People favoring Hocker in 1500m global race? He’s only won one global race in his career.

typical hater post, you win the lottery, someone points out you only won it once.

insane

i call ncaa wins BIG, i am not american. especially if you are a real college age kid.

and the usa trials that's big

i have ncaa commonwealth euro diamond world champs and oly, oly trials = usa only as BIG

commonwealth euro and ncaa are second tier big

i have grant fisher double bronze as big.

its pure hate to try and dwarf Hocker's accomplishments saying he as only one significant performance.

his 5th in his first OG was very significant, in this sphere.

Hocker's resume is deep with quality wins, and podium and has 3k and 1500 all time great times to boot.

and the guy is pegged to add to the total...

i got goose in this one, that is if the others double. off seeing youtube workout.

hocker might not even try to be super sharp,

its close to dead even, i'd have in the odds books

kerr at longer odds due to no data, though he seldom provides it.

In the Goose workout, got to see Ritz in action.

Ritz was a fav in running, followed him for years.

His coaching routine is very annoying saying childish garbage.

He reminds of the Al Sal demeanor, dominamatrix, annoying.

Both guys are great granted.

but why try to be ahole?

As the OP notes, Hocker has only won one major race in his life.

You go ahead and bet on him.

I'll be here to laugh at you in September.

Not. One. Runner.

Sometimes you just have to quote yourself.

Remember the video where he was telling Mary Cain to make herself puke?

Just another way of illustrating Jakob’s downward trend in global 1500m finishes. ⬇️

You’re right. Jakob should never be compared to Bekele. Bekele won a bunch of global golds in his primary event before he finally lost. Jakob won only one global gold in his primary event and then proceeded to lose 3 years in a row, including missing the podium entirely in his prime. Jakob is no Bekele.

That's a good one. 99% of people might not get the reference, 1988 Olympic 1500, never won any race of significance after that.

He's trying to sound like Ali ...................

I shook up the world

Hocker was paced for 1400 meters in the Olympic finals, that's better pacing than you're ever going to get in a Diamond League race.

Don't tell that to Geordie Beamish who is like 2 and 0 against him, last years indoor world 1500m and a couple years earlier at Millrose :)

I certainly will. I predicted Jakob to lose the last 2 championships. And I also predicted him to not medal at last year’s and I was right.

Exactly.

Hocker glazers want to say Jakob's 2021 Olympic win didn't count because he followed Tim C, but in 2024 Hocker followed Jakob and didn't lead a step of the race until the end.

Hypocritical. 🤷‍♂️

Predicting a runner "to lose" against the field is not impressive.

😆😆😆😆😆

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Likewise If you simply bet "against Kerr" every time, you would have been right three out of four times. He usually loses in global finals.

Same for Hocker.

All of these guys have won a global final EXACTLY ONCE.

HA! You are helping my point.

1. Pay attention. We are talking about global championship 1500m finals. Of which Beamish has run exactly ZERO. (The guy's lifetime OG/WC record is coming 5th in a steeple, lol.)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. Geordie Beamish is so irrelevant to this conversation that according to World Athletics he has NEVER ONCE RACED JAKOB IN AN OUTDOOR 1500. Not one. Against Jakob, who has won dozens of elite 1500s while Beamish's has one DL win on his resume.😢 (Literally the only major outdoor race he ever won.)

.

They did race ONCE in a mile: at Pre 2024, Jakob was 2nd in 3:45 and Beamish was 8th in 3:49.

😆😆😆😆😆

.

I'll say it again:
NOT A SINGLE RUNNER ALIVE HAS A WINNING RECORD AGAINST JAKOB IN GLOBAL 1500M FINALS.

.

Do better next time.

As I said, "NOT A SINGLE RUNNER ALIVE HAS A WINNING RECORD AGAINST JAKOB IN GLOBAL 1500M FINALS."

.

You are aware that WIC and Milrose are in this category, right? The entire discussion is about outdoor (real) WC/OG.

Also, Jakob HAS NEVER RACED BEAMISH IN THE MILROSE/WANAMAKER MILE.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

This guy has read this thread and somehow thinks that WIC and Milrose are "major global championships" in this conversation.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

This guy made up a lie that Beamish beat Jakob in the Milrose Wanamaker mile.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
