Love to see it.
Slowly cementing the fact that he is becoming the best ever at 1500-3000.
+1
Still shaking after seeing that incredible performance. The top world class guys tried to hang on but just couldn't and fell completely off.
I think it's top 5 all time indoors
1 3:31.04 Samuel TEFERA
2 3:31.18 Hicham EL GUERROUJ
3 3:31.58 Yomif KEJELCHA
4 3:31.76 Haile GEBRSELASSIE
5 3:32.11 Laban ROTICH
Yes, and it was the European record and meet record.
Seemed he was running at least 600 meters all by himself. What kind of pacing did Barega have in his WR? Was he pulled til the last 400?

Blinded by your fanboy glasses?
Only Birgen tried to go with him. The rest raced for second.

When has Barega ever run a WR? Ethiopia has more than one runner.
I saw the full race. I have been critical of Jakob in the past, but Jesus, he’s running so smoothly and comfortably at 3:31 pace indoors, you gotta think he’s going to go way faster than that outdoors.
He broke the meet record from El Gerrouj.
Tefera. I guess I just couldn't believe Tefera was so far back and just brain did not allow to write it.

Nah. It’s because you saw these results in the other thread and Barega is in your head - rent free.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_World_Athletics_Championships_–_Men%27s_5000_metresGood that you brought that up. Do you have the 1500 results for that champs as well?
Now let me know what other runner even dared to run both. Let alone ended up close to the podium for both. Jakob for the win!!
Once again, this stupid announcer needs to retire!! He called Jakob Filip the whole race. He simply does not know the sport any longer. Move on stupid Brit.
Quite a few people were writing him off since he first broke 4 minutes. This kid will be on the Olympic podium this summer!
All those miles he ran as 4 year old finally paying off.

The race was all set up for Kejelcha so Tefera drafted off him almost the whole way
Amazing! Too bad he'll never be as great as Alpha Everett Smegma tho.
Dale Worton from Leeds UK is in shape to run under 3.30 for 1500m this summer. Going to be a good battle between Worton, Ingebrigtsen and cheruiyot.

Jakob, Jacob and Cheruiyot have a league of their own.
Tefera you mean?
He and Kejelcha (3.31.58 according to another post) had a close contest all the way to the finish line.
