This makes absolutely no sense. 1. He lost 2. Someone has to be last coming into the straight. Someone always is. Someone always ends up last. He ended up second. He thought he'd won it, and he hadn't. Which tells me he ran the race he wanted, and it wasn't good enough.

Jakob I looked like he had a brain fart in the last 100. I think he froze for a period. He is a monster talent. I think he moves better than both the others. But I applaud the one with the porn star moustache. He fought harder than the other one.

Turns out "the other one" ran with a bruised rib in his back which made it very painful to breathe.. If not for his injury in the qualifier he would have won easily.

If anyone wanna know how they train, its basically all treshold workouts with religiously use of the lactate meter to make sure they are not running too hard.

How do you know this?

Common knowledge in Norway.

Two days with double treshold workouts (one long, one short) and one day with 20x200m hill reps. They've trained like this for many years, with little variation. It started with Henrik, he was the test subject, if you wanna call it that.

You are correct. People need to read the research on Henrik done by Leif Inge Tjelta.

They are doing the same workouts year in year out. Gjert recently told the papers that because of keeping their workouts the same every year they can compare very easily their fitness

The head of the organizers Klaus Hartz officialy appologized about the mistake. They didnt set the lap counter to 0. When Jakob run the last 40m he saw the counter on 1 lap remaining.... so start to accept he pulled the hand break for a reason... If he would loose cause of that, they would face some seroius consequence...

Thanks for sharing, good to know.

Really a stupid mistake.

Concerning age cheating: Norway has a well functioning civil registration, it is impossible that any of their citizens are age cheats (except for the "refugees" who very often lie about their age).

In Kenya, we know there is rampant fraud concerning birth certificates (cf. Obama).

Can someone translate this Into normal English? You know, the kind of English in which "won by 20m" means "crossed the finish line 20m ahead of every other runner."

Sorry guys, but I can't help but draw a comparison to Asbel Kiprop here, minus the ultra-freaky physique.

Does this scenario sound at all familiar? Guy goes from dead last with 600 to go to leading the race 200 meters later and then easily takes the win going away and not so much as a slight grimace the whole time. Upon winning there are no smiles, no tears, no celebration. He has more a look of "what have I done?"

Not saying he's cheating, but he sure ran like someone who is clearing lactate at a "not normal" rate.

Hey idiot. World class runners have much higher lactate thresholds than slobs like yourself. Yes, Jakob looked stunned. Which he admitted in interviews. He's 17. Of course he's stunned.

Don’t forget this board is littered with past and present world class athletes. There’s nowhere else for us to hide.

Anyway I’m not saying he’s cheating only that his performance reminds me of someone who did. The “world class runners” with “much higher lactate thresholds” were made to look like amateurs by this boy. He’s got at least 6-7 years before he should peak physiologically so it’s going to be fun watching the shows he’s no doubt going to put on.

Seriously? That's crazy!

What a race!!! He took control of the race, and just put it to them! Reminded me of the way Centro controlled things in the Rio final. Racing tactics of a runner well above his age! What a talent!

Bold front runner, brash. I crown him the modern day "Pre".

Great championship runner. The sport needs him...

Jakob has an incredible high lactate treshold.

Remember, thats their main part of their training. Theres been articles about him, where Gjert shows his surprise regarding Jakobs insane progress on threshold. They've also measured his stride in a lab with a Norwegian expert who claims Jakobs stride is extreeeemely efficient, never seen anything like it among runners.
