How big is Jakob in person?

This is a strange question. Jakob is only bigger in person if you expect him to be smaller.

they don't call him white shaq for nothing

He's normal size.

About 60 feet tall

Camera tricks make him appear a more normal size

Truly a freak talent

If you saw him at a wedding, for example, he would, if anything, appear to be a reasonably tall and skinny dude.

In real life he is actual size

he's stand bigger with his shoes on

What's 'normal size' to you?

No bigger or smaller than on TV.

he looks "bigger" on the start line next to waif-thin bird-like east African phenotypes. However, in person I am sure he is quite "small" compared to the vast majority of people.

According to a Norweigan Podcast "Breaking Marathon Limitis"
Jakob Ingebrigtsen weighs 74kg(163Ibs) to his height of 187cm (6ft 2in) wich equals a BMI of 21.
Everyone can see that Jakob Ingebritsen is lean, but has a fairly high muscle mass compared to many others athletes. I always find it fascintating to see when Jakob pulls away from the field without looking as he was putting in some extra gear. Everything looks so smooth! Better to have more muscle mass to generate power in every stride than the opposite.

Jakob is a pretty buff dude. Nice round muscles. Eats a lot of eggs.

norweigan GOD JAKOB is big in person but even bigger in ENERGY.

He is BIG, Buildings shake when he walks down the Street. LOL

I read that he’s 6-1. It looks to me, in the video I’ve watched, that he looks 5-9 or 5-10.

It’s hard to believe he is supposedly as tall as Evan Jager, who looks much thinner and taller in race videos and photos.

He's about the same size as those statues of Our Dear Leader in North Korea.

apparently Ingebrigtsen is 6'1 / 185cm. on recordings he looks like he's 5'6 to 5'7 / 167-170cm and not much more.

to contrast, Eliud Kipchoge looks 5'10 / 178cm in recordings, but I watched him at the boston Marathon and he is in fact 5'6 like google says

I ran into him at the Portland airport the day after the World Championships. He was bigger than I imagined, not even in my wildest dreams.
