Jakob Ingebrigtsen may not run the 5000m

Poor loser. Even if he does have a sniffle a bigger man wouldn’t mention it right now.

Hahahaha what a chump. Crybaby! Poor lil guy has himself a cold! Explain why he’d lead in 56 if he feels so poor. Because his ego has obscured reality.

That's what happens when you get stressed. Best to adopt the Usain Bolt method and stay relaxxxxxxxxxed mon

Terrible if true. He got beat last year and still came back in the 5k, so I don’t think it’s some BS excuse.

Stress causes devastation to one's physical health immediately unfortunately

Jakob is trying to pull a Kersee. Nobody with a brain believes it. He gave an excuse for losing today is all.

He might have caught COVID, there has been a huge spike.

He saw what Katelyn Tuohy did after her 4:11 and her 5,000 DNS and decided to follow suit.

This is possible. I live only 2 hours from Budapest and half my workplace has come down with this new Covid variant in the past few weeks.

You should say sorry to me. Bragagna gave the news that he was skipping the 5k and nobody trusted in what i reported. Tonight Bragagna confirmed the news he gave during the 1500m batteries and now you all come up with that. Probabily he wasn't right regarding the injury but he was right regarding he was skipping the 5k.

Maybe Kipleri was right

Congratulations! You just won POST OF THE WEEK!

Nope.

You said injury. A cold is not an injury. AND he may still run the 5000. You were not right about anything.

I didn’t agree with all the Covid idiocy and I’m as far from woke as it’s possible to be. However, there are definitely new Covid strains around the Budapest region at the moment. I’m only 2 hours by car away, and lots of people have come down with it recently. My closest coworker is still sick with it (yes, still testing too). She lives just outside Budapest and commutes to our workplace.
It’s basically a pretty bad cold that knocks one out for a week or more. If he’s caught this (like many people I know in the past few weeks), then it would mean he wasn’t in top shape tonight and definitely wouldn’t want to start in the 5000m. Bad luck if so.

I think he has past his peak this year.
Simply put.

He is more resistant than someone like Katir but his weakness begin slightly appearing after the semi-finals.
