A win there would do much to erase this 2nd place in the 1500.
I am pulling for him
Both Jakob and Narve will do the 5000m today (Confirmed by the Norwegian team head physician, and Narve’s coach). “ Jakob has not become any worse after the 1500m final yesterday “.
It's clear the 1500-5000 double is completely unforgiving. It requires an ALL-TIME great. See: El G, Lagat. I think Bekele could have done it too if he tried
According to Norwegian media he started to feel some soreness in the throat sunday. He felt better yesterday but not completely weel hoping he could succeed anyway.
If it is getting better from here we can hope for the sake of the competition he is fully fit again sunday. I expect him to be well enough to survive the heats today.

Not sure if Cheptegei is racing the 5k or not. He says his focus is on the marathon and he did mention in his interview that his focus was on winning the 10,000. I think he was only entered in the 5000 as a sort of contingency. Now that he won the 10k I think he might not run the 5k.
Kerr is only a second and change a part from Jakob''s PR so in a race between them both it could go either way.. Kerr had a better tactical race than Jakob yesterday, its that simple.

You can see and hear Jakobs sickness in his interview and even in his body language in the race. He was not 100%. No way a healthy Jakob loses to Kerr ever.

Hahahaha what a chump. Crybaby! Poor lil guy has himself a cold! Explain why he’d lead in 56 if he feels so poor. Because his ego has obscured reality.
Too many cry babies on these boards. Jakob is not repping our sport. He does not know how to lose.
