I'm sure Bolt's records are also "equal" to Ingebrigtsen's or anyone else's. They don't mean he could set records at longer distances. By the same token, Ingebrigtsen's best distances are shorter distances than 5k - 2k/3k - which don't mean he must be able to run an equivalent record at nearly twice the distance. It isn't his demonstrated "sweet spot". Until he does it it remains speculation.
It isn't a mathematical equation. Athletes are better over some distances than others. The longer the distance the less likely Ingebrigtsen will excel. I wouldn't bet anything on him cutting it at 10k - a Norwegian record notwithstanding.
Surely you knew this was a troll?
You can never be sure here. His reasoning isn't very different from many others here. Nonsensical.
Anyone else here see a post from Armstronglivs in a thread and instantly downvote and completely ignore it? I do it always now.. his act (whether real, fake, or both) is getting quite old and annoying lol not to mention I feel bad for the guy i.e. got nothing good going on in their life so has resorted to posting on the boards 24/7.
It's an interesting observation that having nothing good going on in life is shown by posting here.
You keep leaving out outdoor 1500 finals. He hasn't won a global title in nearly 4 years. Others have a better kick.
Great point, 32 gold medals at age 24 isn't a lot of championship wins because he didn't win 3 finals since 2021.
You left out all his school titles. You apparently don't see that WC and Olympic titles in his main distance count for more than his other silverware. He hasn't won such a title for almost the entire length of Elliott's career or Snell's. The next guy repeatedly gets the measure of him in the biggest races.

His main event is the event where he hasn't lost a single final in his entire senior career. The 1500 is a hobby for him, where he's the currently fastest active runner and has never finished lower than fourth. But we know that you think it's more embarrassing to finish fourth compared to someone like Hocker finishing 6th and 7th in global championship finals.

But the next guy hasn't won 33 races in his entire career, including school titles. I apologize for counting the gold from tomorrow.

BS. His main event is the event he races most often, which is the 1500. He's not as good at it as he thinks, or his fans.

The next guy beats him in the races that matter most, global championship outdoor 1500 finals. No golds since 2021. Didn't even place at the last Olympics. What he does in other events does NOTHING to change his results in his main event.

You may be right about that, because Jakob actually has standards and expectations he puts on himself as a professional runner. He's not like you who celebrates when Kerr "beats" Jakob by finishing second at Paris.

You don't get to say what his main event is. In the meantime, he took another gold home today, while you can't stop writing about him. Jakob wins, you lose. Nice.
