You don’t understand the downfall of Jakob in Norweigan society if he would be caught doping. It’s not like a random american runner who could go on in his life.
This would be almost as shocking as if an American hero likè Lance Armstrong was caught doping.
I'd say feasible. Overall steady progression with some ups and downs.
I'm no Jakob fan, but it's especially feasible because he's only 23. His body is just approaching its peak. Often the break that occurs after an injury is just the rest it needs to find a new level.
I don’t agree -Kerr has called for strong contra reactions after his criticism/ naming /diagnosing of a competitor (although he also has showed moderation and even gratitude in between), and Jakob has been very moderate in my view. Norwegian media f.ex tried to pull him up to do some Kerr references, but he just giggled and shifted focus. Saying that, he still has this annoying little teas about some other athletes racing too little, or not doing the work in the field. But I think that’s the least he should allow himself; he who has to hear all the bs about not having kick, being slow and (almost retardedly) only having one racing strategy…
He doesn't hear about that stuff. Letsrun isn't the professional media.
He has heard it from Cram, Coe, almost all of the British athletes, and of course at lot of others (commentators), even Norwegians (f.ex Nordås) simply because, IMO, they look for some weakness to criticise him for, given his dominance… Well, that’s just life, and I don’t even think it irritates him (or me) the least -so much fun if / when he disproves all this theories…!

His comments about "the next guy", winning "blindfolded" and now those who "fail to show up" don't count? I wonder who he could possibly be whining about?
No, they don’t count. Because these comments are pretty much Jakob’s game after Kerr started to be personal -Very well solved, IMO; not nasty at all, but humorous and even a little to the point (and he adjusts himself in between f.ex by praising Kerr’s mile run, just to show he isn’t a fanatic in his Kerr criticism ). -It’s a little sad you and some others can’t appreciate Jakob’s role in the athletic community (also sad that some don’t acknowledge Kerr’s progress, and how exciting that makes the Olympics..).

You should have watched the conclusion of the Wimbledon men's final. The respect Alcaraz and Djokovic showed each other afterwards contrasts with the infantile trash-talking and thinly-disguised sneers coming from your favourite track star to his rivals.

Jakob doesn’t seem hurt and aggressive, as an overall sum up of his attitude. But he has had some edgy comments that maybe show some underlying aggression -I think I have to admit that having done some after thoughts… But this aggression isn’t totally unfounded I believe -again: as a sum up he comes across as an interesting and mostly pleasant athlete in my eyes… And I don’t think he disrespects Kerr at all -I just think he thinks he’s a little better than him in the 1500m (meaning in about three weeks time), and that may or may not be true…
Notice how Nuguse looked like he was in a world of pain down the final stretch and Jakob looked like he was running in the park. Jakob wasn’t even breathing hard at the end. Flexed his biceps like nothing. Sus.
You have a point there, but everybody on LRC defers to my powerful RF instincts about Jakob, Josh, Cole, Grant, and whoever else.
Jakob and Josh is powerfully clean, but not so for the latter 2.
Imagine a clean Jakob and Josh putting to shame both dirty Cole and Grant???? That's a testament to the amount of degenerated natural health of American biological bodies both men and women alike from American cities. I know Josh Kerr lives and trains in America, which is why I'm also a little worried about his degeneration going on the evidence that Cole and Grant have declined so badly living and training in RF polluted American cities that they have to do PED just to still lose to Jakob and Josh himself and be outrun by them.
IF there is anything about Josh that I fear for Paris, it's that he spent too much time in energy-sapping and God-forsaken American polluted cities compared to energized, healthy and vitally strong Sandnes Norway, St Moritz Switzerland, Sierra Nevada, rural Germany, rural Netherlands, rural France, rural England, rural Scotland which has far more friendly and much lower anthropogenic RF and EMF levels on top of clean air without noxious chemical toxins.

Nice way to put it my man Armstrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His latest remarks suggest otherwise. He remains obsessed with belittling those who have beaten him.
Belittling? Dude you are the most delusional poster I have ever seen. You would be the greatest troll ever if you are not serious.
Snowflakes, listen up, why must you think everybody that censures Jakob is a troll and needs to commit suicide or have a psychiatric disease of the brain?????
Where's the logic in that???? I think it's fair comment that Jakob should be censured for sending the entire world mixed signals about Josh Kerr's manner of victory over him. One moment he seems to fete Josh and the next moment seems to backstab him and the cycle repeats endlessly like a cosine wave in Physics!!!!!!!!
Honestly, there is a really a real case to be had against Jakob for his 50/50 signals towards Josh and towards everyone else. If Jakob is really in love with Josh, he would walk up to him and give him a peck on the cheek or forehead just like how all other Europeans meet and greet one another in Europe, right????????
Cheers!

He’s part of the Kenyan Olympic team. Stop relying on rumors. Komen is clean. Americans imagine everyone is “USADA” clean… interrogate Erriyon Knighton first and then Americans tell us why Americans avoid racing outside of the US in the name of it’s too far from the US 👀💉
First of all, why would anybody put their email address as their display name???? And you are a girl as well???? Or are you disguising as a girl????
Yes but you are right, I feel that after the 2024 US Olympic trials USADA is a 'questionable organization' who no longer goes after its own American athletes like they used to do in the past with the same tenacity and tenaciousness, you feeling me Christine?????
They are more willing to give American athletes a pass, a by, a wildcard for doping as doing national duty for America to help America 'be great again in athletics'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After what I witnessed at 2024 US Olympic trials and bewildered how so many obviously dirty athletes in the men's distance events are not caught or seems to escape the scrutiny of USADA I no longer have faith and trust in NATIONAL ADs whether that be Spain, France, Japan, China, Singapore, England, Australia, India, Iceland, Canada, Russia, you feeling me lady????

jakob literally has the most steady and traceable progression of any miler ever and has been training high mileage double threshold his entire life. running a slight 0.2sec pr a month before olympic peak is 100% feasible you dingbat
Remind me again which of Sedjati's brothers was listed by WADA as likely doping?
