No doubt in my mind that Jakob is one of the best distance runners ever. But in terms of world championships, medals, wins, etc over the last 3-4 years, he is certainly not the best at backing up his talk.
After his humiliating loss at Paris 2024 and upset at 2023 WC, if he loses one more time at this year's WC, I think we should just stop considering him for any future medals at this point. Only WR's where conditions are set up exactly for him to thrive with pacers, wave lights, etc
