    Only 4 men in history have run faster than what you saw today, and they are Joshua Cheptegei, and 3 of the greatest distance runners who have ever lived: Kenenisa Bekele, Haile Gebrselassie and Daniel Komen, and you want to tell us that Jakob could have won it easily?

    Neither Bekele nor Gebrselassie are in the same league as Jakob over two miles. Komen's record just got destroyed over the same distance. Pertaining to Jakob, I'm afraid that you're incorrectly assessing what hanging on for dear life means.

    What a track and field meet. Jakob Ingebrigtsen ran 3:27.95 as 8 men went sub-3:30 including Yared Nuguse in an American record time* of 3:29.02. In the men's 5000m, Yomif Kejelcha and Jacob Kiplimo both ran 12:41.73 with Kej...

    People keep commenting on his weight but I think it's because of his height. Shrink him down a bit and he would look completely normal (for a LD athlete).
