I would be prepared to welcome, Jesus, our lord and savior, on his prophesied return at last. In addition, I would recommend the temp in hell be checked for frozen ranges.
I think he can do it for the 5k and the 10k, he's not made any serious attempts at the record for those distances yet. I'm less sure about the 1500 because that would probably require a time trial race.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen easily wins the men's 1500m at Diamond League Silesia, becoming the third-fastest man in history in the metric mile. #NBCSports #TrackandF...
^That is nothing if not a time trial race. 3 pacers - 2 vets of the circuit and McSweyn, a 3:29 guy, + wavelight. Jakob is given the pole position and none of the other racers go ahead of him at any point. I see posters say he didn’t get good pacing because he was a few meters off the pace for parts of the race, but even then he would have gotten some wind-blocking and importantly had someone to chase, to pull him along. All the way to 1200m. And that gap he allowed was by choice, because it’s very important to him to not go too deep too early, so I don’t think we’ll ever see him go out in 1:48/1:49 like El Guerrouj or Kiprop. It may not have been a perfect setup, but it’s better than most have ever gotten and will be hard to count on any better.
