Ingebrigtsen wins in 13:20, Mills 2nd in 13:21, Nordas a disappointing 13:26 nowhere near medals

There were two europeans on the podium last WC. And out of the last 7 WC only two have not had an european winner, and only one have not had any europeans on the podium. "Europeans aren’t strong in that event".

He revealed in the post-race interview that he was diagnosed with
BPPV in February and has struggled a lot with it.

Compared to runners in the 1990s? Or the 2000s? Or Kiprop, Makhloufi, Dibaba, NOP, Bowerman in the 2010s?

BS. These Brits have a long history of good 800m speed without any chance against Jakob and his likes in the 1500m in a fast race. -Wightman’s and Kerr’s new found success is because of their strength work making them more complete 1500m runners / two of the all time best..!

We might see a WR in the 5k in Paris. The Africans will have to tune up the pace something insane and hope Jakob is having a bad day if they want to win. But if he holds and closes strong 12:35 could fall.

Brian Fay had a disappointing race

How have the Africans been doing versus Jakob in the 2 last WCs?

Much better than Mills yesterday?

Re Nordås: +1 He was all over the place like in the WC indoor 1500m final. He should learn from Kejelcha and Hassan how to just sit in the field over the first 8-9 laps and not wasting his energy as yesterday and before. He is, however, even with better tactics still FAR away from Jakob at least in the 5000m.

Jakob is possibly coming into shape. If he doesn´t experience any setbacks he will leave Rome in significantly better shape than in his season openers.

What a reach. Those winners were just Jakob and Farah, who is African! Who did Jakob beat yesterday that has won a 5000 medal on the world level? Nobody.

Second place behind Jakob yesterday was a 1500 bloke who had never broken 13 before this year. That tells you the competition was weak. Not impressed.

He beat Lobalu with tactics. Lobalu had to run extra and expend a lot to pass the two Spaniards in the last 400. Mills built up just enough cushion. So not only a confident race, but an effective one for Mills to beat places 3-5.

He wasn't running in a mile race. I'm sure he would have beaten Rudisha in a 5k finish, too.

Like they did in all those championship races agsinst Farah? It will be business as usual. Nobody wants to sacrifice themselves early in the race.

Jakob did the least amount of work necessary to win this, and it was like a walk in the park. In the last 3 laps he was pointing to each athlete around him like an orchestrator to make sure they didn't trip him up, never seen anything like it.

So now you’re diverting from there were no africans in that race to there were no all time greats like Farah or Bekele in that race? You’re an idiot.

I didn’t say anything of the sort. You’re an idiot if you can’t follow a basic comment trail.

Was I the only one holding my breath when Jakob had Bibic behind him for several laps? Callum Elson (aka. "The Distance Project") who got his Achilles tendon torn by Bibic spikes during European Indoor 1500m? Given Jakob's struggling autumn/winter with his achilles, I would have been nervous in his seat.

In the 80s we were hearing only heroes, greater of all times before even the mother of Jakob conceive him. I can bring the video of that runner that beat the 3000m WR in 1989 and the speaker saying "and some say the greater of all time" and the runner heading to the last 100 meters while half of his body and face grimacing from exhaustion.

Nothing to do with the superman we are seeing these last years who don't even have the body shape for the distance.

But people have short memory.

In short, the bright future of Europe is already drawn in these EUROs when I see at least half of the runners are not original land born of the continent.

Save that first, then trash the runners of the 80s with doping allegations.

Omg are you affected by Ingebrigtsen's success. Currently by far the best runner in the world, what's your f*&%€g problem with that?
