yes indeed.
Translated the interview for you guys
- I'm still not quite 100 percent. There is still a slight fever and the throat is still slightly swollen, he says to NRK.
After Jakob Ingebrigtsen ran to World Championship silver in the 1,500 meters on Wednesday, the Norwegian revealed that he had been affected by illness in the build-up.
In other words, he is still not 100 percent.
- It's going reasonably well, then. He is relatively healthy, but he was not healthy enough to win the gold yesterday. It hasn't gotten worse until today and he has decided to stand, says national team doctor Ove Talsnes to the state channel.
Wow imagine that! He is sick and is still running it! And all these people disrespecting him on these message boards. This is why Letsrun will forever be garbage.
I know. These idiots forget he's the Olympic champion, for Christ. Not to mention the defending 5k WC champion.
This is what you get when you bring your girlfriend and all her friends to Budapest with you. Diseases spread. Gjert would have never allowed it. That is why Nordas will advance.
If this is actually true which I doubt, his competitors need to make it a fast heat. Force him to run close to 13 flat today, don't give him an easy ride.
The doctor is lying to make yesterday's silver less embarrassing for Jakob? 🙄
Is it contagious?
Shouldn't be running if it is
They don’t do it like that
Maybe shocking to some, but there are actually teams and athletes that tell the truth.
It's called sandbagging. Lowering expectations, so things will look great if he does well.
Or creating the excuse in advance if he doesn't do well.
Geb won a world champs and Olympic gold with severe Hagulunds syndrome. Get out of here with your sore throat
It is true. Could hear his voice today speaking to norwegian TV that he is not healthy.
Ok. I want to make a huge bet. Run with fever and run without. Lets see if you can run equal fast. Youre dumb if you think that
It was just a sore throat yesterday that he said was getting better, now its a fever, by the final, it'll be the black plague
Yup, unethical
He only has a "fever" when he loses. But not before the race.
Oh my gaaaaawd, he’s running with a fever, he’s superhuman, waaaaaaaah!
He didnt have fever when he 'lost' yesterday.
Would have won if he didnt have a fever then. Too bad he has been hanging out with his gg and didnt isolate himself… dumb
