Yared MF Nuguse is a WINNER now - 3:29.21; Kerr 5th in 3:31.46

thoughts

Today was his day.

Kerr has lost two of last three to Ingebrigtsen !!! Kerr is washed !!!

Kerr is cooked!

Happy for him since he never seems to get the big win. Hopefully this gives him the confidence he needs. It’s even sweeter since he beat Jakob.

If only his peaks came during global championships!

You could see from the start that he wasn’t going to just sit back and let others dictate the race. He positioned himself right away in a place from which he could win. This was a huge step for Nuguse!

He ran sub 3:28 at the Olympics. That was his peak.

kerr certainly getting some deserved end-of-season hate. his peak season did not live up to the billing

but jakob losing to Kerr, Hocker, and now Nuguse!??? unreal. jakob living his best next-guy life right now

or troughs of his competitors

love this phrasing lol. going to start using "trough"/"troughed" regularly

In what universe is sitting on someone for 1480 meters not letting others dictate the race

The commentators were saying Jakob was sick and that's the only reason Yared won

Jakob has several DL wins (including a 3:26), a gold medal and a 3,000 meter world record in a summer after a sub-optimal buildup.

Kerr has a silver and a DL win after apparently perfect buildup and perfectly timed training.

This game is getting old. Jakob is putting up LeBron James-style numbers (which, sure, includes some losses, but that's sports)

Jeez, the number of upvotes on this shows the number of clueless casual fanboys on these boards. As any actual 1500m fan knows, this is completely untrue- Kerr has beaten Jakob in three of their last four races. Regardless of who you prefer, let's stick to reality please.

This wasn't an "MF" performance. He won a DL again. Brilliant.

It's down the drain from here on for Kerr. This was his peak season. He'll be a neat little footnote though from the Jakob era as someone who raced with the legend.

Took scalps

Where are results?
