Gjert apologizes to wife, Tone

What? Another thread about the brothers and Gjert again? I must have commented on over a 100 posts on multiple similar threads like this already lol. We need a new subject like say "Anthropogenic RF distorts human brain capacity to empathize and love one another the way mother nature intended"?

What do ya think?

Nothing a family dinner at Chili’s can’t fix

Gjert tried this Mr CEO, but Jakob wanted olive garden. Some differences can't be overcome.

I am only half Norwegian. My father’s parents emigrated from Norway.

On one hand Gjert is saying that he wouldn't choose to do this (coaching) again if he would know that things end up like this. (Disclaimer: this interview was released today but it was recorded before Jakob's wedding, which he wasn't invited to).

On the other hand, Gjert is coaching another 1500m runner with the goal of achieving a gold medal over his own son, and also hired a lawyer to supposedly fight against the federation (who we assume are doing what Jakob has requested or feels most comfortable with).

It seems like the reconciliation or apology that Gjert is considering don't align with his current actions. Henrik, Gjert, and Tone addressed this topic on the show, that Gjert cannot be both coach and father. They've known this for a while, but now it seems to have really come to a head. We don't know if the rift was caused by little irritations that escalated, different ideas about training, frustration with such an anxious and overbearing coach, or something more sinister. What we do see, unfortunately, is a fractured family, probably experiencing a lot of pain from this. No matter what, the situation is sh!tty for all of them, especially as it plays out in Public.

Gjert is not their father.

Gjert is their coach, he dedicated his life to becoming a world class coach, and succeed.

Dad is dead, but the boys have a coach who cares for them immensely. All parties need to grasp this and move on.

TRP just dropped a BOMB.

I grew up fatherless and have no regrets since my mom was amazing. Sounds like you also grew up motherless. I would never think of disrespecting mine like you did.

When you look back on it, he stopped training various kids when they opted out. From the reality show, he told his kids you don't have to train for anything in particular, but if you want me to train you, then you have to follow everything I say to do. He was overbearing and too controlling and should have known when to give them more rein. As for what happened with his daughter, he had commented years ago on the show about how she did not respond in the same ways his sons did to his coaching and that he had to talk to her differently. He was also clearly frustrated very early on about her results (they seemed to be turning toward what would be a good American level (low 18 road 5k at 14, I think) before she quit) and she wasn't getting enough coaching attention from him, relative to her brothers and it rankled (again, from the show). Her speed was coming along well in one of the last episodes with her in it where she keeps up more or less with the guys for 200 or 400 at a time during their longer workouts.

That's the problem with people like you. You just don't see it because you guys don't know how electromagnetism works. I study electromagnetic waves and I can assure you that whatever goes around MUST COME BACK AROUND! Don't you all get it??

It's called law of attraction or 'karma'. There is nothing that Gjert can do that his kids would not respond to and the same vice versa like a mirror reflection image. The law of attraction is also thus known as the law of mirroring. Now therefore I'm not preaching rocket science here but in a mirror there are always 2 sides which are equal but opposite to one another. One cannot cause the other to happen without also being each other's consequence so that things and events in space-time always move in a circular manner and come back full circle. Always is the case. Just like a baby grows becomes adult, reproduces and dies, and the cycle continues. Get it now?

One side can never take 100% blame. It's always a combination duh!

I'm sorry hearing that but yes growing up lacking one parent is obviously disabling in many ways you will never be conscious of but trust me the laws of electromagnetism never go wrong and you will always be imbalanced in some sort of way.

HISTORY WILL SHOW YOU DO NOT HAVE JAKOB WITHOUT GJERT.

Who could've ever seen it coming that a family headed by a patriarch with more children than Ghengis Khan, that made each child train as hard as David Goggins or risk being ostracized from the family would end up having significant dysfunction?

I cannot WAIT for Season 6!

I will watch every episode untranslated, even if it's only Gjert.

I wonder if they are tempted to turn each other in for doping.

GJERTS PROBLEM WAS THAT HE COACHED TOO WELL. LIKE FRANKENSTEIN THE CREATURE GOT OUT. WHO SET THE IMPOSSIBLE GOAL OF ALL WORLD RECORDS FROM MILE TOO MARATHON? WASNT JAKOB- IT WAS GJERT AND THE BOY FOLLOWED. MUCH OF JAKOBS SUCCESS is DUE TO GJERT INCLUDING GENETICS.

Brojos, please bring Gjert Jakob Henrik and Filip on the podcast so we can repair the rift and break some more of the old doper WRs.

Dang, I love the deep cover and message discipline of the Russians and Chinese in refraining from replying to this.
