3:33, 8:05, 13:18

an 8:05 steepler could jog 13:18

13:00-05*

Wow what a great feat. Most youngsters can't pull off feat like this, good on him.Winning the U20 championship is no easy task, especially for youngsters.

I wonder how often he's going to be show boating like this. As if we need another Ezekiel Kemboi on the steeple scene. The whole thing is dull and unoriginal.

Likely until he hits 20, and has to start the "real" races. There will be no more celebrations for young Jakob at 3:34 and 8th in (insert DL city here).

dull and unoriginal are all the cucks, which means almost everyone

Isn't celebrating and showboating the opposite of dull?

Oy, I'm remembering Maurice Greene proclaiming that he is the greatest sprinter of all time. Unoriginal, but not dull. I wish I could deaden the pain.

I think he's thinking of his bday parties, now he thinks any celebration is dull; my advice to him would be to leave his mother's basement and learn how to have some fun.

He'll become a meth head when he's older. MARK MY WORDS.

Excuse me for not finding amusement in a 16 year-old flailing around on the home stretch because he's leaps and bounds ahead of his competition

He's 16. Kids don't typically leave the house before age 19 in Norway.

These Euro champs remind me of old '50s and '60s Olympic tapes.

Slower people with gait issues fighting for a medal.

You forgot the handstand on the final water jump and the cartwheel across the finish.

Wins in 8:50 with a 60.8 last lap (inside water jump), including having to go wide in backstretch (because of Italian guy who crashed a few laps earlier), celebrating excessively in the last 60 meters and going out to lane 3 or 4 at the finish.

The kid just showed what babies US runners are. he just ran more races in 1 meet than most US runners want to run in a season and I bet he will keep on improving too

No he will drop to 3:34 over the next few years then plateau. He has yet to fill-out as an adult, when he does he will start to struggle. Sport favours/favors the late bloomer (late 20s-early 30s) because they are older/wiser & more efficient. Boredom sets in for young guys who have short attention spans.

It burns you to be born 70 years too late.
