What do you think about his chances to become the grestest distance runner in history?
I've answered it. He is currently not in contention.
I dont believe jakob will become the greatest runner ever,but he'll go down in history as one of the greats. He's won two olympic golds,and even if he gets a career ending injury,and retires tomorrow,he's already done enough.
