JAKOB. DFL with a lap to go

I guess if your DFL, "try to keep up" is good advice.

DFL is only meaningful at the end of the race. Try to keep up.

DLF at the bell is a really stupid strategy unless your kick easily torches everyone else. Getting through the traffic and running wide takes a ton of energy.

This has to be one of the more stupid comments.

DFL has more to do with pace than it has to do with placing. Look at his finishing time. He paced the race perfectly for his current capabilities. Where you position yourself has as much to do with the pace of those in front, as the your pace. He paced it perfectly. He ran a huge PR.

And he beat the Olympic champ, who is supposedly a great tactician.

Running in an average to slow 1500 is not the same as running in an elite competition. That's something you clearly don't understand. Keep your advice for elementary and high school sports.

Are you aware that you are arguing with the top moran of all time?

The old Norweigian record belonged to the third brother BTW.

Jakob is the third brother.

The Norway 1500 recored was held by Henrik, the first (oldest) brother.

Third doesn’t necessarily mean last. Third can mean the third of three, of which two were named.

As I can see, the field did not start the first 300m as fast as the Chinese women did when Junxia beat the old world record.

Gee these guys are slow

+1, sounds like an old person tried to keep up with trendy acronyms, but used it in an awkward way..

Well to be fair being a great tactician doesn't really work at Monaco, it works well in a 3:50 race though

Centro can run decently fast (3:30.8 pb), but relative to his accomplishment, he'd have to run at least 3:28.5 to be considered a "time trialer"

At World Indoors 2016, i liked the 4x4 team of Borlee, Borlee, Borlee, and Some Other Guy. Too bad they dropped the stick

I looked it up and there were several definitions. Am I out of date on my slang? People please update me on the current acronyms.

DFL is an initialism, not an acronym. An acronym is a pronounceable word like SEALs. An initialism is where you pronounce each letter.

Except he wasn't DFL at the bell, some other guy was, who was also DFL at the end of the race.

He used it right. What are you on about?

You're a young person who just discovered ancient track terminology. For your edification, DFL isn't an acronym.

Sister Olivia has a 53.38 PR so they could get under 3:10 with her as the 4th Borlee.

BTW Jacques their Father was an Olympic 400m man (1980) with a PR of 45.4.

He was second to last at the bell.

That's interesting and true.

Albeit, the USA has far-far more depth.

Umm, yeah, that's what DFL stands for: "dos from last."
