Hey, it happens. You lose once in a while (Kerr certainly has). Josh is a great runner. As good as Jakob? No, but still truly great. They will meet again.
As for memes; is there an adult out there who cares about them?
david ribich seem to care about them, a lot, and i’m sure he is on here
Josh K. is less arrogant than he was two years back. A little older, a but more under control. I couldn't help taking a dislike to him in 2021 when he openly mocked Oly Champ Centro. Now, Kerr has a gold and I think he handles himself decently, at least when he's talking (as opposed to posting.)
Nice set up for next year in any case. Especially if Nuguse continues to improve!
The sit and kick post was by David Ribich, the guy who spend most of 2023 running 8:50 steeple races.
I was far more entertained by George Beamish and Olli Hoare dumping on Jakob's childish 1500 semi and subsequent excuses during the latest Coffee Club pod. Beamish called Jakob's post-race excuses "bullsh*t" and Hoare wasn't much more forgiving.
What is the deal with Josh and David? I listened to their pod and David was almost in tears half the time...
this has me dying laughing bc it is so true. had to listen to that pod episode post-run bc Ribich is so cringe during it that my whole body literally tensed up trying to listen on the run lmao

you’re entertained by the jealousy of two guys who have done nothing but fail to meet all expectations? interesting group of losers
Athletes are supposed to talk trash. This whole distance stars have to be humble and nice is why track is such a lame sport for the rest of the world. Also, I love Jakob, but is the most arrogant guy and overconfident guy in the game. Let Kerr talk all the trash he wants because Jakob is quick to be a showoff anytime he pleases. I think its great for the sport to have personalities with swagger.
1] " overconfident" ?? The dude is literally the best middle distance / distance Runner on the track in the last, I don't know, 15-20 years, and is headed towards absolute all time great status [ I don't mean number one all time but I mean in the upper reaches of the all-time great conversation]. Kind of hard to be OVERconfident when you've already had that much success. It would be like calling Michael Jordan or Usain Bolt overconfident.
2] athletes are not "*supposed* to talk trash." They can and sometimes it is fun when they do. Other times it is pure cringe when they do. And there have been many many all-time great athletes who did not talk trash at all and it did not diminish them or hurt their brand at all.
