Anyone notice ingebrigtsen cut off Hocker too at around the 1375m mark. all that to come 4th.
Pacing someone for 1400m in an olympic final and not letting them inside on the rail that you have held all race is in fact not cutting someone off, it’s actually the best gift anyone has ever given cole hocker

The classic mistake Jakob made is he focused on Kerr and didn't respect the rest of the field. Kerr actually did what he needed to do and set a NR but US guys were relentless staying close to the leaders and kicking hard, that's always the best strategy.

This was so much more satisfying than when Centro won his Gold.

This was really simple - Jakob took it out way too fast for him and the once again, let the 3rd lap slip (but again - this is what happens when you run the opening lap so quickly?!?!).
Hocker just ran beautifully my god - rough splits off the coverage - he must have been 55.5 at 400, 1.51.9 at 800 (56.4) 2.47.6 (55.7) and then closed in 40.0
But the most important thing? He basically ran in lane one the whole way (apart from a little move on the back straight to pass Nuguse and TC) and didn't fight anyone.
Just sensational running, absolutely sensational.
Hocker's splits were 42.0 56.0 56.3 53.3

I have no hate for Ingebritsen. Honest championship race. I prefer this to a sit and kick 3:29 win. On another day Jakob could have gotten the WR. He may still this year. Also this may be a peak thing, not a bad race thing.

Jakob didn't let the 3rd lap slip, fwiw. it was faster than the 2nd.

ma brotha, none of these guys are clean xD... they all microdose its a very common tactic to peak for specific races.

What a fantastic race. Props to all. The podium all hit PBs and 3:27s. Can't really ask for much more than that. Hocker my man.
Jakob's a bit of a choker. He's had Kerr in his head rent-free and went all out to burn them off and ended up getting passed.
This might be the worst take of all. This was his only option of winning and it clearly still wasn't enough. Don't know what you expected him to do.
This was the only way he finished 4th by running like a JV runner. He didn’t have confidence to wait and win it in the last k…

Can we talk about how the Kenyans were DFL?

Why did Jakob front run with a 54 high opening. It was never going to happen lmao. Cole Hocker peaked and had masterful tactics!
