Well that didn’t last very long.

And by quite some margin.

Tefera is born in 1999. He is one year older than Jakob. Not a junior anymore.

Nop. Unlike swimming, that's not how it works in track.

Educate yourself.

This is from Wikipedia but you can find it on the IAAF site:

"Junior is a category of athletics in which athletes compete under the age of 20 years."

"The IAAF World U20 Championships is a biennial world championships for the sport of athletics organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations, contested by athletes in the under-20 athletics age category (19 years old or younger on 31 December in the year of the competition."

But OK, here's from the IAAF itself:

"Junior Men & Women: Any athlete of 18 or 19 years on 31st December in the year of the competition."

Tefera is 19. He is a Junior. Now the WJR holder. Sorry you're butthurt.

He is turning 20 this year, your excerpt from rules states "Junior Men & Women: Any athlete of 18 or 19 years on 31st December in the year of the competition.", therefore he is not eligible as he will be 20 on 31st of December 2019.

Alright, fair enough, not a WJR. He’ll just have to console himself with the WR which he ran at 19 years of age.

Jakob has the clean WJR.

Hahaha so many excuses!!

It will be interesting to see how all 3 Ingebrightsen's do in the PSD Bank Meeting in Dusseldorf, will Jakob try to better Tefera's mark today? Tefera is about the same age (A little older), this can be a great rivalry for the next Decade or more.

And tonight Tefera is IN THE 1500 FIELD IN DUSSELDORF AS WELL!

Wow, what a duell between him and Jakob!

Whatever happens, I am sure Jakob will surely improve his european U20 record...

but will Filip let the two youngsters beat him?

I’m really surprised to see Coevett on this thread.

Can you imagine if (17 year old) Max Burgin runs sub 1:45 this year, and (18 year old) Jakob runs sub 3:30 and sub 13:00 (and maybe wins gold in Doha)?

Whoops! None of those happened.

Morans gonna moran.
