I'm not concerned with his will to compete; I simply don't accept the bs that he comes up with to excuse his poor performances and that spouted by his simple-minded fans.
For almost any of Coe's defeats during his prime, there was some sort of injury in discussion.
No there wasn't. Jakob is the master of excuses. His fans have elevated it to an art form.
In the simple thinking of fans it hasn't occurred to them that Filip's comments about his brother are merely gamesmanship, to boost Jakob's image and self regard while attempting to alarm his competitors. What his comments aren't are facts about what he has achieved or will achieve. (Was his training "loaded" before Paris?) I almost expect to hear Filip say Jakob's training was "beautiful".

It will be funny to watch your meltdown when Jakob breaks another world record. 🍿
You have no idea what you are talking about. Seriously. Not even close? How do you know that they talked about not being able to finish after 19k's in WR pace rather than not being able to finish despite walking, or not being able to finish because injury etc?
Does it give you some personal fulfillment to pretend like you know better now when you knew how it all unfolded and can challenge athletes on whatever they said did before the event? You do it time and time again.
So you think they talked about Jakob being pumped before half ways as an option, when one of their (Jakob’s) other options was (not ruling out) winning in a new WR? -Yes, I’m speculating, just like you.
What are you on about?
These are quotes from the bery link you poated yourself:
"23-åringen avviste overfor VG at det kunne være mulig med en verdensrekord i debuten allerede."
The 23 year old denied that a WR can even be possible in his debut.
Filip said he wasn't trained for a HM, and that it would get hard at the end.
Did you even read your own link? Do you understand anything of this?
There is a difference between speculation and throwing darts with your eyes shut.
He's always paid to turn up; he's a professional athlete. Vanity is the more likely explanation.
Fisher wasn't drawing attention to himself, running outside his distance, like the Norwegian narcissist was.
Amazing how you are so affected by Jakob Ingebrigtsen. And funny 😂
Narcissists feel threatened when other narcissists take the spotlight (in this case the spotlight of his running heroes from the past). That's why Armstronglivs feels so strongly about Jakob.
Jakob fans can be almost as stubborn as pro 2a or anti 2a activists at times, but this ones on you. You are picking a weird hill to die on here.
I don’t like the politically correct -I like honesty. And Armstronglivs is an honest poster, that often views things differently from what I do. But he is fun to read, and is a necessary correction to all the blind bs on these threads. And I’m proud of how he goes against the majority who doesn’t allow anyone to have views that differ from the average shallowness.
But saying that -don’t get me wrong- a lot of your posts are also good. And I wouldn’t at all dream of calling you a liar. My point is that every poster should be credited when they are saying something interesting and good -surely Armstronglivs also- and be criticised in a matter of fact way when they are not. And I really hope you don’t support all the bs that are being thrown at the kiwi…

Can you give me a couple of examples of what you call "blind bs" on this thread?
Yes, I could give many regarding Jakob’s “proven” 5000m supremacy or good HM running. But since it is you who ask -being a troll behind a troll handle- I better focus on all the bs against Armstronglivs: Counting his posts, and posting times, focusing on his age, and making up things about his person and life.
In my view Armstronglivs is a secure person, who doesn’t need to go after other posters (he goes after the ball, unlike you). I also think his many and frequent posts are a good sign -bothering to answer almost all posters here is a good strategy and routine, and I always liked when he answered mine even when he disagreed in my content. Furthermore he has repeated that this is only sport, whereas most of his opponents are self righteous mf’s.
