Great job, Jakob! Hearing about a strong training session like that on September 16th is inspiring. Keep up the hard work and remember to focus on technique and recovery. Hopefully, this will translate into better performance.
How much more bad racing do we have to watch? Hocker went from leading comfortably to boxing himself in and being rightfully DQd.
Jakob seemed to think his international cache was enough to get him through.
Laros failed to capitalize on one of the weakest 1500 fields we've seen in a long, long time.
According to you, but here's reality.
Hocker was dq for a minor bump.
Jakob has a grounded view of his place in the scheme of things.
Laros was not the best runner in the race. He was the 5th best.
Hocker ran a stupid race. Class of that heat and actively chose to go from leading to sitting in 6th, boxed, on the rail
Jakob not advancing to the semis is perhaps the biggest choke in modern track history, injury or not. He was healthy enough to do a workout two days after and is still running the 5, so I doubt it was injury related. If he had as 'grounded' of a view, he wouldn't have run a terrible race
Laros had far and away the best footspeed in that field and his positioning let him get beat by objectively less talented runners. Kerr was bounced early, Habz didn't even make the final nor did Nordas. Call a spade a spade- bad racing by all three
