Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Lewandowski, McSweyn - 1500 Ostrava.

fair*

Jakob ran 3:56.29 for the mile at age 16, and then 3:31.18 for the 1500 aged 17. Monster marks at a young age for these two.

Kiplimo finishing second this past season in Cross Country had him beating Kamworor, Barega and Kipruto in the senior race. 5,000 and 10,000 PBs were due for a monster revision. Didn't know he had the 5,000 wheels. He has run a 26:41 10 KM on the roads (downhill). Maybe he can join Cheptegei in that 10,000 record attempt. Would love to see Kipruto there as well obviously. Kamworor still healing up from surgery?

Yes, impressive. Kiplimo ran 10000 at 27.26.68 when he was 15 and 3000 7.43.73 when 16. Jakob isn't close, right?

Whatever times Kiplimo ran at whatever age, I think it's far to assume that Jakob would in fact be close.

By the way. His name is Ingebrigtsen, not Ingebritsen. I think it fair to assume that Jakob would be close to 12.50. But we don't know, do we? Lets see what he is capable of in Rome at 3000.

you do know.

when you beat or run with guys with 12:50 or less, its given.

and there is no doubt that jacob can better moe's 1500 best.

I wonder if Wightman could have beaten Jakob today.

Yes, it's not unlikely that Wightman would have won in a fast tactical race like the one in Ostrava. Wightman has become a very clear medal contender for Tokyo along with Tim, Jakob, Lew, Bigmac and Filip.

I think Lew will be too much over the hill in Tokyo.

That could the case for Makhloufi too (if he turns up).

I also doubt Filip will be a factor. He could to be over the hill too judging from his performances this season.

But I agree about Wightman. He seems to be at least one level up this season.

-------------------

I don´t only think that Jakob IngebriGtsen would have been close to Barega and Jacob Kiplimo in the 5000m.

If Jakob had been prepared for running yesterday (what he wasn´t; he first decided for the 1500m in the last minute) and had been in the same shape as i DL Monaco he would probably have won the 5000.

Barega and Kiplimo are some of the best young runners but I think Jakob is on a slightly higher level.

Yes.

He isnat home.plamtimg potatoes with Manangoi.

I understand Christian Coleman was on Safari [to watch the great migration] and joined them at his farm.

He's probably tired of all the winning.

Jakob was almost caught by an unknown Kenyan who got badly boxed in.

Interesting.

Kumari is NOT unknown.

He is a former world junior champion.
