Does this not make sense to anyone else? Jager admits that it has gotten old living in Eugene and having to share Jerry. He is now training on his own in Portland and is in the process of renegotiating his contract with Nike. I would say that it sounds like he’s on his way out if weren’t for the fact that he says “I've never had thoughts of leaving. Jerry is an amazing coach and the team is so good it didn't make sense." Thoughts?
Six athletes have left the renowned Bowerman Track Club since it moved to Eugene, Ore., from nearby Portland in July 2022, including three in the past three weeks. But Canada's Moh Ahmed and his new teammate Justyn Knight say...

What’re you talking about? He made the world championships team for USA only 16 months ago and was 6th in the world. You Americans are a fickle bunch with poor memory.

This is where intelligence matters. Evan will be 35 in March and he cannot seem to stay healthy. He is finished as an elite runner.

Team spends a decent amount of time at altitude camps, so it's not like living in portland vs eugene is a huge chunk of the year to be training alone. probably a lot of base work at this point. can always drive to eugene for a session if he wants
he's 35 in a few months in and olympic year and the final year of a contract - why shake things up?
No he did not have 7:56. He fell for a reason. How do folks like you not understand this?
This is why it is difficult to interact on this site. There are so many low IQs. So the winner of the race ran 7:58.83 and he had a nice finish whereas Jager was clearly tiring. Jager, if he hadn’t fallen, would have likely won the race, in maybe 7:57.5 or so. So you say he would have run 7:56 and your fellow morons all upvote you. Meanwhile the intelligent wonder what world you idiots live in.

He had 7:58-low, not 7:56. But, still, 7:58 is so much different than 8:00, it sucks…

Yes, 7:58 is a good educated guess. I was being generous with 7:57.5 and we are making educated guesses, as opposed to an uneducated guess of 7:56. And yes the fall was a bummer, and of course it was the 4th of July in Paris. But Evsn did have other opportunities to break 8 and he just couldn’t do it. So that was his best chance.
Physics must work differently on your planet if you think that fall only cost Evan 2 seconds. He finished in 8:00.45. The winner Birech was 7:58.8 and Evan had a two second lead on him going into the final barrier. At worst, Evan was 7:57-low but likely 7:56 mid-high.

Evan’s lead was less than 2 seconds. Not sure why you would lie about this. Plus you are assuming a clearly tiring (he fell) Jager would finish as fast as Birech. No matter how you slice it, Jager was not running 7:56 without the fall.

Anyone with functioning eyes can see that Evan jumped that final barrier at 7:47.1 and Birech was 7:48.9 at the same point. Fine, 1.8 seconds. 7:58.8 - 1.8 = 7:57 flat. Clearing that final barrier and perhaps glancing at the clock would've given Evan a huge burst of adrenaline to finish strong. So yeah, 7:56 mid-high. But keep hoping no one watches the replay so you have a chance of being right.
