Our sprinters are lucky that Jamaica is boycotting these games.

What is going on?!
With USADA on the team, everything is possible!

he was never going to out kick Kerr and Hocker, but you can’t lead wire to wire a 3:27 race and have enough left to out kick these guys.
Yes he can. He just went out .7 to 1.0 seconds too fast. He gets that right and he grinds the last 200 solo with everyone fighting for second.

TBH I wasn't surprised either
With the qualifier once I saw Hocker looking calm breathing on Kerr and Jacobs necks with 300m to go
Jakob getting memed but to be fair the utter insane boldness to go for the WR in the olympic final like Rudisha deserves some respect
Still I kinda fear losing to a random english speaking dude yet again is going to actually destroy his mind

Just like how the only people who can be "well spoken" are black or rural.

Hocker hugging the rail and slipping through on the left on the final straightaway is his signature, it’s crazy he wasn’t blocked. I’m not really sure what else Jakob could have done, because he was never going to out kick Kerr and Hocker, but you can’t lead wire to wire a 3:27 race and have enough left to out kick these guys. Really happy for Nuguse. Feel bad for Kessler but he should be so stoked for himself. He looked great out there.
Kessler ran a PR in an Olympic final. His first sub 3:30. Nothing to feel bad about at all. Excited to see him in the 800.
Beat me to it; Hobbs crushed it today, I'm betting he's pretty pumped about this!!

I have to admit, i am a Jakob fanboy.. And his bold move today was amazing.. But we have to talk about Kerr.. I don’t like the guy, but that kick ?? After those splits… My god! I get Mo Farah vibes

Yeah Josh got a little unlucky here - because he was on the shoulder of the guy he needed to be and kicked past the guy he needed to - except that guy (Jakob) moved just wide enough to allow Hocker to muscle through and Josh to just run that little bit extra further. That was the difference

Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen after going out hard and missing out on a medal in 1500m final:
“It was the race I expected. It all came down to how I was feeling, how much I’m able to recover from the previous races. I felt extremely good, and that’s why I pushed the pace a little too hard.
"I saw that I got a starting gap, and I was a little bit eager. Of course, it’s not what I was hoping for. I can only blame myself. It’s a difficult game, balancing your energy. It’s difficult to get 100% of that.
“It’s not as fun if I’m not able to get the results I want. But the others did a great race. This was a risk I was going to take.”

No one else got the feeling that Jakob was going for a solo WR?

With Three of the best milers in the world between 21-24 we are set up for two more Olympic cycles where we have multiple shots at medals and wins over at every global championship 1500.
This sets up Hobbs nicely. Great confidence boost while having a fire lit to get on the podium in 2028 as he sees Cole and Guse up there.
At global championships is it time for Jakob to focus on the 5k and maybe 10k at the global level and just run the 1500 at diamond league meets like Mo Farah? If he ends up not getting gold in the 5k because of this 1500 he has some serious thinking to do.

It was a good gamble, the rail almost always opens

And we're gonna get another in 2028. It's a new era
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. In 2021 you could have said "Jakob will definitely win in 2024" and that would have seemed just as reasonable.

What if Nuguse dips with his right shoulder instead of his left. does the photo go his way instead of Kerr?
