OK, I know we always whine about announcers who know so little about distance events, but ... these guys know their distance events, but they have no insight into what is happening or the people on the track. That, with the hooting and high-pitched voices just make it like a couple of junior high kids playing at play-by-play.

I'm not really familiar with him but why do you say this?
He was once seen to callously and viciously refuse to alter his footfall that was coming down upon an ant on the sidewalk, and the poor creature was crushed mercilessly, just as he did to that 1500 field. Not a good person at all.

We beg to disagree.
Am I looking at it wrong or does he bow at the end? What a way to make an awesome performance total cringe.

I think I saw him spit on the track too. How ungrateful can one foreigner be!? Can we get a petition to ban Jakob from racing on sacred American soil?
Also He did not honor the american flag. Deport him asap

Noone at their peak form of course,but it makes one wonder what Chelimo can do this year.
Also: Where is Jakob heading?

If you listen to the commentary, I'm pretty sure some guy named Inkle Britson won the race.
I thought it was Ingel Britson?
Up the home straight he reminded me of Andre Bucher circa 2001-2002. You heard it here first, 800m may be an option.
He looks 2-3 inches taller than last year.

Even if Jakob is kicking here, he has more aerobic fitness than speed, natural development will be 1500 meter, then 5000 and maybe longer ( he did a fantastic 3000 meter hurdles last year).
And his hips are not sagging anymore! He has gained muscles in the glutes!
Last one was in reply to gaining hight.

fast or slow, Centrowitz looks like a monkey.

I’m curious, when have you ever seen Centro run fast? He only runs slow.
Here’s where we are: Centro has a gold. Why push the limits anymore? Can date Clayton Murphy’s ex and get decent money from Nike and Misc meet appearance money until 2024. Don’t get Kiprop greedy and end up like Lance. Jac-ing and fam don’t gaf. They were already on the prob doping list and their country isn’t as puritanical as the US. Until Top 25 weekly drug tests are required, we have to think the Dibabbas are legit. Would rather see Semenya than this blantant nonsense.

Case in point. Case in point. Case in point.
Chelimo is listed at 5’ 11” on Wikipedia but Jakob towered over the field. He’s about to be Ryun (talent) x Mottram (frame / ballerness).

And will end up with Webb’s championship results.
