NBC Announcer - "Kerr is out of it..." Kaboom, he wins the heat

If Jakob is thinking of getting into a contest of quien es mas macho, by trying to prove that he can win a sprint finish in a slow race, he should reconsider. With Stewy, Jakob, and Tim in the field, I highly doubt that will happen anyway. I predict 1:52-53 at the 800m, and then the key will be a 56-57 on the third lap, which will kill off much of the field, getting them to 1200m in 2:48-2:49, setting up Jakob, Tim, Kerr, and Kipsang for another 3:28-29 finish. Conditions in Oregon should be good for a fast 1500m.

Jesus. It was obvious on the broadcast replay that Ingebrigtsen was cruising in the last 80m, checking the field every couple seconds and merely insuring he held onto an auto-qualifier. This quote reads as borderline delusional from Kerr.

Yes, it's hard to imagine he honestly would believe this if he rewatched the footage. Tim and Jakob are perceptibly going at 80% and monitoring if they have to go any harder to maintain their position.
