What paper are you talking about? This isn't rocket science here. Does your mum and dad not tell you that if you drink, womanize, smoke, weed, and gamble you are doing damage to the exact physical body of yours. Would you rather trust the increasingly captured I(corrupted) scientific institutions around the world or your mum and dad? That's the spirit of Gjert Ingebrigsten right here, better than any 'paper' you can ever imagine.
If you need a 'paper' to tell you that you will reap bad things if you sow bad things, you seriously need some big help. I'm saying all the right things here, ask anybody around the world they will all agree with me, except the people on letsrun.com for some strange reason.....
It's already changing, all the pre-mature intimacy between them has since caused a sagging right shoulder in his biomechanical form and slightly different foot strike compared to Tokyo 2021 and before. He just doesn't run the same under Gjert which just means Gjert knew the importance of singlehood in bringing out the best of a runner. Come on EL G was single all the way up to 29 years old until he literally married the woman the same day he met her with no prior intimacy at all. He immediately caught asthma from (her) after giving her a baby, and needed a TUE for asthma ADVAIR just to win 1500m and 5000m in Athens 2004. Clearly, even EL G deteriorated and would have lost raw speed and speed endurance without ADVAIR.
He retired right after winning both the 1500 and the 5k at the OG at the age of 29
Lowest IQ but highest EQ of all time. Try sleeping around a bunch of whores every week and see if you break the WR for the mile or 1500m. You can get the best nutrition, best training, best PEDs but if you are sleep around you aren't even running break 4 in the mile.
For some reason, the mile and 1500m WR by EL G are worth so much higher than his previous 2k record making the latter 'soft' I feel. I know everybody feels the same as El G's record don't get easily broken by anybody just like that. There is a case to be had that EL G's wasn't running at full capacity for his 2000m WR since Jakob broke it easily but couldn't get the mile or the 1500m.
I don't believe the performance is legit (800 PR is 1:46.44, this is 1:53.25 pace per 800) but it's a great time
His 800 PR wasn’t set this year, please use your common sense.
I'd even go so far as to suggest that given his 3:27.14 1500m earlier this summer and his 5k ability relative to El Guerrouj, Jakob could probably close a 1500m in pretty damn close to his current 800m PB (which was set during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020).
I mean, I guess? Wow, he now has the WR in an event that almost no one runs or cares about anymore. LMK when he breaks the real record, 3:26.00 by El Guerrouj for the 1500m. Also, LMK when he can win a World Champs in the 1500m without pacers or pace lights. Dude's pretty arrogant given his times in unpaced 1500m races. He ran 3:31.70 at Worlds in 2019 (4th), 3:28.67 at Worlds in 2020 (2nd), 3:28.32 in Tokyo 2021 (Gold), 2:38.32 at Worlds in 2021 (2nd), 3:29.47 at Worlds in 2022 (2nd) and 3:29.65 at Worlds in 2023 (2nd). For such a trash talker he sure doesn't seem to come through in unpaced races (1x out of 6 in 5 years).
Say what you want about Usain Bolt, the dude delivered almost every time he came to the track at both the 100m and 200m. Bolt was always uber confident but he wasn't as childishly petty or dismissive as Jakob. Speaks to a lot of insecurity on Jakob's part. But our boy Jakob lost to Kerr, Wightman, Cheruiyot and others when it mattered in unpaced races. Maybe work on that Jakob before you speak so highly of yourself and so poorly of others!
I doubted Jakob's virus in Budabest. Now I do not. Nordas and Llaros were right with him in that race, while yesterday they couldn't even stay on the screen with him. He looked so much stronger and healthier.
There is only a very tiny window of probability for all that you say to materialize for Jakob. Come on, he is getting married to Elizabeth, and you know marriage changes the dynamics of the human physiology and immunology ever so slightly, not that much, but at the elite top level just 0.1% change is enough to throw off true WR shape. Jakob's biomechanical form seems to deteriorate year upon year since 2021 Tokyo. He is running with a more and more sagging right shoulder causing an unsymmetrical arm swing carriage when he runs. Affects his foot strike and the amount of force he can apply to the ground too. take a look at 4:39 in this video of his just completed 2000 WR race. You will see what I mean. He is not getting faster with such horrendous biomechanics. it's a sign of burgeoning turmoil within his biophysical body, an imbalance is festering and magnifying, whatever that imbalance may mean...
This is just wrong. As you can see from my other posts on the site, I don't like JI, but give him his due - he ran 3:27.14 in the 1500 in July 2023, which is a PB, the 4th fastest 1500 of all time, and only 1.14 seconds away from the WR.
Well, Mo Farah was certainly a dope, and you have to consider that the level of competitions was way lower at his prime. There is no comparison between them. Farah was not even close to any WR. For instance, his 12;53 5000m NR would give him absolutely nothing racing with top guys right now.

Worlds 2020 and Worlds 2021?
At any rate, that is the cherry-pickingist list I have ever seen. There are only two fair ways to evaluate Jakob's title performances -
1) Just the giants -- Olympics and outdoor Worlds. He has 3 Golds, 2 Silvers in 5 adult attempts. (The teen races don't count, just as I wouldn't say that Llaros "lost" in Budapest.)
2) Or you include everything else -- indoor Worlds, European titles indoor and outdoor, and DL titles. By that count Jakob has 19 (!) golds.
I'm not a Jakob fanboy, just saying that your post really, truly twists the truth of how he has performed in title races. It's the kind of post that one would make in a political campaign, to mislead listeners about what the other candidate has done.
