Very impressive by all Ingebrigtsens considering their respective expectations. Big flop for the Kenyans even considering altitude and weather, they weren’t lying when they said they had ran for only 4 weeks

Did Jakob just get 7th all time? Just behind Ngeny?
2000m isn't a common race.
And ER was quite "weak".
3'50"00 is worth 3'30"00 (1245points hugarian table) . Which is already very strong but still a bit weak for a ER.
Jakob can probably do 3'47 in the next years.
Is this meet live?
It looks to be 9 pm in Oslo and 10 pm in Nairobi.
4'50"00 and 4'47 obviously
I believe they ran the Nairobi race earlier today (or maybe even a few days ago).

so you're saying he ran the equivalent of a 3:30.0 1500m in a TT in an empty stadium with his brothers and you aren't impressed?

i dont think so, if they could have chose another day with better weather, they would obisously had chosen another one

Exactly. Perfect pacing, no pressure, no racing strategy involved, no heels to clip, no runners to elbow.

You need to re-read his mispost and check the results if you think he said Jakob's time was equivalent to a 3:30.0 1500m.
"With the interruptions in training, the awkwardness of the distance, and the rarity of sub 3:50 miles (17 since 2010), I just don’t see fast times happening.
Sub 4:55 doesn’t happen often in the 2k.
Komen ran 3:30 and sub 8 the year he ran 4:52.
I think we’ll see one or two 4:56s and everyone else struggling to break 5."
Are you man enough to comment on your predictions macdaddy?

Who cares about the stadium being empty? he had a perfect race with pacers that had to follow a light and no one to bother him. Perfect weather condition, in june, what else do you want?
3'30 is really good but that's just his normal level. Nothing suprising

Are they not showing the 25k?
NRK show the last 18 k from 21.20 CET, but I assume you need VPN for that,
https://tv.nrk.no/direkte/nrk1how can they have the 25,000m at the same time as the 100m? 100m only scheduled like 45min after the 25k...how many different locations do they have?
According to Daniels/McMillan, 4:50 is the equivalent of 3:49 (mile) and 3:32 (1500). Great run under the circumstances but the pacing was pretty much perfect with the lights.

less than 8 runners for the 100M i guess. Probably lane 1 and 2 left empty for the 25000

Still impressed by Tim, though. I wonder what he'll be running by August. Elijah really lucked out the Olympics got pushed back. I still have him has my favourite for gold in Tokyo.

Jakub kicked some major butt!
The 100 m is a para event.

Jakob on a different level to the rest of the world now.
I made that the fastest 2000m since 2001.
Fastest 2000m time since the full throttle EPO era!
Very fine performance from Jakob. 4:50.01 beats some very good runners, John Walker, Jim Spivey, Said Aouita, Steve Cram, who was still the European record holder in the event, and Cram did that at his best in August 1985 when he set his records at 1500m, mile, and 2k, as well as ran 1:42.88 and roughly 2:12.88. Ahead of him, you have runners like Morceli (4:47 WR), Saidi-Sief (4:46), and El Guerrouj (4:44.79), the middle one caught for steroids from a supplement unlisted ingredient in 2001 at the World Championships but surely running that well from EPO, the other two very likely EPO users never caught. Saidi-Sief ran 7:25, 12:50, and 3:29. All of those times should be expunged from the books.
As for Cheruiyot running in rain and surely more wind than listed in the weather report, at 5800 feet, and with no cheating lights for pacing (which should be banned), the NCAA gives a bit over 8 seconds for the altitude at Cedar City (elev. 5782 ft) for a race of about 5:00. That would still leave him well behind Jakob on the altitude conversion but the conditions were a factor as well. It is indeed likely that Cheruiyot and the others are just not in the greatest shape. However, Jakob is in excellent shape. I'd guess 3:31-32. In fact, they started out with the pacemakers only at 58.9, so I'd think that he could go several seconds faster this year in the 2k, and he has a very good chance of breaking 3:30, of course.
