People here were nutting themselves when German Fernandez ran 4:00.x/8:34.x for a 1600/3200 outdoor double. Both of Jakob's times are intrinsically better (worth around 3:59.x and 8:30-31), and he is 1) younger, 2) running indoors in early February, and 3) apparently solo so not even sure if he was trying that hard without video evidence.
People here DGAF since Jakob's not American?
The majority of visitors to this site are American. Of course they're going to be more excited about an American kid performing well. Why on Earth would you think otherwise?
Fair enough. I'm Norwegian American so excited the old country finally has some distance talent. Good to see a sprint talent as well in Warholm, 45.59i is a nice time for a flat 400m runner even. German's 3:55i was insane (younger than Webb?), really thought he could have gone on to be a world beater.
