Questioning OP is dismissing him now? I was simply analyzing the situation. I even conceded that there was a lot of circumstantial evidence(such as the sweat on the elliptical) that pointed towards an injury. I think what’s even more embarrassing is expecting an apology lmao. How arrogant can you be to ask for that.

I like how transparent Jakob is on training and injuries. Wishing him a quick recovery to full fitness again. The sport is better with him than without him
Seems with this surgery he could actually get in on the 2026 summer track season.

Yes, I don’t assume he can’t be back in August-September 2026.
He should have went for a couple more world records when he was in 7:17 shape.
You are correct. The window is closed shut and locked. We will never see Jakob in that kind of shape again. Nobody comes back from multiple achilles injuries which need surgery. Nobody. He had a great career. I actually think that he can be a great coach. It would be cool to see him start his own group and begin recruiting. He and his bros know what they are doing.
I also had surgery with Saxena. Same surgery as Rupp. I sit here 2.5 years later and and why the symptoms are reduced, it didn't "fix" me. In my case Saxena removed the calcification and haglunds but did not address the stress that caused it in the first place. He's a good mechanic, but for some like me I needed someone to guide me to fix the root causes as well.
With him but without his fanboys.Jakob is great as a distance runner, but his fanboys are straight garbage.
Jakob’s fanboys follow his lead. Jakob regularly talks trash about his competitors, and he flexes his scrawny biceps before races like a clown. I haven’t missed seeing him on the circuit one bit.

Wishing ill on others or being joyful at another's problems is not a way to go through life. Karma is a very jealous mistress, and really reflects your own personal character more than anything else.

I never wished him ill. I didn’t say I was joyful at his problems. I made a factual statement about his behavior, and I said I don’t miss seeing him on the circuit. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Nothing about your statement was factual, you also called him a clown lol
