Agreed. Fat with a big butt. Not slim and trim like the winner of the race.

You see jealousy others see praise and worship from the other camp. And excuse making. When TC beats him pple get out a ruler to measure by how much and say never mind, it was only by half a meter. When Kiplimo beats him, suddenly coming second is a bigger achievement than coming first. It's because JI fans are very disrespectful of everyone else. No one beats him fairly it seems. Oh he is only 19. Oh he is only European. Fyi, no one is going to organize a WC or Olympics and exclude Africans or non 19 year olds because of JI. His fans power on here after another race and crown him king of everything, he can run 12:40 in 5k, has he? He was chasing a first time not the win, are two mutually exclusive? Just give other athletes their due. The season is disrupted, some people are not even running because of inability to travel, etc....and instead of balanced debate on the meets, all one gets is JI did this or that. There is a laughable YouTube video by some guys, the video headline though, you wd think JI won the race.
https://youtu.be/WxBB_9EneNMIt's as if the winner doesn't count at all.
If you are going to disrespect pple to this extent may be you can start having JI run solo at these events. 1500/3000 event coming up, only runner is JI. Then his fans can party all they want. If they don't find a way to suggest he just defeated the whole world.
The only thing I see is that certain people (and we know the type) are very disrespectful of whatever Jakob does. No one actually criticized Kiplimo or called him all kinds of names, wanted to kill him, insulted his family, etc. But you did that to Jakob. No one will forget that.
That just likely made a lot of people to stick behind Jakob even more and despise you. It's what happened with me. No one still spews constant hate against Tim or Jacob. That's your department.
I cd not care less what yr opinion of me is. Take your place in the queue and worship your king but please don't get upset at me cos u don't see me ahead or behind u in d line. I don't worship fellow men. When Jakob actually wins a race I will acknowledge it. When he gets defeated I will acknowledge that too. I am a fan of the spot, not a worshiper of JI whatever number he his of his name.

Apparently your racist mind can't seem to grasp context. No one is running 3:28 AND 7:27 in the world right now besides...JAKOB!!!
Where were you when Farah ran a 3:28 and the announcers were going crazy as if he won the race?? Where were you ???
This is the blindness and lack of situational awareness that people find inexplicable. Jakob was beaten in each of the races where he ran those times. How can you with a straight face say no one is running those times in the world besides Jakob? U wanted someone to run that exact time? Those who ran faster don't count? What's this? A religion?
AGAIN. No one is running 3:28 AND 7:27. Sear that into your sick brain. Do you need me to repeat that??? No one else besides Jakob is running a 3:28 and a 7:27. It takes a special talent to do that. No one else besides Jakob is doing that. Do you need me to repeat?
WTF? Who said that they “wanted to kill him”?
WTF is right. This was last year during the WCs. Not going to bother digging up those threads but it was mostly vitriol and violence directed at Jakob. Wanted to bash him, stab him, etc. It's pretty sick stuff.
Figures you don’t have anything to back up your claims. Starting to sound like that pathetic liar Coevett.
The only pathetic thing is you and your pathetic racist antifa friends. Why don't you go loot something?

My take is that Kiplimo was the favorite and that Jakob gave him a great fight. Kiplimo smoked Kamworor and gave Cheptegei a hell of a fight at World XC while Jakob struggled in the junior race. Kiplimo has been a top tier world class runner for much longer than Jakob.
These are times we haven't seen in over a decade. In my opinion, it is time to start talking about Komen's 3000 record eventually falling to Kiplimo, Jakob, or Cheptegei. It is highly unlikely, but this is the first time since the early 2000s that it has even been worth discussing.
Jakob has been a top tier world class runner since bowerman mile in may 2018, long before Kiplimo. Jakob didn't go for the win, but for a great time, he said in a post race interview.
These are times we haven't seen for over two decades. However, kejelcha arguably did a better race, largely solo, in windy conditions in gothenburg last year clocking 7:28 flat.
What are you talking about? Kiplimo ran 27-mid for 10k in 2015. That is world class.

Yeah, but remember that Manangoi started out as a 400m runner and has a great kick. See for example his finish in the 2015 world champs- lightning fast! If Jakob beats Cheruyiot it will probably be by creating a gap before the homestraight.
I'm not so sure. IMO, you have to beat him channelling Noah Ngeny in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. This doesn't mean you need a massive Manangoi style change of speed. It just means you draft on him close and then go to lane 2 and slowly overhaul him, as Tim pays for doing a lot of the work.
so you're saying kiplimo also needs death threats from his fans so they can then whine about it like you do with jakoby brigson? guess it's better than winning a race and being talked about like a sparring partner only there to improve jakoby or being straight ignored

He looks fat compared to the others but if you actually saw him in real life you would think he’s quite slim. His rather large posterior is muscle rather than fat I would venture to say I do not think he has any fat around the abdomen which is the critical area
Jacob’s physique is more similar to 800 m runners.
Actually, Jacob’s two brothers, Philip and Henrik have better physiques for distance running compared to Jacob I would say, but Jacob is the one with the killer mentality one can deduce. Physique is not everything distance running although it helps obviously. The other Jacob, Kiplimo, is the new phenom and he runs like a metronome.
2017... Not 2018

All this proves is that you took and passed an evening class at hurling insults I am afraid. If you came second in a race it means someone run a faster time than you. Now, I am not an educator myself, so i don't have the time or the patience to put together the visual and audio supplements/classroom environment you need to grasp such a basic principle. But put some effort into it, you will discover that Timothy Cheruiyot and Jacob Kiplimo have run faster than your boy king. Your boy king gets beaten everytime he faces the top guys in any event. Take your pick. You can go shorter or longer. Your choice. Gets beaten. He can run 1 event, or run 10 events, doesn't matter. The constant is he is always likely to be staring at someone's back when they cross the finish line.
no one in the history of the universe has been as good at doubling in 400/800 as korir, yes even aj wouldn't do such good times despite the new tracks/spikes/training methods etc. I must have missed all the celebratory threads about korir losing

Look in the mirror.
The vitriol is sowed here, with you.
I find it quite amazing the negative affects garnered by fanbois declaring "best ever" and "GOAT!" ad nauseum.
Most here would be cheering for JI and his obvious greatness if it weren't for the constant "he's better than all!" despite still being 0-11 against the actual best.
YOU bring the vitriol by incessantly declaring JI as something he isn't.

Few if any celebrate anyone losing. We are just commenting on the lack of perspective. If yr athlete loses, u accept he was beaten by a better athlete, either on the day or all round. But you can't diminish the other guy's win or elevate yr guy's loss above the other guy's win. People make predictions all the time, most accept the results of the race and analyse it from their perspective. Only one group repeatedly suggests their athlete is still better than everyone even though they didn't win. How is this determined?
