After today I honestly think Jakob could be similar to Mo Farah, can time trial a mean 1500m but his best championship ability is at longer stuff where he has the best kick. 10000m could be a bit of a stretch but I think it could work with his training.
While Jakob has already demonstrated he can get gold in the 5000 and the 10000 is a definite possibility, I don't think Farah could've won Olympic gold in the 1500.
I guess Jakob stays with 1500 as his main distance a couple of more years to come. I guess he wants the World record before he move up to 5000/ 10000 to be his main distances.🧙♂️🇸🇪
He's too big to be a 5k 10k guy.
It’s crazy how high the bar is set for this guy that an Olympic gold and two World silvers are evidence he should move up to the 5k. I do think it will be his best distance, but I’d like to see him run the 15 in Paris and Tokyo to see if he can win again.
