Henrik, Jakob and Filip Ingebrigtsen will run May 3 at Payton Jordan Invitational

This will be interesting

I'm sure that many NCAA guys will want a chance to beat Jakob

Yes, taking down a junior in high school should be the primary ambition for any good college runner.

I would LOOOOVE for that guy who did the documentary captions to do episode #3....

Jeez, could somebody maybe spell-check that linked article up there? Never seen so many mistakes!

I'm not sure anyone other than Kerr can right now.

11 NCAA guys have gone faster this year than Jakob's PB. However, he is probably faster this year than he was last year. I think that there are still 5 or 6 NCAA guys that are faster than Jakob however.

Smuggy-man funny.

Actually, Jakob has marked himself with his world class talent as an athlete, regardless of age, as a someone NCAA stars would love a shot at. Some are only a year or two removed from high school themselves plus the reality is, the kid has been doing training way beyond typical NCAA training his whole life. He is certainly years beyond the current crop of NCAA stars training-wise, even the Oregon guys.

He did, both episode 3 and 4. Seems like it went under the radar and that might be why he hasn’t done more.

Are we still looking the other way about Henrik's alleged doping?

Weren't entry lists for Payton Jordan supposed to be posted today?

What alleged doping are you referring to? Was there an article or earmark for a suspicious app that I missed?

I hadn’t heard anything of the sort either, but a google search turned this up:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/antidopingworld.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/leaked-leak-henrik-ingebrigtsen-has-been-doping-suspect-by-the-iaaf/amp/

This is from the article. So it clearly seems he is getting the different blood values by doing high altitude training for a period.

It's going to draw the attention of antidoping but it is allowed. So no real issue there.

“We do not have the opportunity to comment on specific practitioners,” says information adviser Lars Anders Vestad from Antidoping Norway.

MO FARAH IS ALSO ON THE LIST.

The overview, which has leaked out, but which is not verified as true by IAAF, also says the British star Mo Farrah is on this list.

Another form, also from spring 2016, seems to show how the IAAF doping hunters plan to follow up with testing of the suspects. There is the following remark after Farrah “Now flag as normal after the last test”.

In the same column, Henrik Ingebrigtsen scores “2” on a scale of 1 to 3, on how high he is prioritized by doping hunters.

“We have used height altitude training systematically for many, many years. There are just high blood values ​​we are looking for. When you accomplishes this, you become suspicious. This is especial”, says Gjert Ingebrigtsen to VG.

– In the blood pass, do you look at variations in blood values, not just on high blood values?

“His fluctuations are not so huge, but he is equally high. When measuring over 17 in hemoglobin, please call the alarm, because there are not many that measure. This is probably genetic, since I have also measured over 17 in hemoglobin”, says Gjert Ingebrigtsen.
