El Gooch went thru his WR around 1:51.5 which is what Jakob asked to go through. I’m not saying he’s getting it, but do you think he’s TRYING to. He hasn’t announced anything.
Is Jakob going for WR? Pace suggests so.

Where did you hear this from

In the press conference they said 1:51.5 is the 800m target for Sowinski. I took it as 800 not 880 yards. I think the target is more 3:44-5 though due to a) lack of a second pacer b) acknowledgement from Jakob that the wind on the backstretch will require some luck for the final two circuits. But Jakob likes to negative split so I don’t rule anything out.

Yeah if there's no pacer through 1200 then I don't see it

Which of course nullifies all of his braggadocio about how he is the pacer. Talk about a pretender.

They mentioned it in their post press conference show today. Apparently there wasn’t much access for reporters to ask questions so there wasn’t a ton to talk about but still a good 25mins:

He might as well take a shot at it if the weather is decent. Even if he fades he'll probably still hang on for the European record.

Basically every time he steps on the track is now a world record attempt.

He said several times that he planned to attack the 1500 record in stages, in lieu of taking it down when his personal best is far removed.
The same likely applies to the mile.

Jakob is actually the second pacer for Nuguse, just like Jakob was Kerr’s pacer in Budapest

My prediction: Jingy 3:42.80, and the site crashes.
As a slight aside, is the following the correct current usage of Letsrunese?:
Gjert - Gingy
Filip - Fingy
Henrik - Hingy
Ingrld - Iingy

30 years ago Morceli ran 3:44.39 at age 23. I think with all the advantages Jakob has and possibly being at his lifetime peak for the mile, you are probably correct that he can dip under 3:44. People talk about the weather. I do believe if he is running under a hot sun it could slow him down like .5 of a second. And maybe the Goose can run 3:46.65 or so.
