OK. I changed to the title to add the 2nd part about the feet as I don't know how this is going to work.
They are going to have a virtual race over 2k between 3 guys as sea level and 3 guys at nearly 6,000 feet? Is this a joke? Like that's not remotely fair. Maybge they are doing that because I think Filip is also going for the Norwegian record in the 1k at the meet. So is he going to do that first and then come back tired for this?
I'm sure Tim and Managoi are just happy to have some kind of competitive action.
Or likely and more importantly, happy to be getting paid for this. You posted an article the other week claiming Manangoi was having to plant beans to make ends meet.
They should be grateful to the Ingebrigtsens/Bislett organizers. I'm sure it would have been easier to organize a virtual race with three Brits, but they chose to help out cash strapped Athletics Kenya.
But if Jakob wins and there are no actual races this season, for certain it means that he is the unofficial Tokyo 2020 Olympic Champion, and I'm sure Tim will admit that.
