except klecker is MUCH better than Sowinski. Klecker is among top 10-15 guys in the world, Sowinski couldn't make a team.
Clearly you are Gen Z. Sowinski graduated high school 15 years ago. He's past his prime but he made World Teams and medaled at World Indoors a long time ago. You were probably still in middle school
Does anyone know if there is a way to watch this race in the U.S.? Since it is not a Diamond League event, it falls outside the TV window for Peacock. I have tried looking but I am not sure how I can watch the race.
I noticed the same thing. I was waiting for the LR preview where hopefully Gault would tell us how to watch, but I'm not sure we'll get one with all the NCAA action/articles
Should be available on the Diamond league YouTube channel. They post which countries have access to their live streams, so you just need a vpn. Typically I watch “from” Japan using protonvpn.
The western countries have no place in middle/long distances unless they adopt importations of African runners (first or second degree)
first degree = Kipketer, Sifan Hassan, Katir, Mo Farah
second degree = Yarud Nuguse, Athing Mu
The lack of self awareness you possess to say this on a thread about Jakob Ingebrigtsen... just hilarious. Maybe you've never heard of Jake Wightman, Josh Kerr, or Olli Hoare, either...
do we think Chelimo has any shot at the AR? Never seemed like much of a time trial type so I don’t think it’s likely but will be interesting to see
8:07? I'd say yes. When running his 27:12 in London he did it mostly solo & came off the pace from 6-8k but closed well (which makes me think even at that point he was in shape for maybe shorter distances)
a crude vdot conversion has 27:12 inline with 3:28/3:47/7:29/8:05/13:03
+ in the time he's had since the 10,000 to sharpen up + the field tonight
I wont say it's a lock, but it's on the cards for sure
Jakob will probably run 8:02. Klecker maybe 10 seconds behind at 8:12
Klecker's recent races suggest that he could run significantly faster than 8:12. I'm guessing 8:03-04 for Klecker with Jakob well clear possibly under 8:00.

so much delusion.
twice this season Klecker has averaged 62.0/lap for 3.1M. You dont think he could run 60-61's for 2M?
Not forgetting he already ran 8:11 in 2021, back when he was running 13:06

Hmm those VDOT equivalents seem off on the shorter distances (e.g., 13 people broke 13 in one race last week, whereas we haven't had 13 people have run 3:28/3:47 in the last yr). IAAF tables list 8:07 as equivalent to 12:55/26:59 and Chelimo's 27:12 as equivalent to 8:10. But that still suggests he's got a real shot.
Also why are people still arguing/making predictions about Klecker when he's not going to be in the race!
