There is no way Tefera is 19, he looks older than me and I'm middle-aged
With his talent Tefera would have been very fast at age 18. Why would he want to put his career on hold for a few years so that he could lie about his age?

Jakob FTW. It will be team Ingebrigtsen vs Tefera and I think Tefera will be blocked by the Norwegians and forced to run wide. The only way he is going to win is if it's fast from the start and he runs another 3:31.
I don't know if blocking Refera is legal, but I doubt the brothers have any interest in tainting a win by Jakob.

Some here saying that Jacob will break the world junior record. Isn't Tefera's time also the World Junior Record since he is only 19?
I thought the same. Tefera definitely has the U20 record with his WR
World Junior Record wrote:
As we saw in the world Junior last year, Tefera gets confused when the pace is not fast. If he decides to follow the pacer, he will be reeled in and get outkicked.
I doubt that Tefera has made ZERO improvement in terms of race strategy over the past year. he is 3-0 in the 1500 this season with extremely good competition.

The times will not be very fast but more like 3:34.
3:34 indoors is fast as hell, what are you talking about lol
Commentator just said only 2 Ingebritsens running. Who dropped out?

Henrik, per a post in this thread.
A buddy said that Alexi Pappas is one of the pacers.
That's alright then. I'm only watching for Jakob

No. They’re classified by birth year, not birth date. Tefera turns 20 this year so he’s not U20.
You shouldn't accuse people of behavior that implies doping, which obviously in this sport is the end of an athlete's reputation.
You need some help. Please go seek it. Also, please do not post toxic material that is defamatory of hard working athletes. Disturbed people like you make this board worse.

Time and time again people break records back-to-back. I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks the record again being pushed by the brothers, especially given how he races. His fitness right now is amazing.
People break records back-to-back? Aha. Can you please give some examples for this bold statement.
Tefera will not break the record but for sure he will win the race easily.
Examples of great performances, perhaps not records:
Zapotek 1952 Olympics: 10000m gold (July 20), 5000m gold (July 24), marathon gold (July 27).
El G 2004 Olympics: 1500m gold beating Lagat (August 24), 5000m gold beating Bekele (August 28)
Flying Finn
Gebrselassie (1999 indoor champs March 5, then March 7?) 1500m/3000m
Some of these are no doubt just above the competition, but they are still great back to back performances.
lindey sharp just failed again
1500m on the track now...... Tefera FTW in 3:34 is my prediction
400 meters in 56.14
800
1:54.44
1200
all the stars right there
Jakob in good position with 400 to go...
Jakob!!!
