It may be difficult to stomp him when Kerr is running over Jakob's back after he face-plants.
You are obsessed with Jakob face-planting. He face-planted and won the race. You face-plant here every day with your ignorant posts. But what have you won?
But it gets a reaction, doesn't it? It's always fun to puncture hero-worship.
Jakob racing is my personal reason. I dont know about everyone else. But also the fact that Kerr started it by attacking Jakobs family which Jakob despite all his trash talk has left alone in regards to Kerrs family.
What a load of nonsense. Jakob started it all by being a sore loser and failing to acknowledge or congratulate Kerr following his world champs win. Just the next guy etc. Kerr didn't attack anyone's family. Saying someone is surrounded by yes men is hardly a vicious insult on someone's family. Jakob is extremely arrogant and consistently puts down his competitors, ignores their successes and fails to acknowledge their performances. He deserves what he gets. Kerr just refuses to role over and treat him like a god like everyone else such as coffee club. Using illness excuses to diminish others performances when you lose is poor form. If you stand on the start line, no excuses.
Kerr can come across as arrogant, annoying and over the top with social media posts etc but stop pretending Jakob is a saint.
Kerr about Ingebrigtsen's super race: - I'm not worried The 1,500 meter duel between Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr is being referred to as "one of the greatest races of all time" already long before the competitors have lined up on the starting line. On Wednesday, the Briton held a press conference, where there were some inevitable questions about Ingebrigtsen. The Norwegian ran to the European record for 1500 meters in Monaco earlier in July with a time of 3:26.73. - Monaco is a fast race every year, and it was no different this year. A race a couple of weeks before the Olympics is always going to be fast, no matter where it's run, Kerr began of the super race, before issuing a warning: - I've beaten people with much faster personal bests in the past, so I'm not worried. Kerr became world champion last summer, where he relegated Ingebrigtsen to silver in the 1500 metres. The Norwegian star has become a pop artist since he and Kerr last met. It has not yet settled on the brain of the Briton. - I turned off the phone and haven't been on social media for a long time, so I don't know what you're talking about. I am focused on running fast in the 1,500 meters in the Olympics, he says of "No one does it better"
How sweet it would be if neither wins. 1. NUGUSE 2. HOCKER 3.KESSLER 4. ingebrigsten 8.kerr

I am not a fan of Jakob. You are the one wasting hours of your life posting about him. It's always fun to puncture narcissists' self-worship.

So does pulling down the pants and sh!tting in the middle of the street.

Says the guy who worships Elliott and Snell like they were gods.
If Hocker can stay within half a second of Ingebrigtsen and Kerr, and doesn't get boxed in, I think he unleashes an insane last-lap kick and blows past both of them to win at the tape.
I don't know what it is about Josh Kerr that I find so offputting but I really hope Jakob stomps him in the final.
Jakob says even more arrogant stuff and people here eat that up. Both athletes are similar.
That's just how these hopeless romantic guys are. They've fallen in love with Jakob and can't see him doing any wrong. They can't see the obvious signs of his doping, won't ever call his arrogance out. They need him in their lives to make themselves feel better.
I can’t help but find it a bit ironic that Kerr says he hasn’t checked his social media in a long time, because I feel like there’s been at least six posts from him in the last week or two talking about how he’s “working in silence” while loudly announcing it to the whole internet
I'm not sure why the US folks are so in love with Jakob more than they do Nuguse or Fisher but when it comes to Great Britain's Josh KERR they sulk and whine????
They obviously are inconsolable that Josh KERR is better than Jakob and will beat him in the final!!!!!
People need to stop acting like Kerrs kick is a magnitude better. I’m not certain it’s ANY better. He outsprinted a sick Jakob last year and this year at Pre Jakob didn’t lose a SINGLE step on him the last lap despite his first race back from injury.
You guys really need to stop with the sickness BS.

Someone is looking after his social media. I think he is really mentally in a bubble leading up to this. He is 100% focused and there is no reason to doubt it. He figured out a repeatable winning system, and he's putting everything he has into 1500 gold. Jakob's position is much more challenging as he has to look forward to pacing Kerr.

It needs to be a 329 and slower race for this to be viable.

Notice how you can’t cite anything Jakob said, because all of what you said is false.

People like Jakob because he 1) races a lot 2) has set world bests and ascended to high spots on all-time lists in marquise events 3) has accumulated 5 global medals in three years with no worse than silver (narrowly, in both cases, after doing 90% of the work). People like Jakob because even though he talks the talk, he also walks the walk.
People dislike Kerr because he rarely races, and his one global medal came in a race where the runner-up did all the work, and now he acts like he's the big dog.
The reality is that no distance runner in general and in the 1500m specifically is more accomplished and has given more to the sport than Jakob in the past 3 years, and that is reflected in how the fan base treats Jakob and Kerr respectively.
