Which do you think was the more impressive performance - Tim at Monaco this year paced to 3:28.2, or Tim front running 3:29.2 in the heat of Doha after 2 rounds in 2019?
I'll do you one better.
Which was more impressive, Yakob being paced to 3:28.3 by Tim the Chariot himself, or Tim frontrunning 3:29.2 in the heat of Doha after 2 rounds in 2019.

and obviously those hate you say they are doping, or at best you're extremely suspicious.
Human weakness...
11th in 5000m, not great. But it was his only major 5000 - clearly he is focusing on 1500/3000
4th in Monaco? that was a PR race... what are you talking about?
7th in Tokyo? okay that was not his best.
But he has been far and away the most consistent on the DL circuit. Passant, you are being a bit selective here.

I don’t know if you purposefully left out all of his results or you just don’t know about them?
I either instance, you neglected to note the following:
Rank 1 oslo DL
Rank 1 Brussels DL
Rank 1 Padova
Rank 2 Gateshead DL
Rank 2 Doha DL
Rank 2 Eugene DL
Rank 3 Lausanne DL
3:29, 3:48, 7:28
Tremendous consistency.

Welcome to the LetsRun forum, it can only get better/worse depending on your point of view and just be friggin' grateful you haven't been Rekrunnered, etc, etc.
Diamond league is all about accruing points. Did Hassan run any DL 5000’s? Gidey didn’t.

Hassan did not officially run a Diamond League 5000. I assumed she was eligible for the 5000 in Zurich because I remembered her win in Eugene at 5000. But apparently that was a contrived attempt at the world record, and not an official Diamond League race.
Regardless, even if she had been eligible for both races I'm convinced she would have picked 1500 vs Kipyegon than 5000 vs Niyonsaba. She's basically 50/50 lifetime against Hassan. Anyone with functioning vision would understand it's hardly 50/50 likelihood vs Niyonsaba.
I have no idea how anybody could knock Stewy McSweyn. Every distance male and female needs somebody like that. There is nobody comparable at women's 1500.
I agree on McSweyn. He doesn't have the speed to be at the top with Jakob or Cheruiyot, but he's making a name for himself by running at the front with them. It's a strategy that can win him a DL against the right competition.

Its the only way he can win though. With a limited range in speed he has no plan B.
Kudos for the effort though, but the style needs to change in order to bring some more speed to table.

Well, you overuse of the word 'literally' makes you an ideal LR poster....like, literally
Jakob will only run the 1500. Wise decision.

With little relative basic speed (and no real desire to develop it, according to Bideau) , he seems to be making the best of his favorite tools. Like everyone else, he’s looking a bit tired. We are spoiled when we’re bored with a 3:33 win, as in Padua recently.
This is a Moroccan channel dedicated to Athletics technics and
3 posters in the comments give the win to Jakob in Zurich
2 posters in the comments give the win to Cheruiyot
while another predicted a record for the meeting.

Interesting. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, Katir did not look what we’ve come to expect of him in Tokyo or his recent 1500m. Perhaps he has his shoe issue squared away.
