If you're Hagos Gebrhiwet every single day that passes is diminished WR chances at your age. Even if this race doesn't bring it he may push more this year.

I glanced at the other thread, but is the 5000m on the 11th or the 12th?
Ingebrigtsen has still only run the event 8 times in 5 years. He has only once run under 13 mins. He just makes it into the top 20 for times, which hardly puts him at the top of the event historically. You're welcome.
As often as Joshua Cheptegei. Good that you realised and corrected your mistake. He cearly is at the top of the event historically. Only 1 other athlete has as many global golds as he has.
Well if Cheptegei runs it only as often as Ingebrigtsen he is obviously much faster - 12:35 to 12:48 says so. So historically still ahead of the Norwegian. If records were that easy for Ingebrigtsen he would have them by now - by which I mean the ones that count - the 1500/mile and 5k. They remain out of reach. What is more predictable are injuries - such as what he has now.

But Cheptegei has never beaten Ingebrigtsen at any distance and he will never beat him at any distance.
He's run the 5k only 5 times in 5 years. If he wasn't regularly running the 1500 we would think he was Makhloufi.
For the sake of truth he's run 5k more than 5 times in last 5 years.
Apparently 8 times in 5 years - and some of those were merely local races, not international. So that's less than twice a year. For one touted as one of the greatest distance runners ever. There are hobbyists and amateurs who run the event more often.

A bold claim. If Cheptegei met Ingebrigtsen over 5k/10k when Cheptegei was at peak fitness the Ugandan's fastest time says otherwise. So did the manner of his Olympic 10k victory. Far more impressive than Ingebrigtsen's 5k victory.

What a relevant comment. You probably also think those "hobbyists and amateurs" are better than Jakob because they do their Parkrun every weekend.

Conseslus Kipruto never broke 8:00 in the steeplechase. According to your great wisdom, his Olympic gold, two WC golds, two silvers and one bronze, his four Diamond League wins, his Commonwealth Games gold, etc., are not enough to put him at the top of the even historically.

No, Chep's fastest time doesn't say otherwise. He has
never beaten Ingebrigtsen and most likely will never beat him.

It doesn't mean they are better but that they are obviously more focused on the event if they run it more often. For him it appears to be a hobby.

How many times have they met? Ingebrigtsen races the 5k once in a blue moon. Cheptegei's record is far out of Ingebrigtsen's reach. As for the 10k record - Ingebrigtsen isn't even in the conversation.
He has only once run under 13 mins. He just makes it into the top 20 for times, which hardly puts him at the top of the event historically.

Keep attacking those windmills.
Diversion. This isn't about Kipruto or the steeplechase. It is claimed that Cheptegei doesn't race the 5k any more often than Ingebrigtsen does - yet his best time is streets ahead. They haven't met for years over the distance and that was when Cheptegei was obviously not in his best form. Cheptegei's Olympic victory in the 10k was comprehensively better than Ingebrigtsen's in the 5k.
The only fact that is currently relevant about Ingebrigtsen is that he has yet another injury, which puts him out of contention, and from which he may not fully recover.
Chep is older than Jakob. In 2017-2021 Cheptegei would have beaten Jakob. But 2022-present Jakob is the superior 5000 meter man. Cheptegei peaked in 2020 when he set two world records in less than a month (both of which are still standing). It’s hard to compare their peaks because Cheptegei was already on the back 9 of his career when they first raced in 2022.

It is not claimed, it is a fact.
Cheptegei: 1 global gold
Ingebrigtsen: 3 global golds (despite being 4 years younger).
They haven't met because Cheptegei skipped the 5000m 2 times at the global champs (most likely because he feared to lose to Ingebrigtsen).
