ETHIOPIA GOES HOME DEVASTATED

Jakob living rent free in Ethiopian’s heads! What an epic weekend for him to exert his dominance over them.

Just like how Jakob is Great Britain’s (Scotland’s) B*tch? TWICE!

Also, Kejelcha got boxed in by Bekele with about 150 to go so he had to made up all the grown. Did you see how close that was? Or how close Neguse was yesterday? Scream about Jakob’s dominance again when he can run away from people and not have to keep looking behind his shoulders and then make up an excuse about being sick when he loses.

you know he's living rent free in your head when you can't stand to see him succeed

Kejelcha had plenty of opportunities to get a better position. He could have taken the lead and broken the wind for everyone.

If Jakob came into this race fresh, it would not have been close.

If this race prove something it's that Jakob is not better than Kechalja in pure miler.

By the way your name is ironical.

You dont know how level of retard human being you are.

Under Level 0

Insulting/generalizing...

Your Jakob is a non natural runner but a fabrication of millions of $$; just look at the level reached by Yared Nuguse.

Jakob is exploiting a gap that is beyond a lot of poor African countries.

I think aregawi has better endurance that Yacob. He just needs to peak at the right time. He hasnt put together a decent season. because his coach is a moron. but if he teams up with hagos and whoever trains kejelcha.. the three are going to spank yacob in the 5. This was a major confidence boost for those guys. Fast race ... we can catch him on the line. its razor thin.. but the double will not be easy after rounds.

He might not have won the 5000 given how close Kejelcha was in a 3000, granted he did run 3:43 the day before

It should not have been a 3,000. Kejelcha needs to seize the lead at 400 to go. His moronic pass Jakob and then let him go right by your inside maneuver lost him the race.

Jakob running 3:43 yesterday is the only reason Kejelcha had any chance at winning.

I wouldn't dispute that at all.

By the way, Kejelcha admitted his tactics for Worlds were awful in his post-race comments. Hopefully he remembers that in Paris:

"I think I made a mistake in the World Championships. I corrected that, I’m improved myself and very well target today. I should have gone out with 7 or 5 laps to go because I was in a very good condition, but I didn’t make that. That’s a very big mistake."

The only way to beat Jakob in a 5k is another Bekele/Geb type talent. Once upon a time people thought Barega or Kejelcha could be that.

Also, Ethiopia must go from taking the top three 5k times to an unpaced trials race for picking their team. Ethiopia is always going to have a handful of very fast 5k runners, but you need to find the three that are the most versatile for the best shot at medals and a chance at beating in beating Jakob
