You never have anything constructive to contribute to any discussion here, do you? Your a one trick pony saying over and over again, HE IS DOPED! EVERYBODY IS DOPED! You turn every thread negative with your repetitive doping accusations. I got a surprise fore you. We all know PEDS are an issue in track and field. At least it is not like the old testostorone days. But we DO NOT need to hear the same line every time somebody does something great. Over and over. You are not a creative thinker, are you?
...And you all let him derail every thread he posts in by endlessly responding to him.
naw, i got him blocked, along with khamis...it's lovely...
as soon as someone responds to them, i just scroll through...again, lovely

Era defining run from Jakob. I called out the idea he said he would break all the distance records and hasn't yet - and I was foolishly wrong. A record set in stone gone. I can see him now taking down the 1500 and 5000 record in the (immediate) future.
He could take down the 5000m next week if he wanted to, and he knows it too, but he's got plenty of time for that one.
When did he start doping? When he was 12? 15?. He has been best all his life in every aspect. Why would he dope? He is not like a doper who runs slow the whole season before smashing it in the olympic or WC like the other dopers.
Jakob started straining when he learned how to walk. He was destined for this. He is rarely injured and with the tech, shoes, tracks. It can be done ofc. H EL G, the king of EPO, we all know were doping. His ups and down suggested that there was a lot off fishy going on. He had seasons when it did not work for the wholse season and then, on the WC, a week or two later he was suddenly the best by a mile.

But he has to do it. This is extremely impressive but it's really the perfect distance for him. 3k is not run in the Olympics and neither is the 2k or 2 mile. He needs the 1500 WR to have a strong legacy given his championship failures, and he could be 5k GOAT if he moved up seriously, shaves a good chunk off the WR and starts obliterating everyone consistently.
Name one 1500m runner who had a better championship resume by age 23, with an Olympic gold, 2 Worlds silvers, a ton of European gold medals and never having finished worse than 4th in his senior career.
7:17 is not bad. If he was teleported back to 1997 he would not be that far behind Daniel Komen. He wouldn't need the wave lights at least. The shoes from back then might be more tricky to run in, but I have no doubt that he could hang with Komen for 5 laps, even without all the carbon fibre springs
Read an interview with Marcin Lewandowski who was the guy on the inside of the lane screaming lap times to Jacob. Interesting qoute:
I knew he was ready for the world record, but when I saw the weather, I was very scared. It was absolutely crazy hot. I'm sure that if it was colder, he could have run two or three seconds faster, he says.
Wow!!!! How does this dude lose any championship races? My g-d he’s strong. He laid waste to the record and the best runners of the day. 1500 record is going down this year with proper pacing. He is ready.
Funny you say that about laying waste to the best runners of the day: There was a point in the last few laps where Kejelcha and Aregawi were running behind him looking on in disbelief wondering "how is this white dude running away from us? I thought we were the ones with the genetic advantage?".
Just goes to show it can be done no matter where you're from.
Sad day. Dope, shoes, and whatever else is off the charts. Record should have asterisk all over it. It’s only track though, so no one gives a crap anyway.
