I agree with you Armstrongliv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All that talking isn't gonna work. Kerr will still smoke Jakob's Achilles-strapped leg!!!! Once injured in the Achilles always injured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more instantaneous change in speed for Jakob, all for Kerr right now who showed shocking turn of pace in the final 50m of the British Trials 800m to nearly win it except for the falling down. Kerr is at least 1:45:00 right now for 800m and that's smoking hot form. Jakob?????
No way Jakob is running even 1:47!!!!!!!!!
Do you think the electromagnetic field generated by the electro bike influenced his warm up at all?
Usually being so professional and having a good team around an athlete involves having doctors on that team.
As far as I know Jakob uses the same doctors and support apparatus as the rest of the Norwegian team… -This implies a team work among the support apparatus that counts for quite a lot of people and transparency, I think.
As far as you know? So tell us what you know. Name the doctors show us the transparency.
It’s not out the question that a star athlete would have his own coach, massage therapists and doctors that lesser athletes don’t have access to.
But you still admit that I was correct in suggesting that he has doctors on his team.
We may not agree on transparency. No has transparency on what they have been, what supplements they take, etc.
All that talk is really working, I'm looking forward to seeing this play out in Paris. But with all the barking and little results it's hard to tell what's gonna happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Kerr and Ingebrigtsen take each other out with 100 to go and some rando taks the gold
How is it working? Has he just beaten Kerr?
Can't beat a guy who doesn't show up to compete. Nowhere to be found during the Euros and signs up for a new competition that ensures he won't have to face someone like Jakob unless Jakob wants to run the 800.

Jakob talks like someone who's running for an election. It doesn't win it for him. Only his performance on the track does and I'm sure Kerr will be waiting for him in Paris.
it is good to do like around 500m @ tempo pace or slower 45-30 mins before your race to get the legs moving after your warm-up. henrik was probalbly pacing them for that, plus it was windy and rainy and he would of blocked some of that.

Jakob is talking like someone who just jogged his way to the gold medals in the European championships while Kerr is busy flexing his nice cars on Instagram and putting up quotes about how runners have to show up to the Grand Slam Track and beat him if they want to show that they're the best in the world, a competition specifically designed to not include the best runners if they run the 5k instead of the 800.
So he's just letting everyone know he's sauced up. In 5 years it'll come out that he failed drug tests but someone covered it up. Only a fool thinks he's clean. Lot's of them are on here.

Yes, as far as I know. That doesn’t of course mean that there aren’t things I don’t know… -You are reading my post as a defence of Jakob, but it wasn’t. -Every athlete can do things in hiding we don’t know about, and even if there’s a general transparency there can in theory be huge things well hidden. But my view is that it’s fluffy to accuse athletes of doping only based on their results (unless they’re too good to be believed), and also naive to claim them to be forever clean just based on a theory about seemingly full transparency around an athlete (no such full transparency around Jakob either -I agree with you in that…). In my view athletes have to be treated as clean until facts show something else…
When it comes to teams: I think every national teams have access to doctors (last time I checked Norway’s team it was MD Ove Talsnes in a 100% long time engagement + a female professor as consultant ), massage therapists and so on. And no: Jakob hasn’t got his own coach… And very few athletes publish what supplements they are taking -but Wada gets relevant information here, I think…

A 3:27/3:43 guy can't run 1:47? Science was not your strongest subject I'm just assuming.
