It isn't necessary. He will be lucky to be even competing at the next Olympics.
You will be lucky to be even alive come the next Olympics.
Amazing that the thread is still going. Then again, Armstronglivs has a very bad case of OCD. And once someone creates a thread about Jakob they have to be ready for Army the old poofter to drop in and rage, project, and as others have pointed out, get into the “I know you are, but what am I?” tit for tat crap that has nothing to do with the thread’s topic. Bizarre, bitter, petty and small old man. Very strange.
Great race. He ran 13:11, barely won. Cole ran 12:58 and smoked guys running a lot quicker than 13:11.
if "Kick Means Sprint" then i feel like abraham chebii is my prime candidate as a legit sub 13 guy with ridiculous last 200 ability. but if we're including anyone who ran 5000 then all bets are off: seb coe?
He has run the event a total of about 8 times in as many years. He almost matches Viren for being invisible in the event for long periods.
18 times, Dumb.
The invisible Viren, who raced the 5000m dozens and dozens of time...
Has this bitter guy over given some positive contribution to any thread?
In this one wrong numbers and the info that the guy with the fastest times in history in chamionships 5000s for the last 1000. 2000 and 3000 is not fast.
Farah is a better finisher despite slower times but more golds (1st at age 28, Ingebrigtsen now turned 25).
People know him as Olympic champion, World champion, European champion, World Record holder.
People also know you as The Manlet With No Life.
So what do they know him as after the last world's? Where was the greatest 5k kicker in those championships? Are we talking now about Hocker? As for "world record-holder" - nothing in any outdoor global championship distance. The 1500/mile, 5k and 10k are further away than ever.
That's not a kick. He might have the best kick off a fast pace. Hocker's win calls even that into contention. He's taken the next step. Jakob needs a new dimension if he wants to win anything anymore. Otherwise he is chasing time trial world records and nothing else

Yet, like most here, you can't stop talking about me. You've got nothing to say about Ingebrigtsen - because, unlike you, I can discuss the thread subject.

It hasn't been 18 times. You've just plucked a number out of the air, and like your usual claims, out of your a*se. How many times has he run the 5k in even the last two years? He makes SML look over-raced.
With his repeated susceptibility to injury now, that has reduced him to the back of the field in the last WC in both his events, the chances of him regaining his previous best form are practically zero. Farah ran his best after 28; Ingebrigtsen will probably be long retired by that age.

19 times, 6 times in the last two years while injured almost the full last season.

Maybe he retires before age 28, maybe not.
With his achievements so far, his WRs, his global golds, his unmatched European golds he already has to be ranked ahead of Farah.
Thanks for acknowledging his inferior kick. Hocker is better. Still name-calling, still losing.
who knows how good his kick would be if he decided to take a nap for the penultimate lap. Budapest 1500 semi shows there's something there though
He looked like he was taking a nap in Tokyo but never woke up. There's a blindness on this thread, that it has been evident for years that Ingebrigtsen has never had an explosive kick. He wins with a sustained drive because his endurance has been greater than his competitors. When we see that has gone, as we saw in the last world's, we see his much vaunted kick is non-existent. There is no extra gear.

European golds - spare me! You left out Norwegian championship titles. Farah has 10 outdoor global championship golds, including an incredible repeat of the "Viren double". Ingebrigtsen is nowhere near that and never will be.

More random figures. So how many of those races were international events and not local races? If you are now trying to argue he has consistently raced the 5k then it becomes harder to argue that it has been because of lack of opportunity that he hasn't bettered his pr of 12:48 that was achieved years ago.
The only question that matters now about Ingebrigtsen isn't about how his kick measures up historically but will he ever get back to his previous form or is a demonstrated susceptibility to Achilles strains going to end his career prematurely.
