I love how they trigger people. Keep at it Jakob and Gjert. Thanks for making the sport interesting again.
No more super slow and kick debacles like the 1500 in Rio
No more saying we can’t beat the East Africans because they have more “talent.”
No more distance runners and their coaches lacking personality.
Jakob has just begun to turn the distance running world upside down. Getcha popcorn ready haters!!!
Who's we?
There is a reason you do not see many East Africans paying that much attention to the 800m and the 1500m, plus that ridiculous American obsession, the mile. There is just not that much interest.
In addition, other than this overrated individual and mediocrities like ...that American who recently took an attempt at their mile record... who else do "you" have taking on the East Africans? Chelimo? Athing Mu? Hassan? Guess what, they are all East Africans! Or you mean the woman who took a bronze in the marathon? Does the ocassional marathon win or medal mean you've dethroned the East Africans -- even when the USA has more people that Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania combined?
