Jakob MF Ingebrigtsen!!! GOLD

+ 6 straight in Euro XC championships covering junior and adult.

Ex-runner, here are some exchanges with your best friend Coevett from early 2018. Would you like to comment? As far as I can see even Coevett was to cautious:

It's amazing that he is running such great times so young.
However the fact is he will get stuck at around 3:31 like his brothers. This kid isn't going to run 3:26.
The Kenyans couldn't care less about Jakob running 3:39 at 16 or whatever.
If he wants to win any medals like Fillip then he better work on his speed. Forget this half marathon ability nonsense.
Steeplechase would be a better aim for him I agree.
Jakob appears to have less of a kick than Fillip, even in junior races
he has a less pronounced turn of speed and prefers to make it a long run
for home. Fillip has a much better kick than Henrik also despite both
being quality athletes. It is what won Fillip a
bronze medal in London and the only way to medal these days.
Nobody is running 3:28 from the front for 3.75 laps like Hicham anymore...

Coevett:
On the bright side, with improved testing and Kenya,
Morocco's expulsion if they don't bring in much stricter testing, it's
likely 3:31 will become the new 3:26.
And 5000 seems to be his best
event. He improved by over a minute last year to 13:35. It's not
inconcievable is it that he could cut another 35 seconds off that in the
next 3 years is it (when he'll still only be 20)?

I don't want to do
that ridiculous calculo speculating thing but if you think Edris was only a 12:55 runner last year then you're sorely mistaken.
You need to be able to run 12:50 to be up there and have a strong kick. I don't see Jakob as being that athlete. Sorry.
Can we remember that Yomif Kejelcha ran 7:36 at 17 and he hasn't won anything outdoors at the senior level."

There was a little video of Jakob putting on his kit and I thought how thin he was through the chest area. No fat whatsoever.

"Were you happy with your positioning in the last lap, and did you intend to pass Katir as late as you did?"

"Yes"

Where are your 10 meters of gap?

Thats what I was reading in youtube from Jakob fans.

huh? grijalva was up front all race including leading with ~2 laps to go. and he came in 4th .22 seconds behind 3rd place.

Hate to say it but as a detective minded individual who snifs out cheating/lying/deception/evil/red flags, I mean, it's pretty obvious Luis G is on the sauce now.

How many ncaa medals and titles did he get? Now he's almost a world medalist and where are the runners that were beating him in the ncaa? How many trips to Kenya and Ethiopia has he made? Definitely a few. I'm rooting for the guy though. Not like any of the medalists are clean--Jakob/Kenya/Uganda give me a break that's a who's who's of track and field doping right there.

What virus did Jakob have? We still don't have an answer.

+Silver in World Indoors

+Diamond league champ and 13 wins in the league

+5 Gold and 1 Silver in European Indoor Champs

(Euro wins significant in middle distance at the mo!).

he felt well known symptoms of a flu that he gets twice a year. Why bother finding out what virus? Body needs 7-14 days to fight it back, whatever you do.

NOBODY has accomplish that AT THE AGE OF 22.

If anyone disagrees, please provide the documentation!

The 10 meters gap will come next year if he manages to stay healthy.
