Definitely true. I care a lot if he wins or not because I'm a fan of this sport (not of Ingebrigtsen, but that's irrelevant). You care at least as much as i do, because you hate Ingebrigtsen (and for sure also this sport).
Since the sport is all about doping it is a matter of indifference to me who wins, although I do enjoy seeing a big-head get his comeuppance.
This makes it even more sad.

It is when you don't have a kick.
Sure -Jakob hit a wall 40m before the finish line. -Cheruiyot didn’t, and would have won without the dive. Why on earth would I deny that..?

Only this time he won.
You seem to have only just realised that. But the face-plant was fun to see.

It is only "saying something" from this irrelevant little echo chamber.

I didn't say you were. And, yes - Cheruiyot would have won without the dive. He was closing fast on the line. But it reinforces my point about Jakob's relative lack of kick.

Only for those who don't like to see Jakob put in his place after his excuses and putdowns of other runners.

Why do you spend hours every day in an irrelevant little echo chamber?

He hit a wall of fatigue a little sooner than usual (also according to himself in interviews) because of poorer shape, after kicking away from Cheruiyot. The latter had more strength, but less kick… But of course if this happens all the time we must redefine Jakob to a poorer kicker.

Jakob is some seconds away from his best 2023 shape.
The interesting question for you and other haters is: Can he come back to his shape of last year or better?
I think yes, provided he stays healthy.
So don´t rejoice too early.

Other runners can also comeback and progress.
Or you only believe on Norwegian magic trainings?

In fact in 2023, he had an exceptional season preparation and was the crowning of his work during 2 years.
Ne we have to see his ability to stick at the top for enough time.

If anything, this result makes him look pretty invincible. He had what, 200-250 meters max of drafting in that race + starting off the bend in the start? He essentially front-runned a 3:29 near the start of his season (his seasons always start late may). I wouldn’t be surprised if he got into 3:26-3:27 shape by july/august.

Armstrong: Jakob won, so he was the better runner. No need for any further disussion.
