Pretty incredible to be the fastest outdoor mile ever on US soil.
Is his name pronounced "Jakob," or "Jakob"?
Quite deceiving, not even worth sub 3:30.
While he was in low 3:27 shape 2 weeks ago...

Yes
Does not look like he can beat El Guerrouj record.

Looks like Gentleman Tim will never be in sub 3:32 shape again.
10th on all-time list now for Jakob, pushing out Bernard Lagat.
Sifan Hassan did 14.27 yesterday, it’s clearly not a given that they keep their fitness in the weeks after olympics
4 seconds off El G record.
Very deceiving.
In my opinion he was physically there, but mentally his Gold Medal got to his head. Hopefully he doesn't go the Cheptegei path after setting the WRs and just think he's the best in the world, so no more " chip on the shoulder".
Yawh-cub and Jacob are both fine.
But if you’re being respectful to him it’s the former.
Before thinking El G. one should think Morceli first.
El Guerrouj was behind Morceli when this one set a mile WR in 1995:
Give him some time. He's only 20.
4 seconds off El G record.

1.) Ingebrigsten is only 20 with plenty of upside.
2.) I don't think his family will let that happen. They've all contributed to his success.
3.) Anybody seen Centrowitz? Fast, honest pace and once again, he's not in it.
Daddy knows best
Centro a bum. Probably could’ve taken a second or so off his time if he shaved some more racing lines on the side of his head, I’m sure it will be something he can incorporate into his next overhyped race preparations.
el geurrouj didn’t break 3:30 for 1500 until he was 22. He ran his 3:26.0 at 24, and then 3:26.2 again when he was 27 in that awesome lagat battle.
Jakob is 20 and has TONS of upside and time to improve his speed. his 12:48 endurance is already magnificent.
Jakob still tends to turn on his kick from 300 out while El G would turn the burners on as far as 500 out. Jakob needs to improve his comfortability moving at that brutal 53-54 second lap speed from farther out.

El G and Morcelli were the two kicker before 600 last meters even 800m for the case of El G.
Yea so it was almost midnight in Norway when they ran the Bowerman Mile. Unlike Tokyo, he didn't have the time to acclimate to time shift. This is why it's only 3:47 best in US Soil instead of 3:44 or 3:45. US is not time zone compatible for world records unless it's Olympics which could get several weeks of acclimation.

At WORST he's the second greatest American miler all-time.
