        Nah. You know that isn't true. He'll likely be the only real junior in the top 15, as everyone knows Kenya and Ethiopia and the rest of the Africans will send guys well over the age limit while officials will pretend not to know or notice.

      • 3:31 for 1500 is REALLY good for a Junior ANYWHERE, add to the fact his father said he can already break an hour for the Half Marathon, meaning he has endurance in addition to speed, yes he can win, he may even be favored.

        Who cares? Jakob should be in the masters race already anyway. Very soft move for him to play around with the children.

        This.

        However, if someone can beat 31 years young runners is Jakob. As he has already beat Seniors.

      • Bad race????😂😂😂. He is just not good enough, maybe in the weak europe where he can win Gold medals. In senior world's he will be a nobody as Kenya get their usual 1, 2 finish in the 1500m, 5000m????😂😂. Please guys stop with this threads, "will he win XC?", "will he win world's?" 😂😂😂. Just overrating a non factor as usual.😂

        In what world is a double European champion with a 3:31 as a 17yo overhyped? Just a bizarre statement.

      • Probably due to the fact that this thread was started about him when he had no chance of winning this race.
