is JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN going to break the mile/3k/5k world records in his career?

You think that guy’s going to run under 7:20? Lol!

Nobody will break those records unless they can use EPO unimpeded by testing. All of those records were set before there was a reliable EPO test in 2008.

He will run 3:23.22/. 3:39.81 mile 7:15.22 for 3000m and 2 miles 7:51.12 and 5000m in 12:29.56

Does not have enough basic speed for 1500/mile records and likely 3000. Probably a bit too big for 5000 records. I would expect him to be able to run 3:28low/7:25ish/12:4mid though in good race for fast times. One thing is that with his limited speed, the pace has to be very consistent as he will not handle surges too well.

LOL there he goes again. You just can't help yourself

LOL you don't have a life.

He would have to turn into a Usain Boltesque freak when he fully matures. I vote no on all of those simply because everything needs to go perfectly. Those records may never be broken by any human in the next 100 years. Nobody even gets close anymore.

I think Bekele's 10k world record is the most vulnerable, but not by Jakob. Bekele buried that one so far that he had no reason to lower it any further. Kiplimo, Cheptegei, and Kipruto could all give it a shot. Someone just needs to put the money up to have a rabbited 3way battle. Like make the money so big that they will actually peak for it.

Kenenisa tried to break his 10000m record but he could not do it. He tried at Pre and ran 26:25. It is not that he did not try. He could NOT do it. Those guys you mentioned have no chance either. Nobody can even pace them much beyond 6400m. It will not happen anytime soon.

El G was part of a hot housing insanely intense elite GDR style training academy from 15, yet it took him nearly a decade with full throttle peds to get to 3:26.0

This is legally referred to as slander. ^^

The question is - is Jakob as talented as Ryun, Coe, Ovett, and Cram? If yes, and his career up to now suggests he is, then if he has a good run of injury free years in his prime, he will probably run 3:24.

And this is your racism at work again.

No Kenyan has run under 3:35 clean but Jakob can run 3:24 clean?

You refute any genetic advantage East Africans may have while you defend that Jakob, Coe, Ryun, Ovett and Cram can/could all run times that East Africans (and El Guerrouj) would have to dope to achieve.

Just dumb, dude.

The 3k world record is 7:20 and the most difficult record to break in track and field. The indoor 3k is also insane at 7:23

I think we can sum up Coevett’s post pretty well. He thinks whites are superior runners....period. That explains everything, and why he is orally servicing the 19 year old Norwegian.

What an idiot.

I didn't even mention any black runners, just El G and a passing reference to the GDR dopers.

It's racist to even suggest a white person could run as fast as your ebony Gods?

Oh are you the same troll who leaves sexually obscene posts and threats here when drugged up at night? I'm guessing from your language and fixation that you are.

Most of the posts on this thread can be translated -

'Don't be ridiculous! Jakob has the wrong skin colour!'

Coevett you are the racist. We know Jakob is a very special talent. You think (because he is white) that he must be clean. That epitomizes your racism. I assume he is capable of running tremendous times due to his talent, training and possibly drugs. We are NOT racist just because we doubt that he can set world records.

+1

It is not because he is white that Jakob is most likely clean.

Its because norwegians are tested more heavily than any other nations.

Its because they are living in a small community where everybody knows each other.

Its because in nordic countries deliberatly cheating is so out of the question - he would be a shame for the whole nation.

Its because he has been an exeptional talent since he was 10, and havint two older brothers his coach and trainer could learn from previous mistakes and fine tune Jakobs training.

Its because unlike runners from poor countries, Jakob doesnt desperatly need to win to feed his family. He wouldnt be proud if he knew he had to cheat.

No

So what? Marion Jones was an exceptional talent from a young age. That does not mean you will not cheat. You go on and on about Norwegians not being proud if they cheated. You sound like you are either very dishonest or very naive.

Marion Jones?

Lets see: American sports has a long history of doping, especially sprinters.

And the country is so big there was no problem to hide away and "cut some corners".

To be a convicted doper has never been that big a deal for americans.

Seems like you pretty much confirmed my other points.

And my guess is you have never been to Norway and dont know ANYTHING about neither our culture nor our view on sports.

Oh, I forgot maybe the first and most important point: Testing in the US was - and still is - close to nothing.
