Gjert confirmed that he is already at 13 flat. It is just a matter of entry in the right race, and it will not hallen this season. I think he will do 12:17 in the future. He will be running 60s laps as his lactate threshold pace.
I also think he will run 3:25+ in 2024.
Jakob will NEVER run faster than 3:30 and 12:55. This is the reality.
Nice. Abandoning all reason and chose to make claims based on your own spite towards him. Just great.

Spite? Please think before your next post. Galen Rupp will end his career as a 12:58.90 5000m runner. Jakob is not going to run much faster. There is no spite involved. Centro will never break 13 or 3:30. Again, no spite involved. Educate yourself.
Are you all really comparing a 22 year old to a 17 year old??
I say 22 because Wheating had a single great season in his career when he was 22 and he has never come close to his times from that season before or after. So you're asking who is better a guy who had one incredible season when he was 22 and then faded away vs a 17 year old kid who is already very close to the times run during that one season for the 22 year old.
I think the fact that you are comparing one person's entire career to a 17 year old answers the question.

Haha. Of course Rupp is not going improve on his 5000m time - he's a marathoner now. Centro breaking 3:30 is unlikely considering that he struggled the past two seasons, but calling it never is a stretch. Jakob is 17 (not an age cheat) and ran 3:31:18. To think that he is NEVER going to break 3:30 is in fact, very unlikely to happen.
Jakob is closer to his ceiling than many of you are ostensibly capable of recognizing. Wheating had a nice career and one that Jakob might do well to match.
Admittedly it is fairly close but I am going to have to give the nod to Wheating. Wheating has the faster 1500m and 800m. Jakob is faster at 5000m. Jakob’s European titles are a bit of a joke. I also believe that Jakob will never break 3:31 as he is training so hard now. Wheating gets the vote here.

what's your address? I have a fork to send you for your humble pie
I'd have to lean toward Ingebribtsen at this point; could go either way though.
Spoken like a true survivor of WHS -- Wheating Hope Syndrome.
It's hard for people who weren't there to understand how stunning Wheating's summer was. Monaco put him way ahead of Lomong and Manzano. It was easy to think, "If he's this fast now, imagine how fast he'll be when he grows up," and to keep thinking that for a long time afterwards.
Hahaha. This has to be the worst take and prediction of all time. OP goes home devastated. Doubtful he'll ever show his embarrassed face again. Not only does Jakob already have one the top 1500 careers and one of the top 10 careers overall so far, in the 1500 Wheating has been surpassed by Wightman, Kerr, Romo, Hoare, and even Heyward. Not sure if he had a better career than Hocker and Cooper already have either.
Ok, even assuming the super spikes allowed Jakob to run faster times, that still doesn't account for demolishing the WC 5000 field and his other medals.
