Seriously? I am not even a Jakob fan but you guys are sounding desperate. He dominates the races he chooses ro enter, which also happen to be the most important ones, but that's not enough for you to say he dominates the 5000m.
Thank you for setting the record straight on an obvious joke
The joke is that he has yet to win in a fast race.
And why won't anyone who's faster than him make the race a fast race when he's facing the fastest field the event has seen? Why does world record holder Cheptegei think it's not even worth showing up to the start line in the biggest race in the sport because he's going to have to face Jakob?

63 minutes - in his "best distance".
You’re being obtuse. Obviously, with an even pace, he could have run 60, or 61, at the slowest. Opening with a 27:27, is not the best strategy for running a fast time.

Nothing is obvious unless it is actually achieved.

You assume that it's because he was to face Jakob. Did he say so? Why would a 12:35 runner be afraid of a 12:48 runner?

Because he knows he is not in his 2020 form and that the 12:48 runner has improved a lot since 2021.

He was good enough to win the Olympic 10k in a very fast race, whereas Ingebrigtsen has yet to show he has "improved" to run faster than 12:48. Until he does so he hasn't "improved" over 5k. He has been lucky than none of the races he won were at 12:40 or faster pace.
