Ingebrigtsen vs Nuguse in 1500 at Rabat Diamond League on Sunday!

Not mentioned yet, I think: I hope Yared arrived in Europe at least a week ago. Better 10 days ago. It affects some more than others, but jet lag is real. He certainly handled it well on his
trip to Madrid in February. But he’ll need better than 3:33 to win tomorrow. Go Yared! Go Irish! Go ON!

Good luck to Ingebrigsten tomorrow. I hope he will get what he deserves.

Sure he is the one that the more pressure on him.

Speaking of the American "Nuguse", if I have to do a poll of better talent between him and Lamecha Girma (middle/long distances) il will vote 10 against 1 in favor of the Ethiopian.

Thank you for correcting my "provocation". Nothing would be better than a guy who will be able to compete with Jakob this year. And even beat him. Indoor is actually indoor. So may be I am flat out wrong. My prediction is that Ollie Hoare will beat Nuguse. And may be even Mario Garcia. I know that they are all in the same group. Reynold C promising. But some of these young Kenyans tend to be good in their teens and so they burn out. Actually I think the most exciting DL will be at Bislett 15th of July. Cheruiyot and Gourley may be Jakobs biggest contenders this year.

You are right. Not impressive PBs at the mile for Filip and Henrik. The 32 year old Henrik ran a PB 5ooo yeasterday - 13.14. And Gjerts pupil Narve Gilje Nordås some .3 under 3.35. But perhaps Hessler will be the best american this year. But, by all means; if Nuguse beats Jakob nothing will be better for the 15oo this year. All the best.

Nuguse wins this match-up.

Jakob beats Nuguse at World Championships.

I told y'all.

Wow. Ingebrigtsen let it go slow and still OUTKICKED Hoare and Nuguse. 39.9 last 300.

That race bodes will for Tim C as I expected something faster.

Good race, nothing crazy on the splits. The rematch with some acclimation and more sharpness in Oslo should be faster. Looked like Nuguse was a bit passive throughout.

looking forward to the coffee club recap

Nuguse looked truly nervous at the start. This was like his major league debut. He’ll do better, but Jakob is not walking away concerned that his approach is leading to anything but gold this summer.

Nuguse shouldn’t have drafted off Hoare. Ran like a moron

What does Filip and Henrik have to do with comparing Nguse with Jakob?

I agree with this actually. Nuguse should be on the leader. You didn’t see Noah Ngeny or even young Jakob lurking back. Get up in front so you’re not asking for too much the last 200

:(

LOL! This is the raison d'etre of this message board. An predominantly American message board by the way.

Modern indoor tracks have been built for fast 1500m/1 mile. It is possible to be great indoors and outdoors but I hope we stop expecting great indoor performances to transfer to outdoor greatness. On another thread several weeks ago I correctly predicted this outcome.

The Goose came in with the 8th fastest PR and first time on the biggest stage. He PR’ed and took second. It’s a good start to the year. There is a reason Ing-y is best in the world. For now.

I wasn't too far off. JI 3:32 FTW.

How can you be the foremost challenger when you have never won DL race, never won a WC gold and not even been close to beating JI, like tbe true foremost challengers? Dont you guys realize how absurd it is, and how disrespectfull it is for the rest of the elite that you crown someone to be the champion without them ever been in a meet against the best?
