Yes. I thought he ran impressively. I mean he was just running juniors last year. All the haters are hoping he'll stagnate or disappear though...otherwise their next 5-10 years will be a nightmare.
Geogre had to back off the sauce that Timothy is taking lmfao if Barrega is 18 Jakob is 8 by that logic haha

Little known Irish-Kenyan that goes by Bro Colm.
Durianrider reckons Brother Colm is the front for a colossal doping scheme. Nothing to see here.
You do realize that Jakob's 3:30 is more like a 3:47-48 mile right?

Jim Ryun ran 3:51.3 as a junior in 1966. Jakob Ingebrigtsen ran 3:51.30 as a junior in 2019. Also, Jim Ryun won the races in which he set his fastest times. He didn’t have winners to draft off of. Jakob hasn’t won a 1500m faster than 3:36 AFAIK.
Jim Ryun was more talented.
Ryun did this only after having started running his sophomore year in high school, not at 8 years old.
.....on cynder & dirt tracks
.....with crap shoes
.....doing training that pretty much only involved endless 400 repeats with 60 second rests
Yes, more talented, and certainly a faster top speed.

DURIANRIDER?!?! Now THERE's a good source!! lol
Jakob & Filip are too large to be gold medal 5000m men. Jakob is too slow with his 1:48 or 1:49 800m speed to win gold at 1500m. Filip may or may not earn another 1500m medal. Jakob needs S Coe to make 3000m an Olympic and W.C. event. These are the facts.

If he medals (as he almost certainly will) in Tokyo, or wins gold there (which is very possible or even likely if he continues his steady progression) nobody is going to remember that he supposedly 'went home devastated' for losing to a handful of mostly obvious dope cheats in an infamous World Championships at 19 years 2 weeks old.
He's still ahead of Jim Ryun in his prodigiousness - the previous holder of the title of greatest teen prodigy in running (that we can be sure was his stated age).
Jim Ryun set his world records at 19, and Jakob will at least set the clean records next year at the same age.
If WADA/the IAAF doesn't do something about doping in Africa, then it wont be long before the empty stadiums in Doha will be the norm even for Championships and Olympics held in Europe and elsewhere.
Athletics went home devastated from Doha.
My GOD you are such a racist moron. I love Jakob. I was pulling for him to grab some medals. But to be soooooo positive that he is clean and that everyone who beats him is doped is the ultimate butthurt, white power-trip. Stop being a whiner. Jakob is awesome. But so are dozens of E. Africans. Yes, a few are doped, but a large majority of the ones beating him (or who have had careers in the past that he will never touch, See: Kipchoge, Geb, Bekele, etc, etc, et), are clean. Just like he is.
You were the idiot who said just last week that you "wouldn't be surprised if he wins the double". The odds of that happening were miniscule. You've also stated he will likely beat WR's in the 1500 and 5k. Again, incredibly unlikely.
Had had a a great meet. Stop over-predicting results for him and enjoy. And stop trashing every single runner who beats him.
Oh loooord, another thread hijacked by the racist vermin ??. Lots of drivel from the usual suspects.... weak excuses for the overrated inge guy. After being away for months it's the same rubbish being spewed by this pests, "he lost because the east africans are doped to the gills" ???? "He is holding back so that he can prepare well for the olympics"??????

Noone have said that. He aint holding back, but WC is part of a learning process while the olympic, once every 4 years, will have the full focus in 2020.
Take out the obvious dopers and he's won 2 medals. 2 medals at a world championship aged 20. Absolutely deserves the hype over some cardboard cut out EPO riddled Kenyan.
So much time and effort wasted on jealousy for a 19 year old talented guy who ran great in his first outdoor World Championships, just because he is white, good looking, looks great and will always have no difficulty getting the woman that every man ahead of him never will.
Just because it is. And beat up on him all you like, theres nothing you can do to change it.
The more people laud him the more he will be criticized when he underperforms. Such is sports.

I don't think Tim is looking to land Norwegian chicks. But thanks for trying.

Because we should all lay prostrate before the great oracle they call 'Durianrider'. Behold as he provideth counsel from the depths of YouTube.

Ran world leads in the 5k and has beaten some solid names at 18 but 'undeserved hype'?
Yeah bro... Riiiiiight.
He's not 18. He's 19, the same age as Rhonex Kipruto, who pushed the pace in the fantastic WC 10,000 and actually medaled.
Ingrebrigtsen has indeed received a ridiculous amount of underdeserved hype, but that's typical of just about every Great White Hope that emerges, like Matthew Boling.

If you ask me wrote:
Jakob will be going home pretty elated. Only 19 and looks to have an amazing future. Even has his own cadre of haters here. That should tell you what an effect he has. Seems to be very threatening to some people.
The problem is I actually like the kids style of racing(minus clipping people) and standard he holds him self to.( I am a big alan webb fan and he seems to be more like webb right now) It is the people on this message board who make me want to see him fail. From overhyping him to somehow going out of their way to explain why they think he is clean when if he was black they'd find an equal amount of evidence to say he is a cheater somehow and yes there are red flags even for him.

El K no doubt the kind of black power supremacist that rages against black men dating white girls for 'diluting the race'.
Sorry El K...
