There are plenty.

None of them make him faster than 12:48.

Have you watched his last victory?

DL is not an Olympic or WC final. He hasn't won any of the big ones in the 1500 in years. He may never again.

I feel like people cooled on his 10,000m potential after his HM, but make no mistake, he will absolutely win WC / Olympic gold at that distance.

With Cheptegei moving to the roads, I don’t see anyone who can seriously challenge him in a championship 10000m. I think he would’ve won Olympic silver this year (behind Cheptegei, who is underrated as an all-time great) if he had entered.

I don't know... If the Ethiopians get their tactics right they could run sub 26:30 in a final. I am not sure Jakob could live with that.

I think we saw the best shot of Ethiopian team tactics at the Olympics this year. The result was 26:43 and silver. I think Jakob could hang with that.

He never will. He is not and never will be good enough. This is the big leagues and Jakob cannot beat the big boys.

No informed follower of the sport was surprised that he got those two records.

Yes, they were. The records were regarded as virtually unbeatable as they were widely believed to be doped. So I guess that tells us what many have always suspected about Ingebrigtsen.

No one says he has run faster. But there are plenty of indications that he can run close to or beat the current WR.

You said "every final".

Yes they do, his 3k WR for instance. But they don't change his PR, which is the point you are trying to make.

You were wrong, as sooo often.

He hasn't lost any global 1500m chsmpionship final since. I know you never will admit to be wrong. But you were.
