Jakob has defeated Kiplimo, WR holder in the HM, Cheptegei, WR holder in the 5k and 10k, Girma, WR holder in the 3000sc and 3000 indoor, Kejelecha WR holder in the mile indoor and forme WR holder in the 1500 indoor, all in peak shape and at 22years of age. And even Cheryuiot and Katir are better than any of Farah competitors.
I'm still waiting for you to give ONE such example for Mo Farah in his whole career.
I mean Farah was great but he would be just one among others nowadays and would be lucky to have one gold in his record when you see WR holders failing to medal.
This is where intelligence matters, no offense kid. Ask yourself why so many runners are running fast now. There are several reasons. The cream rises to the top. If you are not smart enough to recognize that Mo Farah was the cream and would be the cream today, then I cannot help you. I asked you to name a WR 1500m runner in his prime that Jakob has defeated and you change the subject. My question is as stupid as yours is. There are no WR caliber 1500m runners for Jakob to defeat. According to you this makes Jakob’s achievements at 1500m not impressive. I disagree.
"kid" is what you have to say to try to look smarter but it's actually the opposit.
Jakob defeated a guy able to solo run a 3:28 for olympic gold. Tell me one of Farah's opponent that was able of such an achievment?
I would love to provide you service, but Leviticus 19:28 clearly says, “You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.”
And that's a Bekele at 70%. Where is Farah's kick?
Are you for real? Farah had peaked at the World Championship and then this race was a half marathon so I never said Mo was a great runner at the half marathon or marathon. You misunderstood the subject matter.
Jakob really has to walk a razor's edge to win like this. He has to basically max himself every race to stay ahead of big kickers. The difference from 3:28 to 3:29 is nil. There are enough sub 3:30 guys right now that it just takes one small slip up, like we saw with Wightman
The dude is having a summer of sub330s while putting 10 meter gaps on guys the last 100m and you think his margin of error is thin? He completely in control. Dominance. He will run sub 327 when he goes after a fast one. This is like watching 2010-2012 Rudisha dominating from the front.
He "went after a fast one" already and managed to barely PR

you are the idiot one. Jakob already has 2 golds at 22. At this rate his record will be as good as Farah's one, facing, again, much more competition. At 22yo Farah was an unknown running 13:30 and unable to break 8 in the 3000 while Jakob is running 7:54 for two miles you idiot.
Two things can be true. Mo dominated, but it was a weaker field than today or right before his reign with Bekele, Kipchoge, Sihine and more. Uganda had not come up yet, Kenya went through a down period, and the Ethiopians while good were not as good as they are today. Hagos was his top rival and while a good runner, doesn’t have the ceiling of Kiplimo, Cheptegei, Aregawi, Kejelcha…go down the line.

A stupid question. Mo defeated Cheptegei in a 26:49 race in 2017 for the World Championship Gold.

You are smart enough to know about the superspikes. Hagos is past his best days. If Hagos were running in superspikes years ago he would have gone under 12:40. He only ran 12:49 today because he was wearing them.

Failed, Cheptegei was 20yo and still quite unknown. 12:59/27:10 guy before that race. Had won nothing
I knew you would say that. You are not very bright. Who cares if he was known? How stupid are you? This is not a name recognition contest. It is a race and JC ran 26:49 in a championship 10000m and Mo Farah beat him. Cheptegei was in 26:30 shape. Educate yourself.
