Jakob chugs almost an entire 32-oz sports drink in 6 seconds during interview

are you the guy on truesteamachievements?

Jakob is sponsored by that brand

but will it affect his recovery?

More importantly, he predicted he will get the WR. Also, I'm impressed that someone properly spelled affected.

I'm an old hand.

He’s obviously training for another beer mile at the end of the season.

It’s more like 12 ounces total. Not 32

Not even 16

It takes a lot of dope to fill you up to the GILLS

It's crazy how comfortable scandianvians are with english. here's a guy who spent his whole life in norway basically fluent in english, bantering with an interviewer in perfect (slight accented) english

English and lot of the Scandinavian and Nordic languages are all Germanic languages.

Just like French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Portuguese, etc. all stem from Latin.

That's irrelevant.

He speaks English because Norwegians learn it in school. Has nothing to do with the root language.

You're right.. He's European so it's measured in ml.

That is impressive. I believe this is a European record. Only Hicham El Guerroj, Corey Bellemore, and "Chuggin" Willy Willis have recorded faster times.

It was unbearably hot/humid out. I drank a whole litre of sports drink after working the meet, and I didn't even compete.

He was really sweaty after he finished. He probably sweated more than what was in that bottle.

It's pretty crazy that Jakob won't admit that he does worse in non-paced races. I guess this positive (but bordering on delusional) mindset is something great athletes in other sports have too (golfers come to mind), but at some point it might hurt Jakob to not recognize that his front-running strategy is much harder to pull off in championships.

That drink is pure blue dye

you think your norwegian would sound this good if you "learned it in school"?
