I thought Jakob would have a stronger kick
I’m excited for Paris
YES!!
Jake can't do all that talking and get spanked like that.
Love to see it - well done Josh!
Was it just me, or did it look Jakob held back that last 100?
Doesnt need the kick
lol
That was Kerrfect!
Yak to 5k.
Yes he was back.
And he will be back also in Paris. But hey, maybe he will snug on the podium for a bronze somehow.

I'm not a Kerr fanboy with all his trash talk but that was impressive. It's Jakob's job to shut him up if he doesn't like what he's saying and he couldn't do it today. Josh is the man, for now at least. I love the 1500/mile.
No it’s called getting beat you moron
If josh gets complacent in the slightest, he will not be prepared to take Jakob on in the Olympics. Jakob is in the middle of base phase…but props regardless to Josh. What an amazingly dominant performance from 600 out.
This is Josh Kerr's peak, on the other hand, this is Jakob's first race, he will continue to get a lot better a lot faster.
His lactate tolerance is low. He was probably aerobically fine but didn't have the legs to reel Josh in. You could tell by the way he ran, kind of like he was tying up a little even from the start. We'll see a lot of improvement later on this season when he sharpens up. Only time will tell whether it's enough though.
Congrats to Josh, I'm going to even give some credit to Jacob. For someone having not raced for so long he was able to beat the field and keep up with Josh, I thought the gap would be bigger but it's a good race back for Jacob. Hopefully he learned some humility.
Yared is rounding into shape as well he was hurting the last 400 but hung in there.
I'ld take a 3:45 mile in the first race of the season.
