Yes, stating facts which you don't like means stupidity for you. That's well known, Dumbstrong.
Elliotth has lost many races during his prime 1960 - 1962.
Against Albie Thomas in the 2 Miles.
Against Brian Hewson, Mike Rawson, Tony Blue (many times), Peter Snell, George Hack, Ron Delany and some more in the 800m/880y (AAA, regional champs...)
Against lesser knowns in the 1000m.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen definitely so far is the best at age 22 from 1500m to 5k. Who is just close to him? For me that's a solid basis to have a shot at his very umbigious goal as to become the GOAT in distance running. Extremely hard to be successful in this, but he has some serious chance.
