skip to 9:20 ish where he states that he wrote down that he wanted to win the 1500/5k double at the Paris Olympics.

Obviously failed to qualify for the 5k but you gotta love that he sets these lofty goals that absolutely no one believes he can do. This is the mindset of a gold medalist. The US is lucky to have a gifted and driven athlete like Cole Hocker!

Tough to beat him in a fast 1500 too but Cole managed to do that

Plus points for that’s the mindset doping?

You do know this guys performance is just as strange as Ruth’s 2:09 right?

If a guy can give in to temptation in the moment to falsely sell and exaggerate his own product for the soundbites and money he is definitely more likely to also give in to temptation in another moment to falsely enhance himself with drugs to also exaggerate his own performances for the acclaim, fame and money! That’s how he won 1500m gold

Yeah, no - not really.

He's a 23 year old kid. I was 23 once - exaggerating is what we did, especially given the chance.

Take it easy and put it back in your pants pal.

That applies to Ingebrigtsen, as well. He’s only 24, but people, and especially Armstronglivs, really get worked up over the things he says.

His biggest issue was all the weird harping on about god pushing him over the line afterwards.

Anyone who talks like that is almost certainly cheating.
