You are actually insufferable. To deny that Tefera is on something is just voluntary ignorance on your part. I don’t doubt Jakob is as well but this is just beyond obvious.

Please, everyone report EVERY post like this one, so we can help to clean up the forum.

Stupid people like this should be banned, but at least we can get their posts removed, if enough are reported.

Oh yes, let’s report everything we don’t agree with. Why don’t you ban free speech while you are at it. Go reee a little harder.

Report it? Why? Opinions are ok unless YOU disagree with them? I'd up-vote ithis poster's statement if I could.

UNBELIEVABLE run, especially by a 19 year old! Dang!

Like, this is Hicham's time we're talking about here! Man!

That has GOT to be heartbreaking for Kejelcha, though. Two in a week. Yikes.

Exactly ? ? ? . He’s becoming evidently more incoherent and stupid, by the day.

The best part about continuing East African success in distance running, and the never-ending supply of young new talent, is that it’s absolutely killing the racists. The AIU recently revealed that it spends a quarter of all its world resources on Kenya alone, meaning the old trope about them ‘not being tested as much’ no longer flies. Excited for Ethiopia and their two sensational finds in Barega and Tefera. They’ll be leaving the great white hype in the dust for the next decade.

Oh, I’m in the mood for some Nina Simone.

The way I read it Kejelcha not Tefera went for the record.

Takes balls to go for something’s and state it.

Takes WAAY less balls to follow along and beat the guy.

Kejelcha has balls.

Tefera has a record.

I’d rather have balls.

If you simply assume every champion in every sport since at least the 70s is on some sort of performance enhancer as well as their rivals then it doesn’t surprise you that a 19 yr old runs a WR. Who cares? Everyone dopes. To think otherwise is very naive. Accept it and move on.

I hear Winstrol was very popular in the 80s to those driving VW Bugs......

Herb Eliot ran 3:35 on a dirt track 58 years ago when he was 22. Jim Ryun ran a 3:51 mile on a dirt track 52 years ago when he was 19. We know neither was on EPO or similar drugs b/c they did not exist. Why is it crazy that in 2019 someone can run a 3:31 1500?

Agreed that there are tons of dopers and we have no idea who is a doper. Could be Tefera, could be Kejelcha. Who knows? Increase testing, punish dopers, but enjoy the sport. If you start thinking that great performances=EPO, then why watch? Just give all the attention to the guy who finishes 10th b/c he must be the only clean runner in the race.

Meh, the 10th place guy is on something too lol.

Ya see, just don’t care, just watch and enjoy the awesomeness.

Herb Eliot was clean. 100%. Jim Ryun was clean. 100%. Kip Keino was clean. 100% There is no reason to think that Herb Eliot or Jim Ryun or Kip Keino were the superior genetic talents in human history or that they trained perfectly. .:. There is no reason to think that 3:31 is impossible without doping. The fact that a lot of people are cheating, does not mean everyone is cheating.

No matter one's take on the doping issue, good lord we must admit it is bizarre to run 3:31 with your mouth closed and then cross the line with an utterly blank expression and walk around with no trace of reaction.

Even the announcers on the broadcast were right on it: "this guy has no idea what's going on..."etc.

Reminds me of an old Komen video (can't remember which now, dammit...maybe 5k WR??) with same vibe: not breathing at all, utterly uncomprehending look on face, etc.

I remember an article where his manager admitted Komen simply did not have the mental capacity to understand pace/splits. The manager would have to tell him faster or slower to provide guidance.

If Komen and Tefera aren't doping, they're probably IQ 70 or below and truly aren't limited by mental barriers. Ignorance is bliss.

Wasn't Komen the Kenyan that either broke a world record or almost did and later said he didn't even know what the world record was? If I remember right it was his 2 mile world record?

Found the article:

"Afterward Komen admitted he had not even known what the existing world record time was going into the race. Indeed, according to those who then surrounded him, Komen had little general understanding of records and paces and distances.

“He didn’t really comprehend what he was doing,” Ratcliffe says. “He just ran as hard as he could. There was no barrier there.”

Alongside his hunger to escape poverty, Komen’s innocence as a runner might have been one of the most important psychological ingredients to his success.

“He was an uninhibited runner,” says Ricky Simms, who also helped manage Komen under Kim McDonald. “He had no fear of times or other runners.”

Gaskell recalls an incident that perfectly captures Komen’s mindset toward competition. At a running club appearance in London, Komen was asked how he dealt with pre-race nervousness.

“Daniel did not understand the question,” Gaskell recalls. “It wasn’t that he didn’t understand English. He didn’t understand what it was to be nervous before a race.”

Crazy, link to the article?

Again.

Its one thing to state you are going for a record.

Its ANOTHER thing to boldazz follow and pass someone at the end.

Tefera is without BALLS.

Sorry if brojounks and malmuffs and gaultless azzholes object.

Thank you.

Out comes the SJW to explain to us all how 3:36 from a 3:31 runner is somehow more suspicious than 3:31.03 indoors from a 3:31.63 runner outdoors. Where did I say they were clean? But you are more likely to be breathing hard after running an El Guerrouj like time of 3:31 than 3:36 to state the obvious. The other thing is the Norwegian media have been covering Jakob since he was like 10 or 12 and at 13/14 he reportedly had a VO2MAX of 72. So was he on epo back then? While I agree Norway does have a culture of blood doping in cross-country skiing (thus all sports) they do test their own athletes on their own backs. The question is whether they show local leniency to their stars? Still Ethiopian testing is ridiculous and everyone knows it.

Idiot.

This guy looks 28. Just another age cheating who stole medals from actual teenagers.
