Jakob Update Video

My main man, how short do you believe qualification periods are?

Just FYI it started Aug 1 2024 which was before the Paris 1500m final, and it ends on Aug 24 2025.

So yeah, needless to say, Jakob is qualified by time in the 1500 (I believe he ran the qualifying time on 6(!) different occasions in the qualifying window - Oly SF and F, Lusanne, Zurich, Brussels and Mile/1500 indoors WR) and he gets a wild card in the 5000 as the defending WC.

Also interesting to note that even without the qualifying time, he would get a wild card in the 1500 as the European champion, I believe.

WTF is going on with that haircut?

yeah on the right day he's kind of sexy when you can't see the little leg tattoos but the hair is just not doing it for me... Chris Chavez called it a mohawk but it's more like an edgy toupee. i guess injury leaves one feeling restless and then, whoops, a poor decision in the barber shop.

Is he pretending to be interviewed or is that a snapshot from a real interview? anyways love the content he's been posting lately.

Did you hear him speak. He spoke like how I used to, waterboarded. Listen to Josh Kerr speak in his YouTube and see the difference. One is clearly under attack from a covert weapon and one isn’t. Josh Kerr is well loved by the British govt and isn’t consumed with these weapons but Jakob isn’t that well loved in Norway and around the world you see. He riled up quite a few feathers and makes a good Guinea pig.

also pls take a closer order at jakobs 400x6 and 300x6 workout. I’m not sure what the rest is probably 90 seconds or 2mins but look how hard he is gasping for air after just 1 rep of 400 in 54.46 in zoom fly shoes? He is never going to break the 1500m WR in this attacked form. Other past greats ran similar workouts and are barely breathing after a first rep in 54, and they have 10 more to go.

I love his content too and I’m very concerned about his start of well-being now. His latest video belies a layer of anguish and poverty. He is missing that something. Even his sentences are convoluted and lack seamless logical transition with tons of run on sentences and staccato stops and starts. I don’t remember past greats like El G talking like this on YouTube? In fact I did wanted to be sure and just now searched for a El G interview video in French and I was shocked at the neurological finesse disparity between him and Jakob. I understand some French from Quebec and El G had very refined motor and logical syntaxing. It was a joy to see him enunciate and articulate with flawlessness. Jakob? His sacred energy has been carved out of him by covert weapons leaving looking and talking like a shell of himself. Someone please protect him. Do something you guys don’t just sit around and laugh at others. He represents our sport.

What does everyone make of the steeple comment? He wouldn’t be able to get in for worlds without a mark correct?

I think you're mixed up with videos of Donald.

Is you concerned for Jakob or just making up the numbers here? I make my posts count and my presence felt. Achilles do heal yes but did you know it leaves a scar? Did you know that scar can’t be ‘healed’ and so technically speaking it’s only conditionally healed and not unconditionally healed which only God can do after we are raptured to heaven if we are believers?

Perfectly speaking no Achilles do not heal back to its original state. Learn the laws of entropy in physics/science to understand what I mean.

I say he should stop doing sport completely together until the powers that be prosecute and try the American secret service in the international court and law for inhuman torture and remote murder. He already has a daughter and wife to keep him entertained and don’t need to put himself through more suffering of his unknowing.

I don't think he was implying he was going to do the steeple at worlds. In fact he added that it can be rougher on your tendons. I think he brought it up as an example of his past history of tying different events. He's suggesting that with his recent injury, he might use it as an opportunity to try something new (track 10000?).

Dun joke on such matters. Your star athlete Jakob is looking like a charred potato from DEWs and here you are being off handed? Watch for your how electromagnetically smooth El G articulate and transitioned his words with his gesticulation. That’s the smoothness needed to run the 1500m WR and why it’s never able to be broken.

I’m very shocked at Jakob’s new injury. It didn’t make sense to me. Where in the world did we saw El G getting any leg injury at 23/24/25? He was only getting started at these ages and went on to do so much greater things. On the contrary Jakob seems near his end. April May June July August wow 5 months out of racing in racing season? And why only after his testimony in Norway court room, why not after Tokyo worlds or before world indoors this year? Is the timing incidental or coincidental? Is the timing hijacked by American secret service who has a free pass to everyone’s social media webpages and content?

They do heal, but according to Google AI, 24% of achilles injuries are career ending for pro athletes, but many big time names have come back from ruptures. No runners listed below but we know Hocker came back, just don't know if it was as severe as with JI. We do know that all Ingebrigtsen brothers have lost a lot of time to injury over the years.

Comebacks:

Kobe Bryant (NBA)
Dan Marino (NFL)
Kevin Durant (NBA)
David Beckham (Soccer)
Dominique Wilkins (NBA)
Terrell Suggs (NFL)
Aaron Rodgers (NFL)
DeMarcus Cousins (NBA)
Chauncey Billups (NBA)
Richard Sherman (NFL)
Rudy Gay (NBA)
Tyrese Haliburton (NBA)

Brad Pitt - ruptured achilles while playing Achilles in Troy. Went on to win two Oscars
Russell Crowe and Judy Dench - injured achilles during filming, went on to win Oscars
Al Gore - ruptured achilles while VP, went on to win Nobel Peace prize
Isiah Thomas - career ending rupture? No, he claims it was wrist injury that did it.

Sorry I texted you the wrong link. This is the correct one on El G.

Cole Hocker was out 2023 with an Achilles injury and he came back very strong in 2024 and this year and he has added more cross training so it is definitely possible with todays medical advances to come back strong from that sort of injury!
