You have the wrong idea sir, I am 'fans' of both of them. However, I just don't think ANYONE is capable of 3:24, not Jakob either. Do you really think it is realistic for him to do 1:48.8 at 800 meters and keep going for another 700 meters? Come on now.
The guy has two WR this year and ranked 8 overall athletics and you talk of overrating?
How many LRC threads reserved to Jakob compared to Girma?
50 thread vs 1
Wake up from your sleep.
Another example that just showed:
The guy Laros just run 1:44:78 and it's already an ebulitions of threads:
This guy is a prodigy
This guy is unique
Olympic champion 2032
and the Ethiopian guy he beat has the same age and with better PB: 1.44.36
and is U20 WC in the 800m
See that? keep your eyes on it.
You can be sure every time I see these kind of threads I will downvote them.
And its a fair game.
This is just whining and not arguments for a 3:24.
The record from 1998 has remained as one of the impossible records to break. The biggest difference between El Geurrouj and Ingebrigtsen is the speed in the first 400. There, El Guerrouj takes 0.8 seconds on the Norwegian. Up to 1200 meters the speed is roughly the same. While Ingebrigtsen loses about 0.5 seconds to the world record holder in the last 300 meters. And this is where the key to breaking the record lies. A little faster at the start and end, and you're there.”
I already translated this the other day.
I guess we can also say:
One can run a little bit faster at the beginning and a little bit faster at the end and we are there with Kipketer time 1:41:11 in the 800.
No not at all. I understand that your predictions was made in March 2023 before Jakob proved you COMPLETELY wrong first with the 2 mile WB and then with his PBs in the 1500m.
You estimated Jakob would peak in 2028 with a 2 mile PB which was around 10 slower than Jakob ran 3 months later. Your other predictions were of course also far off.
And that was why I pointed out that your predictions are unreliable.
Finally: Your predictions are unreliable because you more or less consciously assume that Jakob´s room for improvement is limited. And that is why your predictons will be wrong again because Jakob possibly - barring illness and injury - will be able to improve his aerobic capacity for a number of more years and consequently improve his times from 1500m and up (and even the 800m time if he ever runs that distance again).
You're trolling, I get it.
Regardless, Jakob does have a limit. We saw in his 3:27.14 that he could not overtake the 3:27.00 lights, for the record Hicham El Guerrouj has gone under 3:27 with no supershoes or pace wavelights. Shows you how monstrous El G was.
As for the Two Miles, I don't mind being wrong there given that Jakob had never raced a Two Mile before / The record is rarely run as it is. I would like to see him attack the 3000m WR. While I have been fan-boying over Jakob the past month. Without supershoes and wavelights he'd never put a dent under 3:28. He'll never match El G's prowess and he'll never learn that he could have because of his shoe tech.
I am not trolling. My predictions have been right and your - so far - VERY wrong.
I get it: You are confused. Ýou dont realize how vrong you are and neither do you understand WHY you are wrong-
He doesn´t need urgently to run the 3000m. His 2 mile WB shows he can take that WR now. He would most likely have broken the 3000m WR if he had chosen to go after it in Paris instead of the 2 mile WB.

I get that. But you have to understand that making predictions in this sport always has to be taken with a grain of salt. Your "Predictions" to me are a literal game of "Even a broken clock is right twice". People get injured, People get better, technology is introduced, etc, etc..
Chris Solinsky is a HUGE prediction buster. He had an enormous potential that I'm sure many people knew he had but was never projected. Since 2019 with INEOS and Supershoes making it's developments. Did you really predict our current state of affairs? I doubt it. I certainly did not. The American Sub-13 Club has since had 3 members and Grant Fisher is a 26:33 10,000 guy. Back in the Innocent days of 2017-2019. I would've been baffled to think the American Prodigy Grant Fisher would run a 10k faster than Zersenay Tadese or a 5k on par with Yomif Kejelcha. Just sayin' stop being a trolling incel.

Mile unlikely to ever run a serious one, but if he starts collecting records might go for it.
2000 attempt in Brussels after worlds this year, he may be tired but I believe he's in shape to do it.
3000 possibly his best distance?
2 mile already has it.
5000 he doesn't have a fast one but his head to head record against other guys who have run faster than him suggest he's overdue for a PR. Plays to his strengths with his mega threshold training and good mileage. Obviously has the speed for it.
10000 I don't think he's ever run one, this would seem the most likely to me.
To be clear, I am NOT suggesting he will get all or even ANY of these. WRs require the stars to line up just right, and even then there are just so many things that are up to chance. But I'm talking ideal conditions, let's say any time over his career. Is there anything 1500m to 10000m where he is definitively not a WR threat?
