Worlds Final Day Live: Jakob GOLD, Moraa Upsets Athing and Keely

People called it and I just didn't believe they would be so stupid to again run the race right into Jakob's hands like that.

In the end it was Katir (kind of out of nowhere) that at least made the race as interesting as it was because otherwise Jakob would have been Steve Ovetting up the home straight again like he did in Eugene.

I just can't believe with all those guys have run in the low 12.40's this year that they wouldn't really hammer it from 2400-2000m out. Stunning

Katir gave him a hard time.

Hope to see him make history in Paris next year, though this race also made me root for Katir!

Jakob has to make a little effort to pass a guy red-lined in pure hate mode, biting his own teeth off, and they call the other guy a doper.

He looked rough to me. Definitely wasn’t toying with the field. Got to give it to jakob. That was super gritty and impressive if he truly was dealing with illness

They pushed it but never went hard enough to break the top 4 (all great kickers). Bad tactics.

He should drop the 1500 and run the 10k or steeple. Would be an easier double, and he’s really not a 1500 guy - when is the last time he’s lost a 5k?

I think team USA has lost him for good and that’s on the USA. He’s 100% a kid from California, every bit an American and our f’d up politics unable to recognize it.

Jacob Krop always finds a way to earn himself some metal.

Jakob did not look happy at all mid-race. Just watched him getting his medal, and he looked knackered. I'd say he dug very deep to win.

USA distance running in shambles.

even Europeans are starting to pick up medals.

Without them the timers would have no idea who is who. It's the only way we can be sure of the results.

What are you blabbering about? Americans love Jakob on here

Katir shadowed Jakob the whole race, made a strong move with 300 to go and got caught with 10m to go. He did what he intended to do and it almost worked for gold. He's happy with silver too.

Does Aregawi legitimately believe he can outkick Jakob in the last 400? Is he delusional?

Honestly it becomes harder and harder for me to root for Jakob. He barely out kicks Katir and then gestures at the camera like that was easy, exactly like he did after the 1500m semi final.

I’m all about showboating and I don’t mind it usually, but it’s kind of weird to do that after just getting out kicked in the 1500m and barely outkicking katir here.
