace, which everybody before the race would have said was the right plan. That is what 55 seconds is, 3:27.

The tactis were fine. He was just too slow to get the job done. He wasn't good enough to win. Period.

re: JohnR

Top 4 are within 1% of each other. Good for Cole! Run it again and maybe someone else wins. I love that none of these guys is dominant. It will make for exciting future 1500 races

re: Trollminator

Have never really been a fan of Jakob but I think he's awesome now after the year he's had. He's still the most likely guy to ever break the WR and he loves to race hard.

Plus that diving finish to win the race earlier this year. Love the guy now and kinda hope he's back on top soon. Way easier to root for him as an underdog.

From the NRK (Norwegian TV) website:
"Obviously I'm disappointed. It went wrong. I felt quite strong and that is partly why it turns out the way it does, says Ingebrigtsen to NRK.
"I have so much strength that it gets a little too hard too soon."
Ingebrigtsen says that about halfway through the race he saw on the big screen in the stadium that he was about to get a small gap.
- And then you get a little excited. I want to take the chance to run away a bit. Then it was just a little too far, says Ingebrigtsen and continues.
- Of course I am disappointed, but there are many different reasons for things that happen. But it's a bit annoying that I mess it up for myself, says Ingebrigtsen.
He emphasized that he only had himself to blame for missing the podium.
He also explained why he went too hard from the start.
- I had extremely good legs and a fantastic feeling. Then I'm a bit too sure of myself, so I get far too hard an opening and go quite hard in the middle too. That's going to be a fourth place, says Ingebrigtsen.
He was aware that he was unable to adjust the speed either.
- I took myself down, says Ingebrigtsen.

This is the problem. He's thinking too much about everyone and everything during the race instead of just going out there and giving it all he's got and daring them to follow. He looked up at the screen mid-way, he looked back over his shoulder with 400 to go and again at 200 from the line instead of just racing. Classic overthinker. Always going to lose to a pure racer like Hocker or ever Kerr unless he just runs to win.

I hope this experience humbled him and he learns to respect the next guys.

Kerr finally showing his true colours getting a low dig at Jakob with that last answer...

Sad that he disrespects him so much; Kerr wouldn't be half the runner he is now without Jakob dragging him up to his level.

I think there’s no reason to believe he can’t front run a winning 1500. He just can’t go out on 3:25.5 pace while everyone else sits behind him running perfectly even splits.
56-56-55-40 is 3:27.xx and is probably easier on him and harder on everyone else than what he did

Yeah. What he did at Euros was the blueprint, and he deviated today & went out way too fast.

He did back off the pace on the second lap...he went out to fast first lap. IMO this was bad tactics to begin with. He should have waited to take the lead at 500m and slowly ratched down the pace, leaving himself with plenty to kick last 200m. might not have worked though.

💯. Let it go slow for a quarter then start building to WR pace by 800 and be fresh enough if anyone is still around with 250 to go. Ps if Hocker passed on outside he was going under 3:27!

Correct so instead of a medal Jakob goes home empty handed. Championship racing is a thinking man's game.
