Oh hi ex-runner. I thought you claimed you always posted as yourself? About as real as your claim to have gotten to the UK championships.

And what are you doper heads talking about? If this is the only 'race' between them this season and Jakob wins handily and with a fast time, then it will probably be used in the countless threads over the next 20 years as to 'who would have won in 2020?'
As for next year, Jakob will be running inside El G's WRs. Tim will probably be losing motivation already just like Rono did in 80. Hope Tim doesn't hit the bottle.
0/10 for making any contribution to this or any thread ever here, 10/10 for being a consistent doping apologist and boring troll.

0/10.
You're Norwegian and a big fan of the Ingebrigtsens, you're regular enough on these boards to know who El Keniano is and that he accuses Coevett of racism, and yet it takes one post from Coevett accusing ex-runner of being a fat bum who eats pizza and watches smut all day to sway you into agreeing with El Keniano?
0/10 ex-runner. Even you can do better than that.
Lol actually wasn't me. I must have some fans.
In reality it looks like they took offence at Coevett stating that Kenyan athletes past their prime become alcoholics like Rono. Maybe they are a Black Norwegian?
I don't need fake accounts to call Coevett racist. I've actually got bored of doing so. It's more fun just to wind him up and watch him spiral into pages of teenaged insults.

Has anyone else mentioned that the women's world skiing cross country GOAT is running a 10000m? That should be interesting. She ran one last year and came close to the Olympic qualifying time.
Interesting, but I think we’ve all tempered our expectations since Gwen Jorgensen.

Imagine if all the Norwegian skiers were distance runners. Then imagine if Norway had the same population as Kenya.
Then it wouldn’t be Norway. The Nordic countries can’t support large populations.

Kenya has ~50 million people. Still about twice as populous as all of the Nordic countries combined. It’s no surprise that Kenya has greater depth in running than a relative wasteland like Norway. But a 6000 ft handicap is more than enough to allow for a fair team competition.
This thread really devolved pretty quickly, then again, this is Letsrun.
However, this is not an official, sanctioned event. It is a race director trying to provide some entertainment to fill the vacuum of Covid related sports cancellations.
Who cares that much about what athlete 'wins' in a scenario like that. Team C seems more than happy to partake and we the fans get to enjoy it.
There will be plenty of chances for sanctioned events and racing on equal footing. That is not the focus of Bislett this year though.

Not sanctioned? Promotional materials/interviews have explicitly mentioned 300mH WB, 1000m NR, and 2000m AR attempts, to name a few. Cram is commentating. It certainly seems to be an “official, sanctioned event”, despite your assertions to the contrary.

You'll have to forgive him - he can't help himself but to lie.

The race distance of 2000 is interesting. I think that might be a bit too far for Elijah Manangoi to stay on Timmy's heels. Very much imagine if Timmy has been in shape and in form to come through in 3:52 or so at 1600 and kick it home for an impressive mark at altitude. Think Manangoi falls off and hit the 1600 at 3:56 and perhaps rallies a bit. Jakob I could see coming through in 3:54-55 and having a nice kick to just break the 4:51 AR. Filip I suspect not far behind him. Advantage Ingrebridsten for me as I'm wary of their third runner as well as a stinker by Manangoi at this stage.
2000m is too far for Elijah who used to be a sprinter. You all saw how much he lagged in that 5K in Nairobi and ended up jogging the whole thing.
I posted this video on another thread of Bernard Ouma talking about how Covid-19 lockdown had impeded training at the RAC. Explains why George is missing as he probably isn’t back training.

If Jakob had "run through the line" in Lausanne he had broken 3:30. Check the video on yuotube.
Timothy Sein posted this nice picture of their track sessions. I don't know how far behind in training the RAC boys are.

Tim talks about his rivalry with Elijah and how Covid forced them to break camp for 2 months.

That's a cool pic.
Were you making some kind of point?
^Was wondering the same.
Do we know that running the Kenyans in Nairobi is a deliberate handicap? Couldn't it simply be that they all live higher than that and a long way from the coast, that's where the TV kit is, and Mombasa is too damned hot on the equator in summer, so they are HAPPY to run in Nairobi?
The whole idea is that each team runs from where they are.

I was referring to Tim missing the Olympics when he was at his peak, just like Rono.
Everybody knows you have multiple troll accounts here.

I think you don't like to believe that it's more than just me who thinks you are an imbecile.
The people who pretend to think I'm an imbecile here are all frightened dopers or have a vested interest in dopjng.
Brojos/mods take a look at this thread and consider who is the idiot starting trouble here and ruining threads with their infantile cyber stalking.
