…anyway, it does not matter
Good for Nordas. He is now getting very close to Henrik’s PBs (1500/5000)
Jakob is doing fine without Gjert (of course)
Henrik is also doing well. New 5000m PB at 32 of age.
…Filip is a question mark

Gjert is a good man, father, and coach. but the time for him to be father AND coach had passed. I hope they are all doing well as a family, and the boys can look back on everything he did for them fondly.

yep, and she was sick and coughing and that pissed Gjert off. I agree with him on that one. They work so hard to have a virus derail their goals. He can be controlling but that's also what led to the boys success in the beginning. It's a structured, routine life, and he made that clear to the boys from what I've watched. I'm sure the partners had a say in it. From my perspective he didn't seem to care for them. I remember the Olympics episode where Jakob wins and Elizabeth is driving to the airport to get him. She comments, "Jakob did this all by himself, no one else can take this from him." It seemed geared toward Gjert. THen they show Gjert's mom saying how "without him this wouldn't be..."
If you're going to quote Elizabeth, go all the way. She interjected her self in the car by saying "Gjert can have some too" when mentioning how much percent Jakob had to do with the Olympic gold.
Filip is very up and lately down.. He has some allergies etc that sometimes mess him up... He was always my favourite and I hope he comes back to fast running...
There are reasons why juveniles can’t sign contracts. At some point the healthy desire to be a human challenges the optimization of a performance machine. This dad/coach wishes he realized that sooner.

That seems easy enough
Why did they have to fake that health issue
Why did his daughter stop training at the exact same time
The daughter angle is worth looking into. I heard Gjert was treating her poorly or in a way a coach shouldn't treat someone in the 2020s and that was that.
Had been great to see the magic Swede JS to coach them.

I remember watching those videos. What I remember most is Gjert getting upset at Jakob for having his gf over all the time. Gjert claimed it was harming Jakob's sleep which it probably was.
Why?
They could only sleep at night and have s-e-x between workouts, which is also a natural testosterone booster.
I read that the final straw had something to do with Gert giving Jakob hell over what he was eating on the day of the Olympic final. I read this on a translated article from Norway, though cannot find it now.
