Anyone see Jake Robertson embarrass himself today?

What was more embarrassing was his mullet. Yikes!!!

I too find it embarrassing winning races

Cultural appropriation much?

They peaked with the Vice doco

a win is a win but that might be the most unsexy thing I have ever seen

I'm an embarrassed North islander

The man won. The fact that he is not american makes you all hate him.

winners are grinners; losers can please themselves.

Robertsons are typical backyard bullies, massive failures in meets of any substance.

They actually posted about being bullied themselves and how big an issue it is in NZ, so I am pretty sure this is not true.

The Robertsons are hated here because they spoke out about the problem of doping in Kenya.

Kiwi faced death threats

@nzherald

I can't name people or countries because I had some death threats a few months ago just for even mentioning the topic around the area.

You embarrass way too easily lol... So he did a crazy little victory dance for fun. And? I've seen far, far worse. I'm a proud Kiwi. No issues from my side!

dancing celebration aside, Robertson poorly split it 13:45/14:20 to just hold onto the win.

This is off the back of numerous poor performances from him and his brother. Now, I am a huge fan of them both but they seriously underperform too often, are frequently injured or ill, and then pick up wins at nothing races (like this or Crescent City Classic 10K) and act like they're on top.

I cant remember a good performance from either of them since Jake ran 60:12 2yrs ago at Houston. Outside of that, what has either done that was noteworthy since 2018?

The common theme I see on here is that either an athlete is underperforming and should throw in the towel or is over performing and must be doping. It would be nice to see people just happy for an athlete winning a race, regardless of the prestige. The last couple of years has been difficult for all athletes. Is great to see he's just competing again.

He did a dance called the Griddy that other athletes have done. It is a weird looking dance if you've never seen it before, sure. But he actually did nothing wrong. The people who criticize a winners celebration are the ones who've never won much or even at all in their lifetime. People say they don't want stoic athletes and then they complain when an athlete shows personality. That's a highly disturbing double standard. Good win for Robertson and nice celebration. The haters can continue taking L's and making posts.

1000%. Well said!

He must have seen that post on LR the other day asking why people don’t celebrate wins like they do in Soccer and Baseball

I don't mind the dance, I think it's kind of fun. At least it's something different. I don't mind the mullet although wouldn't pick it out as a great haircut, it's possibly a rural NZ or Aus thing. Surprised no one has picked on his arm warmers!

I remember hearing they were bullied.

It would be embarrassing if he finished DFL. The dance, not so much.
