Excellent race from Jakob. Followed the pacers to a tee, and even had a bit of speed the final 200m. Outdoor should be fun. Wonder if Cheruiyot watches this stuff, or is notified after the fact.
That was a great race. Sowinski took them out nice through 800 at 1:52. Watching Jakob break with Teferi last 2 laps was amazing, they both put a lot of distance on the field and you could tell he had it. Rare to see a 1500 where someone really goes for it and turns the screw successfully, haven't looked at the splits but it looked executed perfectly
Super controlled, well executed race. No sit and kick, just a gradually increase. It seemed like it was a controlled, calculated effort. Setting the WR but not giving it all.
Obviously , 331 was going to very breakable record today for him . Until recently they never ran the 1500 indoors except at tactical world or national events
