- 3:26.69 PR three-time World champ and 2008 Olympic champ Asbel Kiprop, at the time regarded as the world's greatest miler.
- 3:29.58 PR World champ and World bronze medalist Ayanleh Souleiman
- 3:28:79 PR Olympic bronze medalist, World champ, and three-time World bronze medalist Abdalaati Iguider
- 3:31.06 PR Australian record holder Ryan Gregson
- 3:28.81 PR world junior record holder and Olympic silver medalist Ronald Kwemoi
OH AND ALSO 3:30.40 PR World champ, silver, and bronze medalist Matthew MF Centrowitz Jr.
Sounds like a loaded field to me. And sounds like always you are salty and trying to bring down the achievements of others. "Tall poppy syndrome" as they call it in your country. Stop being a negative nancy and appreciate how great this race was.
You've just effectively explained why Centro was lucky. He beat a bunch of much faster runners who ran a tactically poor race. Probably the worst Olympic 1500 final I've seen.

- Willis' best that season was 3:34, longest sub4 mile streakholder is irrelevant to the discussion
- Kiprop was injured and his best that season was 3:29.33
- Souleiman's best 1500m was 3:31.68 before the games
Not even going to finish, the field was weak
So you're saying the field was so weak anyone could win, even in a dawdle - and even Centro? That's a new spin.

You said that at the beginning of the year. It was 2021 and it is now nearing the end of 2025. You are aware that time moves on? Apparently not.
The childish view of an unbelievable dumb person - which you prove to be again and again.
To stretch the time span without a global 1500m final just reflects your stupidity.
But what should be expected from someone who doesn't understand the concept of a country.
Ingebrigtsen lost the global 1500m outdoor finals in the years 22, 23 and 24 - 3 years, Dumb, not 4. If he runs in Tokyo and loses, than it's 4 years in a row.
You got it now, Dumb?
Hocker has lost all global finals since 1 year...
July 2021 was over 4 years ago, not 3. He hasn't won another global outdoor 1500 title in those 4 years. Try to keep up.

Oh no, "only" 3:29.33, which was at the time, faster than any American not named Bernard Lagat, had ever run. Whether or not he got lucky (I don't think he did, I don't think anyone was gonna beat him that day), Centro beat a damn good field.
So what? He is a convicted drug cheat that was only capable of 3:29.33 that season. He wasn't that good and it was the beginning of his downfall.

That's from you, dishonest Dumb:
"He can't win global 1500 titles now, whatever his tactics. He has shown that for 4 years."
According to you, he has shown this year that he can't win a global 1500m now - without one happening so far.

+1
"beginning of his downfall": As we know thanks to the IAAF leak, Kiprop was already being target tested at that time due to his flagged ABP, and had to decrease his EPO (and whatnot?) dosages - though either not enough, or not long enough, as his bust in 2017 showed.

It is 4 years since he last won a global outdoor 1500 title. But - just for the sake of argument - what difference does it make whether it is 3 or 4 years? He has a losing record at global championship level in his main event since August 2021 - his last victory. Careers have been that long.

"It is 4 years since he last won a global outdoor 1500 title." - absolutely correct, respect, Dumb!
Your original statement was nonsense - I see you got it now.
Relatively fast for you - well done, Dumb!
Not so much difference, Dumb: one is correct, the other not.
In two weeks it might be 4 years where he couldn't win a global 1500m outdoor final.
How do you rank his chances to win the 1500m in Tokyo, Dumb? Since we really don't now his current form, I would say around 20%, if close to his best maybe 35%. If I had to bet, I would say Hocker is the favorite. And for you?

The chances are Jakob won't change his losing record.

You've just effectively explained why Centro was lucky. He beat a bunch of much faster runners who ran a tactically poor race. Probably the worst Olympic 1500 final I've seen.
How is your takeaway that he got lucky against an entire field of fast medalists and champs 😂😂😂 you have got to be trolling, otherwise your brain is cooked dude time to go to a nursing home

He got lucky because they ran a tactically poor race. It was the slowest 1500 Olympic final in over 80 years. Ridiculous. He wasn't the fastest or best runner in the race - his career competitive record shows that.

I didn't say that. I said his competitors did. He got lucky. You forgot to take your medication today.
