I understand geography and athletics better than you do. You have never heard of naturalisation. Glad to educate an arrogant buffoon like yourself.
Naturalisation doesn't enable the best Africans from African countries to compete in the European championships. That is why the Euros don't match the Olympics or WC. You haven't caught up with that.
As usual, you change your words. You said "Africans". Now you say "the best Africans". You should work on your emotional intelligence and learn to admit when you are wrong.
Unrealistic? For the by far fastest in history over both 3000m and 2 Miles it's unrealistic that he also might break the 5000m world record? For the guy who has won the last three global titles?
And don't bring your childish "12:48" again.
We can't know if he ever will break the 5000m world record or even just comes close to it - but it's definitely not unrealistic that he get's the record.
Yes, it is unrealistic. It is a bare possibility, at best.
You said the same about the 3,000m world record. You never learn.

So beating one wr means he will take the wr in another event nearly twice the distance? So how is he doing so far? And then there's the 10k and the HM, which he says he wants as well.
Talent has to be demonstrated, which is times on the track, not imagined, which is most of the posts on this thread.
We like to talk about possibilities. What are you doing here if you don't?
Most of you can't distinguish between what is possible (and what isn't, or is at least unlikely) and what has already been achieved. If you think that it is only "possible" that Ingebrigtsen night get the 5k record you and others wouldn't spend pages contesting my observation that what might be possible may also be unlikely.
Yes, that's the point, you choose which metrics are valid when they favor the runner you want to claim is better than Jakob. Both Farah and Cheptegei can't be better than Jakob if you're going to argue a faster PB but fewer titles makes Cheptegei better than Jakob and a slower PB but more titles makes Farah better than Jakob.
I choose the metrics that are relevant. It appears you can't follow that.
Yes, and ignores the metrics when they don't suit your agenda. Your argument for why Jakob isn't the current best 1500 runner is because he's a time trialist and doesn't have enough global gold medals, but you're arguing that Cheptegei is better in the 5000 with a single global gold medal despite him dropping out of the Olympics because he doesn't feel like competing in it. Does that not mean Cheptegei is a time trialist who can't win the big races when it matters?

A "bare" possibility!
All those dozens of runners who had to improve much more than Ingebrigtsen to set a WR didn't have had his achievements: by far fastest over the two closest distances, beating all the best regularly at the big champs good endurance for a 1500m/3000m guy.

Africans who have been naturalised in European countries are no longer Africans but citizens of a other country. You need to work on your intelligence.
