Are you truly incompetent enough to believe one of the most consistent athletes on the diamond league circuit that has run 7:27 and 13:02 in the past year, along with 27:54 on the road in the past year actually ran 30 plus as an all out race?
Should we euthanize you?

“It did not work today, Jakob Ingebrigtsen told NRK after the race.”
“Father and coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen told NRK that the son was bleeding "violently" nosebleeds before the start.”
“The first kilometers alternated many runners to be in front, both Jakob and Filip Ingebrigtsen were far ahead. Halfway, the reigning Norwegian champion in the 10,000 meters, Zerei Kbrom Mezngi, stood out from the rest. The Ingebrigtsen brothers took up the hunt, but the Stavanger runner increased the distance. With only two kilometers left, he still led, with Filip Ingebrigtsen as the closest challenger.”
“Here he puts the Ingebrigtsen brothers in place, said Direktesports commentator Ola Sakshaug.”
Everyone has a bad day. Jakob was hurting and gave up. His time is so bad because he couldn’t run anymore and walked to the finish.
Jakob may be “one of the most consistent athletes on the Diamond League,” but today he’s not even the second best 10K runner from Stavanger/Sandnes.
