Boy was I disappointed for him and stayed up till 3:30 am to watch this and WTF! He looked like he was having an asthma attack. I've never watched him so unprepared for a race. He should never have done this. If he were going to run a half he should have done Valencia in December when he was in the middle of his distance running block.

He embarrassed himself and I don't want to hear any more talk of 10 world records.
He is a 5k track runner, one of the best in history and he should be happy with that.

Now if this was just a bad race, even the greats have them, we remember joshua cheptegei crashing and burning in 2017 world champs cross country champs "" "" only to win in 2019 and break two world records on the track and we remember Letsenbet Gidey collapse and who can forget Cooper Teare .

So I don't want to be too hard on Jakob, but like these other athletes especially Cheptegei, Jakob must came back bigger and stronger to erase this horrible performance!

"He embarrassed himself"

Never stay up until 3:30 to watch other people run.. that's way more embarrassing

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jakob was less than 2minutes in front of the women's winner, he probably should join the women's race next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has got to be the biggest joke of the millennium seriously!!!!!!! This has never happened with Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele, Paul Tergat, Khalid Skah, even doper Mo Farah was never met with such indignity in any race of his!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am stunned you haven't been banned from Letsrun. Your takes are insufferably wrong and blatantly unfunny (assuming you are joking). Plus your use of exclamation points and CAPS is unhinged, even for this site.

Can't you just write your opinion in a normal tone of voice?

If your point was that other pros would not have engaged in such a random, one-off type event, you are kind of right. If your point was that Jakob didn't really show much respect for the distance and the competition, you could make a good argument for that (though I disagree).

Your style of writing is going to get you banned from this board. Just sayin'.
