In a finishing time of 3:48. The pace of the whole race was ridiculously fast so a 28s finishing kick got the win and with it he was able to create a gap of nearly 10 meters on Sisk.
I didn't say Ruthe must be better than Jakob by 8 seconds when he matures. I am pointing out how insane that would be. But you talk as if Jakob was somehow a late developer compared to Ruthe. Jakob was a prodigy from the age of 12, who trained like an adult. Ruthe now shows he would simply destroy him as the teenage phenomenon he was. That is truly insane.
What is truly insane is the number of hours you spend on letsrun, saying the same things over and over again. That is truly insane.

Ruthe is 8 seconds faster than Ingebrigtsen was at 16. Jakob was then the world's best 16 year old. Ruthe has also just carved 5 seconds off his own best mile time in a matter of weeks.
Jakob is a 3:26x and 3:43x runner. So will Ruthe be 8 seconds faster when he, too, matures? Absolutely not. I wonder why? But if he is even 2 seconds faster how will that be explained, when no one alive is predicted to be in the realm of 3:24 and 3:41?
How do you explain Herb Elliott running 3:35 in an Olympic final in 1960 on cinders after taking the previous year largely off? And no, the answer is not doping, as you know. He was just that good.
None of the things you mention can account for 8 seconds difference between them. In fact, virtually no difference.
I knocked 15 seconds off my 5k PR on super shoes alone.
You ran 15 seconds faster due to switching to super shoes, alone? What was your total improvement and how did you know 15 seconds of it came from the shoes? That’s over one second a lap, but the before new shoes 5000m WR, has only been improved by .16 seconds.
Just watching his record 3:48.88 again Ruthe made Sisk look like he was standing still in that last lap. What’s just plain scary is Sisk has run a 1:43.48 800m and 2:15.29 1000m. Would love to know what Ruthe is capable of over 400m. He could ultimately become a champion over the 800/1500, similar to Snell or Coe. Discus
Unreal run but I do think Sam Tanner has outkicked him a few times recently

Because it was on the same course and my training hadn't changed other than being able to hit the same paces with less effort with super shoes. I'm not elite. Elites don't improve as much with super shoes but they still improve. They've said it.

You realize he had zero kick in his 3:48 race right? Simply maintained 28s with no change in pace.

My response to you was deleted. It isn't often the mods favour you. Relish it.

Genetics is the most important factor in sports. Ruthe hit the genetic lottery.
