Jakob Ingebrigtsen 14y, 3.50.57 on 1,500

As a point of reference here is the listing of the UK Under 15 age group all time performances for 1,500m.

http://www.thepowerof10.info/rankings/rankinglist.aspx?event=1500&agegroup=U15&sex=M&alltime=y

Mo Farah = #26 in 4:06.41

Jakob Ingebritsen is therefore 9 seconds faster than any UK athlete of comparable age.

By age 16 Steve Cram's personal record was 3:47.7 so JI has two years to improve only three seconds to match Cram.

His form looks a lot more fluid and natural than Henriks. While Henrik's a good runner, his form looks somewhat mechanical. The rest of his look is right on the money though.

That was a beautiful thing to watch.

doping. if you all can't see this you guys need to go back to preschool.

someone call the FBI for a formal investigation.

also, get Hendrik under surveillance as well. check out his testicles in this pic:

that just ain't normal and he is highly suspect for juicing as well.

he is turning 15 in September.

According to the article it's an age group world record:

Dermed senket han sin egen, personlige rekord med sju (!) sekunder, og verdensrekorden for 14-åringer med nesten tre sekunder. Den lød på 3.53,4 før Ingebrigtsen løp, mens Europa-rekorden var på 3.55.

3:50.57

3:53.40 World

3.55 Europe

his father is a current runner. 3:50 miler

Yeah right.

Other posters already mentioned it is his brother.

I am not sure if it is his father or brother, but it is his relation.

Here, watch him break his own country record in the mile. He's the dude with the little pony tail at the back. Enjoy.

Hendrick fathered Jakob when he was 10. Dude is fast across the board.

Great news from Norway.

Henrik Ingebrigtsen's youngest brother Jacob (born September 2000) just ran a 1,500 in 3.50.57

This was the beginning.

Now he is olympic champion.

And more will come......

These prodigies always flame out.

Yakob is currently on a losing streak, having lost 3 consecutive championship 1500m finals since Tokyo.

Woah, is this the secret? Henrik fathered Jakob when he was 9?

Hypothetically speaking, how fast would ones threshold pace need to be in order to get a big booty nordic gf?

More did come...7:17 (a legendary mark that nobody has approached) 3:26.73, another legendary mark. Olympic Gold in the 5000m, joining El Guerrouj and Paavo Nurmi as double champions. Gold+silver twice at the world championships. Lastly, a half marathon tomorrow. Nobody has a resume at his age that is better. He is on his way to GOAT status

3:50.57? Herb has run 3:35.6 at age 22. No cheater shoes, has had only one pair. 10 seconds per lap slower tracks then. They were amateurs who had to work to survive.
This man here (age doesn't matter) might have more than one pair of shoes. 3:50 is slower than Faith and Lovelock. Will never win anything. Without being doped he would be running 5:10. Never will be on the level like Ryun.

Would anyone else agree Jacob looks smoother and more upright and more fluid at age 14 than now?

Discus?

Nice call. Also you did it when he was 22 so he was already olympic champ which makes it more funny.

Do you understand that your taste for trasgression makes you ridiculous ?
