Jakob is the 4th Best 1500m runner of All Time

apparently josh kerr is 3.5 then

You could argue Coe deserves to be 3rd, and Lagat with no Olympic titles should be behind Jakob. If there were World champs in ‘79 and ‘81, the hardware argument would be different.

He’s barely Norways best guy

O o o, look at me.

Butthurt alert.

No no no, I've still got this, and that, and have done this.

Narcissistic injury.

At this point there is no significant argument that Jakob is better over 1500 than Kiprop, Coe, Cheruiyot, Lagat, or Ngeny. He is almost certainly worse than El G and Morceli. Keino, Makhloufi, Ryun, Cram, Ovett, Elliott, Kerr, and Willis all have a claim to being competitive with him. Not to mention Wightman and Kerr of course. There are probably even more but there is absolutely no doubt that he is far from being the GOAT after this loss. Going home devastated indeed.

Coe is a lock for top 3. A good question is whether Ingebrigtsen has eclipsed Ovett and/or Cram.

Yeah I wouldn't disagree with that I was just thinking of Lagat's 1500m/5k double gold in 2007 I guess

He's barely Sandnes' best guy!

Yeah you guys are making good point he is not even a lock for top 5 LMAO.

Coe is number 1 with two Olympic golds.

Second successive World Championships in which no African medals. Paris and 2025 will be between Kerr, Wiightman, Jakob, Nordad,Laros, and after that Laros and Myers will probably dominate until 2033.

Morceli and El G would have been also rans without EPO.

Wake up. If we were back in the EPO era the top 3 tonight would be something like

1. Potato Tim 3:24.7

2. Katir 3:24.9

3. Nadar 3:25.6

Josh Kerr would be playing rugby for Scotland.

Of course he eclipsed Ovett and Cram. Where r their Olympic Golds?

As a huge Jakob's fan I want to argue against that but you're correct, damn. :(

Yeah keep continuing that Racist BS. Galen Rupp has more evidence against him than most of North Africans. Ramzi was caught in the 08 olympics and kiprop was also caught. Did things really change that much from 04 to 08. Or do yall just keep hating on North Africans.

Yeah as opposed to the 2 totally clean Norwegians from the same training group on the podium. Thank goodness for clean sport!!!

Where’s Ingebrigtsen’s 1500/mile WR? Those 3 are in the same tier at this point.

zero object permanence

The four 1500m best times of El Guerrouji:

1) 3'26"00

2) 3'26"12

3) 3'27"33

4) 3'27"34

The four Best times of Lagat:

1) 3'26"34

2) 3'27"20

3) 3'27"91

4) 3'28"50

The four Best times of Jakob:

1) 3'27"14

2) 3'27"95

3) 3'28"32

4) 3'28"57

Ingebrigtsen will never top neither the king or Lagat. He can't compete with those two in the 1500m distance.

Coe's achievements are way behind those of El Guerrouj and Morceli, it's not even close.

Mo Farah is the best Britannic miler of all times.

With paper and pen calculus.

3:28.81 NR (Monaco 2013)
