I always pity countries that can be hostage to the whims of one superstar athlete. Happened with UK and Farah. The equivalent of sports banana republics.
Try it in Kenya or Ethiopia and you’re off the team.
Good observation. But also you are missing one thing which is that you didn't know that all sin and corruption of the human psyche or soul is founded or originated in the family first. Remember they used to say that 'good habits and morals start at home with mummy and daddy?' Well the same applies with Jakob right now! If there is lawlessness and anarchy at home, it's virtually a promise (via 'karma' or law of attracction) that there would be lawlessness and anarchy in every other aspect of Jakob's life including as we now hear of him having the insult to 'call the shots' with the Norwegian Athletics Federation. This insult stems in root-cause fashion to the one he insulted daddy Gjert with. And there will be further insults that Jakob is capable of in all his future speech and actions just due simply to the one he had his own daddy!
A WR for the 1500m and mile do not and cannot be broken under such circumstances. The divine heavens and laws of attraction will rebel against Jakob's bid to these 2 WRs and pull out all stops to obfuscate and throw him off any attempt.
Imagine trying to troll twice and getting ratioed both times
Pretty strong open and shut case here that final word on coaches' accreditation should NOT be in the hands of national federations.
Gjert should take this to sports arbitration court for an easy win.
Or media could do it.
Or any of the federations behind Jakobs other competitors could do it.
The brothers have stupidly enough set themselves up to have Jakob's heads messed with during the Olympics in Paris next year. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
There is of course also the possibility that Narve breaks the Norwegian Record and overtake Jakob as Norway's number one before Paris next year. He seems to have the superior kick over the last 100, but we've yet to see him place himself right behind the pacer for the first 1400. Kinda understandable, imagine if he (as a new guy on the Diamond League circuit) had placed himself ahead of Jakob and Jakob had missed the WR with a few hundreds of a second because of that. Pretty sure he played nice for all of 2023 by starting at the back of the pace. No need to do that 2024.
it is pretty clear that Jakob has made an ultimatum to the Norwegian track and field federation - he has stated that he will forego any appearances in all championships if the federation cannot guarantee that Gjert will not get accreditation
.
That is “pretty clear,” is it?
Americans are so cute with their unearned confidence.🤣

Sure it is a theory. It is based on my reading of most of what has been written about this mess in Norwegian news media, including the poor statements from representatives from the federation. There is really no sensible explanation other than Jakob has strong armed the federation.

Mhhmm, your comments appetize me. Very well balanced. My RF conditioned instincts on morality tells me so and doesn't make a mistake. I do agree with you that if the brothers had a problem with Gjert they should have kept it within the confines of family and not spill it to the federation and get them unnecessarily involved. In this way, Gjert still deserves to go to the olympics.

Oh finally you speak like a real man? I'll take that although I'm not sure if you have heard of RF English? It's a type of English only fit for RF royalty.
There are laws preventing media to out personal and sensitive information about minors.
Blatant rumor-entrenching tactic. Claim the truth is somehow unrevealable, to preserve suspicion.
There is no law that a federation has to punish someone for something that wasn't proven. Just another form of burden-shifting. Trying to make your victim prove his innocence.
