Jakob Ingebrigtsen blocked Timothy Cheruiyot with 400m to go

Not nice, Mr. Ingebrigtsen wrote:

That was a very low move, Mr. Jakob. There was no need for that.

buddy, go back to soccer, if you don't like the rough, tough world of track.

Yes, that might be what happens actually. Doha might be Tim's last chance to win a major championship with a healthy and fit Jakob in the race.

I honestly think Jakob will be ahead of Tim by the time Doha comes round, but for sure he could be on a different level to everybody, including Tim, by next season.

Pretty crap move to overtake then slow down like that. I don't mind tactics/blocking in athletics at all, that was just rubbish though.

I like how cheryuiot just tapped Jakob on the back twice to say "ok young one you take the lead for now then" before blasting past

JI is never going to beat TC. JI is a self important little biatch. The whole family are a bunch of low rent thugs.

Gees, no wonder you all sit on her chattering and not racing.

You fear for your life

When Tim decides to spurt past Jakob and retake the lead, both enjoy a healthy little gap on the rest of the field, yet as soon as Tim is back in front, Grice and the others come on to Jakob's shoulder, while Jakob is still staying close to Tim.

Looks more like Jakob got annoyed at Tim apparently giving up on a super fast time and then Tim decides to press the accelerator almost immediately and get back in front, and then straight away slows down again before kicking in the home straight.

All things considered it was a great time and performance from Jakob. His momentum was totally chopped up by Tim, who clearly now sees him as a close rival rather than somebody who is going to finish seconds behind him in a time trial.

Personally, I think that at Monaco any 1500m athlete who doesn't come within 1 second of their pb should have their appearance money withheld.

Exactly. Jakob picked it up to go for a fast time, while Timothy's only concern was to keep Jakob behind him. It will be interesting to see how Jakob improves over 1500m given his (reported) lack of leg speed. Then again, maybe the team is hiding his basic speed.

Anyhow, good summation of what was going on. Timothy wanted to stay in front instead of trying to overhaul Jakob from behind.

To all the Ingebrigtsen fans:

1 - Pushing and shoving are part of track racing. You all basically calling the OP a pvssy would certainly love to have a runner elbow you and step in front of you with one lap to go in a 1500m race when he had all the space in the world to move to the front without doing it. Sure ye would, ah ye tough lads.

2 - Tim didn't slow the race down on purpose from the start. The pacemakers did a crap job and he was actually the one taking the initiative to push the pace, not Jakob, not anyone else.

3 - Those of you complaining that Jakob is da man because Tim was not going for a fast time and Jakob wanted it, therefore justifying the elbowing, are the same know-it-alls who don't even understand race tactics. Jakob wanted a fast time, Tim wanted to win. Tim won, Jabkob came across as the whiny punk he is.

4 - The Ingebrigtsens are great athletes. They are also arrogant men who don't know how not to win a race and behave in a gentlemanly way.

The funniest thing is how the some Jakob haters went on and on last year how G. Managoi & Tefera were superior juniors.

Now they are veeery quiet about that.

When was Jakob a whiny punk about it? If you actually watched his post race interview, you’d know that he was pretty happy with how the race went, considering he didn’t run as fast as he wanted to.

The guy here who goes by the name Coevett actually supported Ingebrigsten by trying to explain what happened.

I was actually looking for his explanation and true to form, I found it. I would have been shocked at not finding it.

Jacob Ingebrigsten is the new Imane Merga.

Little punk thought he could outrun a Kenyan. Better think again. I also noticed he never congratulates the winner.

I didn't know that Ingebrigsten never congratulates teh winner.

The only people that I know who never congratulate the winners are the American girls and especially in the 1500, the steeplechase and the 5000m.

Most of the time, I only see them shaking hands with the Brits, Australians and perhaps other Europeans but never the Africans.

That is one thing I've noted.

There are about two or three particularly notorious American ladies who are particularly notorious at never congratulating the winner (Africans).

No one cares.

I distinctly remember El K when he was lauding George Manangoi saying something like - 'the funny thing is, George doesn't even see Jakob as a rival'.

Of course, El K might have been being unfair to George and made that up. George might not be a racist like the 'Kenyans' here dismissing any non-African as not possibly being a rival to their best. And if he is, he's been taught a lesson this year.

No one (except for you) has accused the Kenyans on here of being racist. As for you...

Anyway, to the poster who said Jakob is not a whiny punk because he gave a nice interview, that's him for the media. Look at how he acts around his peers when he doesn't win (and when he does).

The other guy's right. Talented athletes, arrogant AF.

Reminds me of the Paul McMullen days. Necessary in championship racing

As far as I know, there are only two Kenyans who regularly post here, or posted here. El K, who almost certainly wasn't Kenyan, but who just everybody agreed was racist. And Native Son, who I was replying to in this thread, who has stated in the past his desire to see Kenya free of all foreigners, particularly Ethiopians (good for nothings), Nigerians (low IQ, drug dealers, cause all the trouble) and Somalis (all Islamic terrorists). Nothing I have said compares to what he has said. The SJWs and doping apologists who are calling me racist are the types who don't see anything wrong with El K and Native Son saying those type of things about whites, or even other African races. If I was posting here under a public identity, I would have solid grounds to sue the likes of you for defamation.

Just like the others hating on Jakob and his brothers here, you hate them because they are white, and because they are disproving the black racist ideas of genetic supremacy that you hold so dear (for whatever psychological reasons).

I don't have any axe to ground with Native Son, btw. I have no problems with him being politically incorrect, although it's fair of me to point out he's gone well beyond anything I've said, particularly when he's insinuating that I'm racist. It's good to have a real Kenyan here.
