Josh Kerr looked like a deer on ice in the 1500m

Better to be a deer on ice than a coward hiding at home in Norway.

Not when you are the one making the accusation about the other.

Kerr sort of admitted it last year when he said he wanted to get paid without worrying about "running fast" (and it showed today).

p.s. Jakob has an Indoor Worlds gold medal and two world indoor records (1500 and mile). That is hard to do if you are "hiding."

Jakob was hiding today. Neil Gourley ran world indoors with Jakob, and he raced the big dogs today in Kingston.

Jakob is training in the Sierra Nevadas

All the major championships that happened this year, Jakob showed up and won. Plus some nice WRs to go with. GST is entertainment, but at the end doesn't really matter.

Ah yes, just how Kerr will be “hiding at home” during every diamond league meet this summer”.

GST sucks it’s just a money grab, Jakob wants to break world records and get medals, i.e. what counts in the sport

World indoor double

european indoor double

WR x2

and European xc champ

all since Kerr last raced…

No disrespect to Gourley, but he is a journey man middle distance runner compared with Jakob, and the GST cash would make a difference to his annual income. Whereas it is chump change for Jakob.

And Brooks said that is fine with us. Here is a 10 year contract. He is barely relevant now, I’m not expecting much in 2035.

Kerr is an embarrassment.

One WC win and he’s been strutting around in his silly sunglasses, talking about himself in the third person and trying to cast himself as the main man.

He’s already faded. The Americans have got his number. Jakob will destroy him. He’ll never podium again.

This was actually not a bad performance for Kerr. OK DFL for the 1500 guys. However, from what we know his winter training was poor will illness and injury. Going into Millrose, he showed a video revealing he tanked his first workout due to a bad hip. His second workout he was better but was gassed as Henry Wynne gapped him as it went on. At Millrose, he DNS with a bug. So at most he’s had about 6 real weeks of training. So to have been in the mix not bad. However, the bigger issue may be he’s the lone top 1500 guy who didn’t have a great buildup/base. He might not get a whole lot better from here whereas Nuguse/Hocker/Jakob/Kessler/Laros all are primed to.

Jakob had to fly home after worlds to attend and give evidence in his dad’s trial. I don’t think the first meet was even an option

Anyone see a post race interview with Kerr and Gourley? Have only seen Cole‘s and Jared’s

The whole race was inadvertently paced by Hocker for Kerr, however, Kerr couldn't do jack all and still lose.

Never trust anyone who wears sunglasses at night.

Kerr running like a cybertruck drives.

Did Kerr stay for interviews? I’d like to know. Would be very telling…

Lol, you're going to get downvoted so hard for having a reasonable take about Kerr. The Jakob fans on these boards make Swifties look measured and sophisticated

What month is it? What event is this?

Ah yes, a meaningless run in April.

Wait until the summer and a real championship race
