Ingebrigtsen has four global titles - one at 1500 and three at 5000. He also has two silvers in the 1500. He has finished out of the medals on three occasions (not counting 2017). If that’s failure, I’d hate to see how you describe his contemporaries, none of whom have a comparable championship record - only Kerr and Cheruiyot are close at 1500.

For a runner that clearly believes he is the best in history - as do his fans - and appears determined to confirm that he seems to lose an awful lot on the big occasion.

That’s your opinion. I do not think he thinks he is currently the best in history. Of course he wants to be, but the way he talks about 3:26.00 and 3:43.13 shows he knows he has to improve significantly to be considered the greatest of all time.

Anyone who says he wants all the records from the 1500 to the half marathon thinks he is the best in history, because no other runner would have imagined they were capable of that. He probably thinks he is a "stable genius", too.
I think it is a HUGE mistake to predict such a stupid thing. Is he capable of doing it? Yes, and so are a dozen other runners who he has now motivated!

Hey Armstrong, I've followed you on here for years. I'm curious- can you share a little about yourself? (Without sharing any identifying information, of course)

How do you detect a fan of him?
Who has ever said he is the best in history?
He is often spoken of here in those terms. His die-hard fans consider there is nothing he isn't capable of - which includes all the wr's to the marathon and countless championship gold medals. He is one of the best runners out there currently but he also shows he has limitations.

Thing is, he's been training like an adult,since he was a child. Sooner or later,its gonna come back to bite him.

He has run 3:26.73 and 3:43.73.
Puts him 0.73 secs and 0.60 secs behind the World records.
What is your definition of signicantly?
How do his 2k, 3,k, 2 mile, and 5k Prs stack up vs. El G (WR holder in the 1500m and mile)?
Not sure why a 3000m runner would be at all interested in anything above 10k. I'm sure he will run any distance well, but I don't see the point in competing SC, 13.1 and 26.2
Get the Mile and 5000m records next summer.
I know, right? Who does Sifan Hassan think she is? An 800m runner running the marathon?
