Did I say "Ingebrigtsen is"? Apparently not. Reading hard for you?
I love how you replied to me, seethed and stewed for 20 minutes, and then came back for another reply. Thank you for letting me live rent free in your head.

I felt you needed help, since English is quite a problem with you.
The one thing fans show in these threads is that they have no idea what they are seeing on the track. All they see is their idol.
What's hilarious to me is how many of the posters here don't even seem to understand basic terminology in the 15.
What is a "kick"? A kick is the ability to acccelerate rapidly from a somewhat sub-maximal pace. It is useful in championships for tactical reasons because the lack of a pacer means they are often run at slower speeds than paced Diamond League competitions. A kick is normally seen from around 250m out or less in the 1500m. Generally speaking 1500m athletes with a kick also have fast 800m times.
Is finishing quickly a "kick"? Not necessarily. Winding up the race speed beginning from 1,000m-400m is not a kick as it simply represents either moving away from the opposition steadily or putting sufficient aerobic demands on them that they are unable to utilise their rapid acceleration.
Jakob did not "kick" away from Cheriyout in Tokyo because he was paced to a 3:28 low by Tim from the second lap onwards.
It's incredible to me things as basic as this seem controversial for the Jakob fanboys who populate much of this board.
I can see the red hats here with "Ingy" on the front.
If I had to choose between a red hat with “Ingy” on the front (a guy who is a third of my age) and that other type of red hat I think I would suffer a severe breakdown…
An Ingebrigtsen thread is like a Trump rally. A dumb cult.
I’m curious of where you draw the line for placing a poster in this dumb cult (I get it that I am placed solid there, so it’s not my position I’m asking about). So if a poster thinks (just thinks, as in maybe, not sure at all) that Jakob can break the WR in both the 1500m and the 5000m -is he then in the cult automatically..? (Again: I’m not talking about me. I am very uncertain about his potential here, especially in the 5k, although I have some hopes)…

I'm sure you can see the line for itself. Blind dumb adoration.

Armstronglivs admitting that Jakob has a better kick than both Kerr and Cheruiyot.
Jakob may have out-kicked others in a particular race but that doesn't mean he generally has a better kick. He mostly doesn't. He wears his opponents down but you drooling fans can't see that.

Of course he wears them down -frankly I don’t get the point of calling the last 200m or 100m of a fast race for a kick, but this must be applied to everybody of course…. Also the once that don’t let themselves be worn done, and pass him slightly….

Even an honest try to have an on topic discussion is shut down.
