Looks like they are ducking him. Section lists are now posted and the brothers are not listed. Makes sense they want to train longer at altitude for this year’s season but getting in a race right now would certainly fit into their overall training this season. Bad sign if their heads have gotten so big they won’t risk losing an early season race.

What a stupid comment, completely without evidence. The Ingebrigtsens have allways wanted to compete against the best.
Jakob has been running with grown ups since the age of 14 - because it was more important to get tough competition
than winning against his own age group (As stated in "Team Ingebrigtsen" the tv-series)
This has everything to do with getting the best training at altitude, without using 3 days (travelling) on a non-important competition.

That's why he entered the U20 race at World XC. They are afraid of getting another big loss, after getting outkicked by Lewandowski in EU indoor championship and the 12th place finish in U20 World XC.
They want to make sure next races are a success which will make him mentally stronger too.

Then why did they enter the meet then withdraw?
Your point is understood, but this meet is in fact an important meet by virtue of the caliber of the entries. Some of us have the old fashioned attitude that great competitors are always ready to throw down whenever the opportunity arises.

Highly unlikely. Anyone doing that isn’t going to do it in Flagstaff.
He’s run 7:42 so those times are not out of the question...we’ll see what he does this weekend but I could very well see him running close to the collegiate record.

That's a joke, right?

Explain why it should be a joke.

Because there is a history of people being caught doping in Flagstaff, and it's not exactly an easy drive for Norwegian anti-doping authorities. I think they are clean, but I was confused by the "isn't going to do it in Flagstaff" comment that doesn't mirror reality.

You answered why the statement is serious: “Because there is a history of people being caught doping in Flagstaff, ...”
They can be tested by other agencies while in Flagstaff, not just Norwegian authorities.

Ya, the times you put up are really fast so maybe next year if Fisher goes pro and can focus on his training without his academic pursuits.
This year, I could see him running somewhere in Europe in the 3:35 range and 13:15 range. Which is very fast for a 22 year old just out of college.
I am cheering for him to do well. He has a bright future and is a great roll model for young athletes.
3:33, 13:10 are the borders of big boy territory. Fisher will be uplifted by Murphy’s pheromones in the air that blew off him as Fisher tried to run with him - that should be good for a couple of seconds improvement this season.
