i doubted he was truly sick for the 1500m final but after watching that 5k, he is either an incredible faker or legit feeling off. i’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. amazing win.
Hope you give your patients the benefit of doubt too when they are sick.
Nah, he barely talked about anything other than how terrible he's (still) feeling after the race. Said he could barely enjoy winning it right now, on account of feeling sh*t.
I am not a Jakob hater but the dude is sick maybe like how a light cold is. He will be fine and there is no need to mention him feeling a bit under the weather, it feels like an excuse and also as a safeguard in cause he gets 2nd, 3rd, or 8th. He’s not sick bad enough where he is restless with sweats and a fever, and limping to the bathroom like in a flu.
did you see how he looked after crossing the line? Dude was pale like a doll, and had to kneel down on the track, in stark contrast to last year.

Did you watch last year's 5k? There was a difference with today's race, no?
Jakob will forget he was sick today all of a sudden.
You could look at him, and see that he didn’t seem right. I understand that you don’t like him, and that’s perfectly fine- everyone has different ice cream flavour favourites. Interesting to see Nordås run so poorly.

Dude someone doesn't need more than a light cold to run a few seconds slower than their PR. People need to run their best to beat the best unless they are at least two levels above the field

Sorry guys. I someone is really sick, he can't win a WC 5000m race. That's ridiculous.
In sport psychology it is called a protection excuse.
when you are a class above and it's something light like a sore throat, seems possible.
And those kind of little virus happens all the time at every level when tired/stressed/overtrained and mixing with a lot of people. Seems like an excuse yes but a true one. Not his thing to lie.

Thats just it,hes not a class above.4 ethiopians have run 12.40-12.42 this year,and i think theres been similarly fast kenyans and ugandans.They ran way outside that,today.I felt for sure they'd team up,and run a super quick pace,but they just didnt have it.
People here need to realize he ran an amazing tactical race here, even if he was under the weather. He made the right surges at the right time, remaining in lane 1 to not run any extra distance, and timed his kick perfectly. He said it himself in an interview. He knew he had to be perfect with his tactics since in his warm up he felt "horrible"
Exactly, Bro did not look like his 2023 self at all. He had more fatigue than normal and because he is so much better than anyone and because he is tough, he is the 2x world champ over 5000 meters. What Guts!!!!!
Did Jakob just do the "Jordan shrug" after winning, LMAO................... so the Jordan shrug and Jordan flu game all in one race. I love this man, he is one of the most amazing athletes on planet earth!

And when he loses to another Brit at the next 1500 WC?

He's run many races this week and it was another hot evening. How is he supposed to look? Surely not like after a diamond league race. No, he wasn't sick... cut the nonsense out.
