And Farah is 50th all time, but somehow that doesn't matter in Armys special world.
Farah buries Ingebrigtsen by the measure of championship victories in the 5k/10k. Keep losing.
Jakob’s marks over every distance from 1500-2mile, including the mile, 2000m, and 3000m, close that gap considerably. Jakob is also one of only three men to win Olympic Gold in the 5000 and 1500m. I agree Farah is better but he does not “bury” Ingebrigtsen.

I do like Kerr teasing out an 8K Time Trial, which to Jakob might also be known as another European XC title. It'll be cute to see Kerr run 27:00 pace or something though?
You are still numerically and mentally challenged. Basic math is too much for you. And your memory is gone. And yet you will find ways to "prove" you are right.
Seek professional help, please.
2021-2025. No one gives a f*** about weeks, except morons like you.
3 seconds. Huge difference. But not the 13 secs difference between Ingebrigtsen and Cheptegei. Is he getting any closer yet? 3 years with no progress isn't looking that good.
Yes, meanwhile he has improved from 3:28 to 3:26, 3:47 to 3:43, 4:50 to 4:43, 7:27 to 7:17, and ran 7:54. Seems pretty good to me!
All much shorter distances than 5k (which is my point). There - no improvement in times since 2021.

Weeks...
Less than 3 1/2 years, for you over 4 years. And this was already discussed earlier extensively - you are just too stupid to get a single fact correct. Just too stupid.
Actually you are quite the timid person. You failed to highlight the most important quote of them all which shows Josh’s suspicion of Hocker, Nugise and Kessler doping.
”I’m not cheating, but I can’t control what the other camps are doing. I can only accept the result ( my loss to Hocker) and move on.”
Rojo you have lots to answer to us Americans today as a British athlete has clearly fired a shot at American camps clearly implying even if subtly that ‘he can’t control what the other camps are doing’ ( that means if the other camps are doping secretly he can do nothing about it), and that is the evidence of him knowing something is up with Hocker and the other 2 teammates.
Americans are awakened today after trumps victory. We will search every nook and cranny and test every piece of ‘fact’ to the fullest. Josh has spoken his mind, let those dirty Americans be banned for life.
Yeah not sure what "Rojo" is supposed to do about this - arrange a court martial and get Kerr on the stand to explain his comments? Take it easy.
And furthermore, I don't know why you think this is something directly aimed at just Americans - I mean the guy he clearly dislikes the most and has had the most verbal sparring with is Jakob - not an American.
But that particular comment from him is f-ing lame. It just is. He is absolutely insinuating he's the victim of doping indiscretions and I'm not sure on what basis he is making those claims. "I can only accept the loss and move on" - yeah dude, bringing up that you aren't cheating and can't control what other camps are doing doesn't sound like you are accepting your loss and moving on at all, in fact that's the total opposite.
I am actually starting to find this guy insufferable.
Your comments are insufferable too. Josh has always been above board in everything and Jakob was the one with some growing up to do.

I guess so but what we have learn in physiology is that you can either be a good pure sprinter or a good pure distance runner. A guy can’t win both 100m and marathon at the same games. Berkeley couldn’t get the 1500m WR or even 3k WR and the marathon at the same time.
the same will play out with JI. He will be good up to a certain max distance but since he is getting WRs at distances Bekele never got, he will also never get WRs at Bekele’s WR distances. Im referring to 10k and half full marathon.
You cannot cheat physiology. JI has a foul mouth for claiming he will hold every WR in the distance spectrum and needs to be smacked shut. He doesn’t understand human biology.

Kerr will be under 22:30 for an 8k time trial easily. Otherwise he will just be holding back in reserve. He beat Jakob in a half, do you really think he can’t keep pace with Jakob in an XC?
Fvck you mean, a better one? They both have 2 Oly golds and chep is like 4 years older. Also when Cheptegei ran his WRs you said it was super blatant doping citing lack of tests during the pandemic. Why are you now defending someone you accused of doping?
Ingebrigtsen is just as likely to be doping - so not much to choose between them there. But that aside, Cheptegei is still the much faster runner over 5k so far. So are 20 other guys.
To add when JI used to boast he WILL definitely hold every distance WR of the modern era, we should have known better that he is, was or is going to be dirty. So you are right. It may very well be Josh is the only clean stud.

Who is this Armstronglvs guy? sick of this guy after years of interrupting my enjoyment reading about my sport
Hocker, unknown before OG?
Ingebrigtsen on drugs?
This is the useless garbage speak I refer to.
PED allegations should come with a sniff of evidence.
Guys such as MacDaddy, Ramzi, Aouita, Katir were sniffed out via a mountain of athlete suspicions, evidence and with strong inuendo. In the case of Africa, with what 100 busts in a couple of years, sell, at least there is some kind of smoke with the fire when people make their shoot from the hip comments.
What this guy Armstronglivs means, is the Hocker was not known to people to don't know track and field. Pointless.
And that anyone that can run as fast as Jacob is by definition on drugs. Pointless.
Hocker was not known to be a medal contender before Paris, and without having sniffed anywhere near bronze or silver he skipped those and went straight to gold. If you are not consistently in the top 3 on 2021, 2022, 2023 in any global champs at your main distance of 1500m, you are not at all going to leapfrog from 5th, 6th, 8th straight to 1st all of a sudden like the rest of the guys aren’t doping or training hard enough. There is just. It enough natural momentum to do such leapfrogging except if you are using PEDs. Hocker’s scenario most definitely aligns with a stunning leapfrog using PEDs.
I disagree. You are looking at their overall history going back at least to 2021, to then claim "who's the best right now". I agree that Jakob was the best from 2021 - 2024, but, "right now"?
We need to agree/define "right now" before making such a statement. How about looking at those 4 years separately? Like letsrun did? They just wrote "Men’s 1500/mile: Ingebrigtsen is narrowly World #1 for fourth consecutive year". So Jakob got the nod, but "Deciding on a #1 for 2024 was tougher than usual." Personally I'd go Cole - Jakob - Josh, but they all have good arguments.
Hocker needs to prove he's not another one hit wonder like Wightman before he can be crowned as the best.
He is not actually a one hit wonder but a one drug wonder most likely. He can do it again, I assure you but he will only wait for the big occasion to execute. Otherwise he was really washed up after Tokyo 21. Being at the top is supposed to be an ephemeral thing.
Also Wanamaker mile is about winning not time. Jakob's indoor races are usually about going for some sort of record.... just like his diamond league races. So your future comparison is already disingenuous
So you don´t think they will go after the indoor mile WR in the Wanamaker Mile? Interesting!
I think Nuguse has tried the last 2 years.
Kerr will get it. Nuguse will be rightly whipped into embarrassment.
