The men's 1500 final at the U20 Champs lived up to the hype!! Manangoi 1, Ingebrigtsen 2. Tefera - no medal!!

I'm not saying neither of them are age cheats (I have no actual way of knowing and judging ages is hard), but the hairline argument is worthless. Look at Zahara Jolie-Pitt, her hairline is practically at the top of her head, she's still a kid.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt is a 26-year-old cheating Ethiopian masquerading as a kid, doncha know?

Actually, I got that wrong. He's actually sired 35 children. It's no wonder the Kenyan population is doubling every 20 years and that they can't keep track of birth certificates.

I didn't know their population was doubling every two decades. We will have to ethnically cleanse a lot of white countries to accommodate this. They will only stop when they have colonized every other country.

COOP, 64 first lap, really? Like you can kick with those guys? Stupid duck.

That would be karma for what Europeans did to Africa in the 1800s.

What, do you have a Kenyan migrant problem in your country? What? Not exactly? Then shut up!

You say that like it would be a bad thing. I would love to have a bunch of Kenyans to migrate to America. Just look at what Leonard Korir and Paul Chelimo have done to make American distance running great again.

Coevett isn’t American, fortunately for Americans.

It must eat you up inside to recognize that Manangoi, an African, ran a MUCH smarter race than the Caucasian Ingebritsen. Inge ran a lot of extra distance like a fool.

Manangoi and Soget are cheats. Props to Jakob and the legit athletes. Hope to see this meet cleaned up in the future.

Sad thing is, there are probably a couple of clean 17-year-old kids in Kenya that could run 3:39 or whatever. But 25-year-old science experiments will always be chosen for this meet in their stead.

Nice hairline, Manangoi.

Soget is more than just an age cheat, he is a Rosa athlete which says it all.

Again, Soget is a high school kid who've been trying to smear for months. Shame on you! Kids don't have much choice who discovers them. Mary Cain was the toast of this site for the longest time under Salazar at the NOP. Also, you low IQ racist types are too stupid to ask yourselves what a 25-year-old be doing in high school. He's in his final year at Kirobon High School in Nakuru County. Next you'll be saying he's a teacher there.

Jakob is the real under 20 winner, as we all know these east Africans at the U20 games are at least in their mid to late 20s.

Yes and Bernard Lagat is 50 winning US Championships

The Kenya hate actually started with the birthers and Barack Obama's alleged Kenyan birth certificate. Since then Kenya been the most hated country by white American racists who, as you can see, run the show on Letsrun.

Fair's fair. This site is also full of white American racists (of the other kind) who love Kenya like no other country in the world. In fact one or two (Rashputin/Murderdub) will actually kill and even threaten genocide to protect the honour of that cheating nation, whilst other unhinged loons even go as far as identifying as ebony skinned long limbed El Kenianos, and la Kenianas at the weekends.

The age cheating probably starts at birth. Kenya is such a mess and so utterly corrupt then it would be quite easy for parents to withold their children from starting school for a couple of years or more and then take them, claiming them to be younger.

Such boys will be far ahead of their classmates (at least the non age cheat ones) in school races and get picked out by Italian coaches hanging outside the school gates. Then they get into junior championships and if they can beat their fellow Kenyan age cheats, they are selected for the Worlds and sponsorships and Diamond League invitations are waiting them. Sure beats earning $20 a week on the farm or in the factory, and they can send some of their DL meet money back to their parents who made it all possible.

But Kenyans wont do that, because easy as it is, and even though Kenya is the most corrupt nation on Earth, their athletes are noble savages, I mean natural born runners.

I believe Kiprop.

That's Elijah, genius.

It's Elijah in the front and George with him. Or? Elijah looks at least 30 there, btw.

^ I'm convinced Coevett is institutionalised or has been abandoned by his kids in a spartan old folks' home due to his crabbiness. A British empire racist curmudgeon left to his devices on the internet ... this is the online version of 'get off my lawn'.

I miss the old El Keniano. At least he was oppose to what the Rosas were doing to Kenya.

I know this comment is going to get lost amongst the discussion about age cheating but back to the race itself, it really seemed to me like Ingebrigtsen made several moves throughout the race -- jumped inside, outside, moved up, fell back... compare that to Manangoi. Manangoi basically just sat there in good position and sprinted the last hundred meters. Seems like Ingebrigtsen just ran a poor race from a tactical standpoint. Probably not much he could do about it, got a bit unlucky, but my point is that the outcome was not a foregone conclusion. Great race.
