This guy is Lance Armsto g 2.0 in every sense of the word. I'm sure if a journalist asks him about PEDs he will convincingly shut him down just like Lance did.

I agree with you Armstrongliv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All that talking isn't gonna work. Kerr will still smoke Jakob's Achilles-strapped leg!!!! Once injured in the Achilles always injured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more instantaneous change in speed for Jakob, all for Kerr right now who showed shocking turn of pace in the final 50m of the British Trials 800m to nearly win it except for the falling down. Kerr is at least 1:45:00 right now for 800m and that's smoking hot form. Jakob?????
No way Jakob is running even 1:47!!!!!!!!!
Jakob's 800 M is 1:46 from about four year's ago when his mile PR was about 3:50. Post-injury he debuted with a 3:45 mile this year so...he's probably capable of running at least a 1:47...whether he can beat Kerr or not in an 800 M, IDK...

I also counted them. Astonishingly I also got 30,500 like hf.
Is the number correct, Armstronglivs?
Since you live for nothing else I'll take your word for it.

This place is incredible sometimes, saying that a guy with a PR of 1:46 can't run 1:47

Anyone could be doping, especially at the highest level. However, there is nothing about Jakob and his trajectory that stands out and strongly points to PEDs. It's sometimes pretty obvious with those that seemingly come out of nowhere (e.g. Katir) or achieve a level beyond what their standard pedigree suggests (Houlihan). Jakob was a phenom since childhood and just got a little better every year.
Sure he could have been doping since childhood, but if anyone looks at this objectively there is no way he should be in the highest suspicion category.

Yes, there is. The best clean athlete can't be better than the best doped athletes in a doped sport.

Check out these excerpts from the Norwegian press:
"The form is quite strong. I will not hide on that. I feel good and would like to train and do the job that is needed. Going forward, it's about getting in as much training as I can. Then I will do as best I can to be as well prepared as possible for Paris. Self-esteem is good, Ingebrigtsen said to TV 2 and the rest of the press in the mixed zone after taking the King's Cup on his home turf in Sandnes..
Ahead of Friday's 1500 meters, he also used a new (warmup) method. The athletics profile warmed up on a bicycle trainer.
"It's about optimization at all levels. We are so professional that it's almost a bit dangerous," Ingebrigtsen said, before he was A little more serious:
"I have a good team around me, who are sky-high demands.
In other news, the prosecutor has reversed the dismissal of a case of alleged abuse of Jakob by Gjert. When Gjert was initially charged for abusing one of his daughters, six other cases of alleged abuse were not charged. One was past the statute of limitations and five weren't charged due to the evidence or lack thereof. Some of the Ingebrigtsens appealed the dismissal of 4 of those cases and now, one of those alleged cases against Jakob has been re-instated and will further be investigated . For that to happen, they will have to re-interview Jakob and the press is wondering if this might impact his Olympic preparations or if it will happen after Paris.
I dont doubt he's in good form,but he hasnt yet ran an olympic qualifying time in the 5000,this year.

The "next guy" is anyone but him. That's what he means.
Anyone else think it would be funny if he lost to another UK athlete besides Kerr. And then someone else at the WC…

Your obsession just keeps growing. No one has ever seen you post on anything else - under your 1000 different user names.

Kerr is beating jakob. He has beaten him easily at prefontaine. Jakobs last championship medal was in 2021 tokyo. In 2022 eugen and 2023 budapest he failed. If anything, jakob is in bad form

I dun think so. Kerr is so good and speedy he nearly won the British Trials 800m except for the falling down. He was coming on strongly as you can see from the video, he literally would have won it!!! His preparations are thus going very well, at least just as well as Jakob.
Jakob is legit NOT WINNING the 1500m gold in Paris, period!!!!
Can you stop? Just for once, try writing a post with no bold, italics, or multiple exclamation marks. Nothing you say is important enough to justify any of that

Actually, he (double) medalled at both of those meets. Silver in the 15 and gold in the 5k, both times.
Also, I kind of hate the tendency of the posters on this site to bring up one or two of the most recent races as if they were some sort of perfect prediction of the future. People have good days. People have bad days. And these pro athletes, no matter how professional or consistent, are just people. Before either of the past 2 WC 1500m races, all signs pointed to Jakob winning handily. But he didn't. Or to provide a more recent example, after Hobbs stepped off the track at Pre and then lost to Holt in NYC, lots of people counted him out. Then he went and had the meet of his life at the USOTs. Previous races are often a good indicator of someone's fitness. But stop pretending like you or anyone else - including Jingy and Kerr - know what is going to happen in Paris. That's why you run the GD race
