Yep 1. Jakob Ingebrigtsen - 7:17.55 2. Daniel Komen - 7:20.67 3. Berihu Aregawi - 7:21.28 4. Grant Fisher - 7:22.91 (i) 5. Hicham El Geurrouj - 7:23.09 6. Cole Hocker - 7:23.14 (i)
Incredible run by both Fisher and Hocker today
Jakob ran 7:17.55 with wind and 90 degree F heat. He would have ran 7:14 today.
To date, Ingebrigtsen’s 7:17.55 is the best performance of his career. Unless you believe he had a Bob Beamon kind of day, the conditions had no effect.
Actually, real runners know that temperature is not an absolute measurement. As it applies to runners in competition the Suns altitude in the sky matters a lot. Running in the shade or low altitude is in no way comparable to running with a direct overhead Sun. You know this is true by your own experience. Go run at 2 or 3pm in afternoon in the Summer. Compare that to the same run, same temp at 7 or 8 pm in the evening. The first is hell. The second is absolutely pleasant. Or maybe you're not really a runner and can't understand the difference....
This is completely false LOL. The Silesia 3000m was at 3 PM as well, so you are literally contradicting yourself here. You truly have no idea what you are talking about. Goodbye.
You're ignorant. That big roof thingy is what kept the race in the shade.
This was like where El G went hard about 1k out to try to break Bekele and Kipchoge in paris 03, but got outkicked by a strength runner. It was why since then 1500m runners always chose to wait til the end to lead, see el g 04, lagat, farah, ingebritsen. looks like hocker didnt get the memo
Sure, some 90° conditions can be worse than other 90° conditions. Fair enough.
Perhaps you don't remember the 12:50 5000m race in Dubai a while back. The race was at 9pm, but Dubai, being near the equator has an early Sunset, therefore had no direct Sunlight (actually it was dark) at that time. If 90' was bad it would have affected them. It didn't.
Correction it was Doha, 2010. The latitude was 25°, the same as Key Largo, FL. Kipchoge beat Kipchok both ran 12:51.

He would need 3:41 ability to run 7:14.
So science doesn’t matter, wow.
How much faster does your science tell you he could have run that day. If he was capable of 7:16, or faster, he would have also won the Olympic 1500m last year.

Drafting costs someone half a second a lap in a 1500m. Jakob led gun to tape so that is almost 2 seconds. He also ran with poor pacing, costing another half seconds. That put’s him under 3:26, or around 7:15.
Ignoring the world athletics indoor scoring tables since they’re pretty useless…… if you put 7:22 as an outdoor time it converts to a 12:39 5k. Grant may not run quite that fast at BU due to fatigue/competition but wow next week could be fast
Kerr's 2 mile (8:00.67) is listed as exactly as good as Hocker's time (7:23.14) both at 1310 points. That is nonsense. Hocker's performance is definitely better.
Who cares about Kerr, he’s a no show, again. He’s busy building his legacy as the fastest guy who never races.
Cole Hocker took the lead with 600m to not because he is an Olympic Champion but because his current incredible training block gave him confidence he could sustain such an effort and win. In fact he did just what he wanted regarding effort; however, he unfortunately was up against ONE of the probably 2 guys in the world who training is going just as good.
