Filip officially going backwards. I guess with as well as Jakob’s been running, there’s no sense in risking a lesser Ingebrigtsen getting popped for doping.

"Fact is - Lewandowski is the reigning, unbeatable Indoor champion. He won it all in 2015, won it again in 2017, and once again in 2019, where he also beat Jakob without much trouble (European Indoor take place every 2 years).
In other words - Lewandowski got Gold in indoor 2017 1500m, Gold again in indoor 2019 1500m, and the only reason he did not get Gold in indoor 2015 1500m was because he was a 800m runner back then, started in the 800m and got Gold in the indoor 2015 800m.
Jakob is going up against a true champion here and it's up to him to find a way to stress him and beat him. The winning times in 2017 and 2019 were 3:44 and 3:42, who do you think has the edge in a slow race like that? I don't care how many years or decades Lewandowski is older than Jakob, he still got way more speed and all he has to do is destroy him on the last 1-2 laps and be the first guy to cross the finish line.
It's just gonna be a repeat of what happened 2019. Jakob already back then had the much better PR (Lewandowski just moved up to 1500 and his PR was not that good yet back then), but still couldn't figure out how to win. His best bet is if Filip sacrifices himself and helps him set a quick pace, so kinda colluding but in a fair race he will struggle against Lewandowski if he can't drop him early enough. "

You are going to eat your words!
Don´t you realize that Jakob is 2 levels up from Glasgow 2019? What happened in 2019 is history.
And that Lewandowski is over the hill?
And that Lew in Glasgow 2019 had the advantage that he only ran the 1500m whereas Jakob had run qualifying and final in the 3000m before the 1500m final.

Congratulation John!
You got them all in the final apart from Filip (who I questioned in another thread yesterday)
W1500 qualifiers on, Archer GB takes first one.
W800 starting. Snowden went through in last 1500 ht.
Hodgkinson takes ht1, Buchel-Rutz scrapes through in ht2
UK takes the W3000 gold Markovc and bronze Ockenden.
Oh dear bit of a disaster for Neil Gourley at the start and never got into the race.
Lol, were they playing ABBA?
Gabby > Denise > Hannah.
Just kidding! Sorry.
OK I take that back because HE is justifying the puzzyfoot push by JI.

Tentoglou wasn't challenged at all. It was very one-sided.
He literally did 1 good jump and then just sat around for 1 hour and then he was handed Gold? There should be some back-and-forth and "forcing" to use him more of the attempts he has than just doing 1 good jump and then chilling until it's over.
Jakob Ingebritsen leads the last 2/3 of the 1500, wins with a clear margin of victory; gets DQ for being pushed into the cones in the first 100m of the race.
Very interesting to me is that both Koster and Bahta could not make the podium in the 3000.
All newcomers up there.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
