lol it literally is though. Tefera turns "20" this year. Look at the official results.

Jakob = CLEAN dominance. Hugely impressive. Best legit 1500/5000 runner in the world.

You guys have issues. Accuse the man of EPO one day then when someone beats him they are clean.

Jakob FTW. It will be team Ingebrigtsen vs Tefera and I think Tefera will be blocked by the Norwegians and forced to run wide. The only way he is going to win is if it's fast from the start and he runs another 3:31.

I called it. What do I win?

Except it is

no, it isn't. tefera is 19

I'm loving these nose-breathers finishing track races.

Dude all your posts are dedicated to defending cheating African juniors, Italian EPO peddlers, and so on. This is LetsRun, not LetsCheat.

Congrats to Jakob.

Jakob does it!!!

Props to Tefera for actually trying to push the pace. I thought he would be content to sit and kick but he was vulnerable trying to run from the front.

Berega and Tefera look pretty good when they run behind Kejelcha for 97% of the race.

Correct. Just about the only thing I’ll agree with you on.

Exactly what I said. You don’t need to be on EPO to follow a tall runner for 1450m at your PB pace and then pass them at the last moment. Jakob could have done that for sure.

Some posters here are actually insane. When an Ethiopian runs a great time he’s doping, but when he loses to a White guy FOUR DAYS later then the White guy is clean!

How about we go back to my original hypothesis: neither are doping, Tefera is a great athlete who had a perfect race set up for him to run a fast time.

Jakob is a great athlete who ran a tactically excellent race and beat Tefera who is in great shape because Jakob is also in great shape and capable of running similar times if he had the opportunity.

Coevett you know NOTHING about athletics. I bet you are now going to tell me that the EPO wore off or something hahaha

Bragging rights.

Samuel Tefera was itching to go past the second pace maker for a long time, and he should have. He got slowed down a lot and let everyone else get back to him.

Guys, I’m very happy with the result of this race, but a lot of people posting here don’t seem to realize the impact that a world record run like Tefera’s can have on the body. It’s likely that he is still tired from that monumental effort merely 4 days ago, and hasn’t fully recovered yet. With that said, fantastic performance from Jakob, who continues to amaze us.

hahahaha how much mcdonalds did you eat to blow that out of your as$? all of my posts are dedicated to what? and I can't name a single "italian EPO peddler." I post a lot about soren knudsen and lukas verzbicas though, as they are my favorite runners.

Hilarious that one of your "favorite runners" was a grown ass adult running against high schoolers. You can't even manage to root for the right white guys. The keks are top.

Not a junior. Turning 20 in 2019. You just watched a WJR. Not that it's such a big occasion that you should care. But you're wrong.

SO confused by this... wrote:

So who the hell is Parsons going to affiliate with?? Pretty sure he is supposed to be registered with the IAAF as a German athlete if he is going to compete for them, BUT I am not the expert on this matter.

And, he wasn't even part of the race on this one...huge gap back to him. Germany is welcome to keep him. I like our chances with our crop of 1500 guys over him.

Parsons will represent Germany at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow next month. He and Amos Bartelsmeyer will run the 3k there. On club level, they are both affiliated with LG Eintracht Frankfurt.

Jakob will win Tokyo.

Hell, if drug testing gets more stringent he won't even have to contend with Tefera, Manangoi, Potatoes, etc by 2020.

Ric flair woo is nothing but a some kid trolling, no one actually believes Tefera is 19.

Soo if Tefera is on EPO... and Jakob easily passes him for the win... what does that mean??

That without his EPO, Tefera wouldn't even be in the same race as Jakob?

.

So let me clarify:

You are now insinuating that your opinion that Tefera is on EPO actually has nothing to do with his performance a few days ago? Jakob can beat him and Tefera can only keep up BECAUSE he is on EPO? So what you are saying is that Africans can only keep up with White runners if they take drugs, because it is assumed that the White runners are superior to the Africans by default?

You have a White runner who beat an African in a race, and your thought process is that the only reasonable conclusion is that the African must have been doping to have even a CHANCE of matching the White guy?

VERY interesting.

hard to make an argument about someones age when you have ZERO supporting evidence and are known for making false age cheat allegations for other runners

Tefera is probably capable of a 3:41 clean. Aged 25 years or so.

Jakob is simply a better athlete.

The gap becomes closed when EPO is introduced into the mix.
