This figures. Still, he had a very good year overall. Indoor world record, DL win, contention. And ultimately, what a class individual, big smile even in defeat and disappointment, great competitor.
Poor performance with a cold is oftentimes mental. If you allow yourself to lose confidence and have a bad attitude, poor results may be inevitable. The toughest runners don't wane in performance when sick. They are used to handling adversity well.

That makes tons of sense. Below-par respiratory system would probably have 0 impact on an endurance athlete's performance. Yup.

Having the right mental attitude while you have a cold is good thing, however, you would stupid to think it has 0 affect on your performance... having a cold obviously would have less of an affect than lets say the flu or covid but you absolutely are not able to perform as well when you are sick.

It’s still hard to quantify. In Zurich, he was about 1.5 seconds from running a great race, Was the difference a result of having a cold?
In my experience, you are always worse with a cold, but you can still race pretty well on the first day or two of the cold but then have no shot for quite a while afterwards. Recovery is slow and it takes a couple weeks after onset to race well again.
Really weak stuff to toss an excuse out after losing. Even if it’s true he should keep it to himself.
Other people like info on why they think things went wrong. How you take it is up you. Jacob fans loved having an excuse for why he lost. Yared feels like he is just hearing is experience and not throwing a pity party. You are free to feel however you want.
I always wonder how many of the choke jobs we talk about you would feel differently about if you knew the details. I know the kid we expected to win states came in 6th and some people thought he was a choker. The ones who knew he had a 101 fever 3 days earlier saw him as a gamer….

I’m a Jac(k)ob fan and I didn’t even hear the excuse. What one did he make?
