Who does Jakob think of first that motivates him to train when he wakes up? I feel like it’s Hocker because he has won gold the last 2 championships they’ve raced each other in. It probably was Kerr in 2023/2024 but that ship has kind of sailed. Hope we see all three at world indoors.
Which clean distance runners have been consistent winners in the last 30 years?
Are you actually asking who have been the clean distance runners in the last 30 years? That may be more to the point.
But if you look at the history of the sport the best in their events were also consistent winners. In recent decades some of them will have been doped, but they, too, dominated their events. Morcelli and El G come to mind, among others. But Hocker has dominated nothing except for a single race in each of the last two years. It couldn't be more blatant.
The question was clearly worded. Which clean distance runners have been consistent winners in the last 30 years?

So what are the other global races he has won in that period? World records?
If someone doesn't break a world record, you assume he's dirty? That's twisted.
You failed to come up with a list of clean distance runners who have been consistent winners in the last 30 years. You lose.
I asked what other big races has he won in the last couple of years - such as DL. You come up with nothing. We might expect an Olympic and world champion might also have a wr or two. But, again - nothing. So by any measure he's an also-ran except once a year and only in a global final. Juicer.

He is a world and Olympic champion. You? A nobody.

You've certainly had to lower the bar by comparing him with a "nobody".

He's won a national championship in each of the last two years. Those are big races. "We might expect an Olympic and world champion might also have a wr or two."
Only an idiot would expect that! Calling someone a juicer because he hasn't broken a wr is one of the dumbest things I've ever read here.
You said, "the best athletes have been consistent winners," yet you are unable to produce a list of clean distance runners who have been consistent winners in the last 30 years.

You lose.
National championships aren't big races. International races are. He loses in those except for once each year.
Many Olympic and world champions over the decades have also been world record holders. I added world records because there has been nothing to reinforce Hocker's standing in the sport except for one race a year in each of the last two years.
Clean champions have also been consistent winners. They haven't won one race a year and lost every other international race. That's his unique "achievement". It's bs - like much of this sport today.
You've certainly had to lower the bar by comparing him with a "nobody".
Thank you for admitting that you are a nobody.
As you are in track. Thank you for admitting you have to compare Hocker to a "nobody" to justify his lack of performances. I'm sure he could probably beat Trump, too - since you're pitting him against those over 70.

Come on man. Of course national championships are big races in a country where athletes aren't handpicked for global championship teams. Do you really think Hocker cared more about GST races than he did about the US national championships?
Expecting an Olympic and World Champion to break world records to prove himself is absurd.
Still no list from you of clean distance runners who have been consistent winners in the last 30 years. You have nothing.
Only BS I see at the moment is what's in your nonsensical rants.
