So the poster was right that you couldn't answer that question.

You can't tell the difference between "couldn't" and "wouldn't". It was too boring.

Did someone say Jakob just does not have much of a kick? He's on cruise control and is going to break some WR this year.

Hocker would have flown past him. He won’t win Tokyo

He wanted to win. He won. Only a moron like you, grasping at straws, is now going to judge his performance by the gap to second.

The discussion wasn't about that he won in a lower level championship but his finish. I pointed out that he didn't put much between himself and the second-tier runners he was up against. It was no indication of whether he would be able to similarly beat the best in the world.
