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.
Keep attacking those windmills.
This isn't about Kipruto or the steeplechase
I am sorry. I thought you were intelligent enough to understand analogies. You obviously are not.
But Cheptegei has never beaten Ingebrigtsen at any distance and he will never beat him at any distance.
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.
Bold or not is a claim, even though Jakob ran a half marathon unprepared, maybe he'll run again unprepared, that's to your advantage, and I don't think it'll ever happen. Simply, a difference in class. Replay me when Joshua bit Jakob, any distance, ever.

It is irrelevant to compare Olympic victories as both runners virtually did none of the work in either race.

You've just compared them, by saying Ingebrigtsen and Cheptegei played the same role in each race. Most Olympic distance finals aren't won by frontrunners. That said, the 10k was a relatively far faster race.

Remind me when Ingebrigtsen runs faster than 12:35 - or wins an Olympic 10k or runs faster than 26:11.
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.
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).
It's neither of their primary event. What happens if we add in golds from their main events? How is Jakob's 1500m championship record looking these days?
Cheptegei, 10,000m wins: 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024
Ingebrigtsen, 1500m wins: 2021 ("2020" Olympics), hey wait, wasn't there supposed to be more here?
(obviously we're not going to count Jakob's recent world indoor title)

It takes a special type of moron to say the 5000m isn't one Jakob's main events

It is irrelevant in the sense that it isn't a relevant point in this discussion.
Yes, both are true. Good that you finally have accepted it. Now try to work on it, you still might have many years left.
Since the latter is true, that he has an injury, but the former claim about my intelligence therefore isn't - since you have accepted the fact of his injury - you have demonstrated who is the stupid one here.

It is to the extent Ingebrigtsen has shown none of the capacity yet to run 5k or 10k times that Cheptegei has.

He has run it only a little more than once a year in the last 5 years, and some of those races weren't in international competition. So how often has he run the 1500/mile in that period?

A special type of moron ☝
In that case the 800 and the HM are amongst his main events because he runs them almost as often as the 5k. I wonder what the 1500 must be?
