all Norwegian papers (nrk, vg etc.) are reporting that he is dropping London. According to his press advisor he needs more time to recover properly. No info on any setbacks or anything concrete about his progress
Everyone who (rightly) pointed out that Jakob had no chance of medalling was downvoted by you know nothings. You spent a month hyping this guy up, now you don't want to talk about it?
Hey he put it on the line and was clearly far far from race shape… but he showed up.
That's not what everyone was telling me for the last month. They kept telling me how he could easily run and win the Diamond League final, and beat Kerr and Hocker at Worlds who suck. Now it's "at least he showed up"?
And the way some here always sing Jakob from morning to evening. Who's laughing now? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣The same way he'll see dust in 5000M. He should just pack his bags and go back to Norway.

I went through the same. Every time I posted out it would take a miracle for him to even medal, never mind get through the rounds, I’d get hammered with downvotes. On the flip side, I’m actually glad Berardelli’s latest high responder, the 23 year old teenager, tanked. His whole season has been a cruel joke.
Jakob I. out and looking terrible, OH MY the SHOCK of the games! He will probably be a non factor in the 5,000m as well! I've never seen him looked so devastated, not even as a 16 year old in his first world championships. He needs to call it a year and get ready for next year. I am not sure why his team let him come only to be embarrassed! SHAME ON THEM! He needs a new coach besides his older brothers! Papa I. sitting at home laughing!

Longtime Jakob hater here, but I don't even feel the need to dunk on him. He clearly wasn't close to ready but he still wanted to show up and give himself a chance, which deserves props. Injuries suck.
The utter delusion of his fanboys on here was something to witness though. People really convinced themselves he was in world record shape and it was all a ruse to trick his opponents. Lmao
well actually I don't think so even though I don't like Kerr. For someone as confident as Kerr, I think he would love to beat his rival fair and square on the track rather than cheering for him doing badly.
