When Ingebrigtsen hasn't improved his best time in 3 years, has only won slow tactical races and remains 13 seconds behind Cheptegei's best, with no record of achievement over the 10k, your arguments carry no more weight than wishful fantasies.
Again, he brings the 10000m into consideration. A distance Ingebrigtsen hasn't raced so far, who is a 1500m to 5000m runner.
Why do0esn't he compare Ingebrigtsen and Chepteei with their results here?
1500m
I: 3:26.73
C: 3:37.36
3000m
I: 7:17.55
C: 7:33.24
Our Dumbstrong hasn't any real arguments for his view, that's why he regularly brings up the 10000m (for him: 10k - he doesn't know the difference).
His reply will include: reduced to walking, 27:27, over 1 minute slower than Cheptegei, 12:48
It will not include that it's not his distance (maybe it will in the future), that Ingebrigtsen has beaten Cheptegei in all their meetings by big margins, that he hasn't raced 5000m for time so far

Maybe the races would be faster if the world record holder decided to show up for them, but last time he did he finished 9th for some reason.
One race 3 years ago. You do know their careers have moved on since then?

Yet another great examples of how unique Armys brain is, having last won a global championship in the 1500 in 2021 makes Jakob a time trialist, but Cheptegei last winning a global 5000 championship in 2021 doesn't make him a time trialist in the 5000.
That isn't how my brain works but how yours clearly doesn't. I was indicating the same arguments that dismiss Cheptegei as a "time-triallist" can be used against Ingebrigtsen in the 1500.
No, your brain doesn't work particularly well when you're trying to imply that a runner who doesn't have the world record and has never finished lower than fourth in 5 global finals since 2019 is comparable to the runner who has the world record, has raced 3 global finals since 2015 and finished 8th and 9th in two of them.
No, the time trialist is the person who has the world record in the event and has finished 9th, 8th and first in the last global finals they ran, not the person who doesn't have the world record and has finished first, second and fourth. I know you have a hard time with numbers, but you do know finishing second and fourth is better than finishing 8th and 9th, right?
Being Olympic champion at one of his specialty distances and a double world record holder over the championship distances is better than being the 5k winner who isn't near the record for that distance and has accomplished nothing over the longer distance.
Once again bringing up the 10k in a discussion about the 5k, because you yourself know how stupid it is to think placing 8, 1 and 9 since 2015 is better than placing 5, 1, 1, and 1 since 2019. I'll ask you once again out of genuine concern to seek professional help with your struggles with numbers.

Ingebrigtsen is the length of the straight slower than Cheptegei's wr. He has been so for 3 years. You won't see him close that any time soon. He needs slow races to win. Cheptegei, meanwhile, is also the 10k Olympic champion and wr holder over that distance. Overall, a better distance runner.

Your arguments are self-serving twaddle. I've long ago indicated your criteria for judging their abilities are irrelevant.

Yes, please enlighten us, what has Cheptegei accomplished in the 5000 in the last 3 years compared to Jakob?
He has a wr that Ingebrigtsen hasn't got near and will most likely never take. I'm sure Bekele thought having the wr was a significant part of his achievements and would respect the fact the Cheptegei has beaten it. Meanwhile - 20 places back on the all time list, in comes Ingebrigtsen.

And where was that speed when Cheptegei finished 9th the last time they faced each other? Why won't the world record holder make the race a fast race?

Here we go with the numbers again, the world record that Cheptegei set in 2020 wasn't 3 years ago. Please seek professional help.

Carl Lewis is a better sprinter/long jumper than Ingebrigtsen.
12 global outdoor golds for Lewis compared to 0 for Ingebrigtsen. Lewis also has the better PBs: 8.87m compared to 4.39m or 19.75 compared to 25.90. It's not really close.
What a bad athlete Ingebrigtsen is.
Maybe someone ckecks the high jump? Ingebrigtsen or Sotomayor?
His prediction: Ingebrigtsen will not set a 5000m PB anytime soon. Let's see: probably on par with almost all of his other predictions.
Chep has Olympic golds in both the 5 and 10 as well as a slew of world titles in the 10. He’s much more than just a time trial merchant. With that said, he is not beating Jakob in a tactical 5000.
You mean a slow 5k.
Tactical, slow, fast or whatever, 1500, 5k or 10k, Joshua has never beat Jakob, and he will never win against him. You can continue writing nonsenses, without which our forum would be boring.

You'll be waiting for Godot if you think Ingebrigtsen is going to beat 12:35 any time soon.

If it's a wr race I think I know who's going to win. Wavelight won't get Ingebrigtsen near 12:35.
