At least there was some spectators in the stadium tonight, even if they were mostly Ethiopian 'migrant workers' let out for the evening by their Arab slave owners.

The hate on this board for Jakob is insane..... Especially from the brojos themselves. He's literally the most exciting thing in distance running right now. Do you prefer to see the Afro-Italians win again and again?
The hate is precisely because people make outlandish statements like him being the most exciting thing in distance running or an all-time great.
and that would be correct. How many of these 5000 finalists are going to be a serious threat in the 1500 in a few days... just like Jakob was in the 5000? None. Idiot!! How many have done this type of double at 19??
Jakob is the greatest thing in track right now. Period!
Judging by how everyone suffered at the good but not super fast pace, it was really the heat that was the biggest factor. It's still 75 degrees and humid in there.

Noah Lyles is the greatest thing in track right now, period. Sifan Hassan could win 3 or 4 distance events if they didn't fall on top of each other.
Calling Jakob the saviour of the sport is laughable and is going to get him ridiculed. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Jakob haters aren't too smart. Jakob becoming the first European born superstar for decades would rescue this sport, and ultimately mean far more $$$$ coming into athletics, feeding Kenyan villages, and multiplying the Brojo's Ad revenue.
Likely everyone who.beat Jakob today was doped, and he just turned 19. The tards gloating over a clean teenager coming 5th in the world against a mostly doped field are truly sick in the head.
We are trying to kill off the 5000m & 10000m. We do not need Jacob Rocky Balboa generating excitement in 5000m. We're killing it off. Those fellas in charge of T&F over 100 years ago when T&F decided to race 5000m & 10000m on 400m track did not know there would be a need for television commericals ever seven minutes. Five and 10 are boring to watch and boring to race on 400m track except for final 900m. We'll place all these exciting athletes in 3000m. If one is good as a 5000m runner, they can be good as a 3000m runner.

Right. Everyone can relate to being a kid groomed by their dad to run in world class track meets in Europe as a teenager.
Or do you mean because he's white?

More like a guy with a close-knit family, hott gf, and enormous running talent.
Sounds like my experience as a teenager.

I'm highly skeptical of an 18 year old who runs 13:00 off his family's "special training." Norway has had a doping issue in other sports for a while.

He's 19 and its typical racist jealousy of someone who has more potential and will likely stay in the sport longer than his geeky, elderly counterparts. Jakob isn't yet old enough to have fully reached his endurance potential.
Have you even been to Norway? The gene pool is insane. It is full of good looking, muscular, strong, fit and athletic people. Tough people too since its far north and cold. Its literally full of the most beautiful people in the world. And considering the proportion who run seriously per head of the population compared to Kenya and Ethiopia, they're more successful too. There are only 5 million people there.
Nothing but jealous racism but ask 9 out of 10 women who they would prefer - Jakob/Filip/Karsten or any of those guys who finished top 3 in the 5000m and its always gonna be the Norwegians.
As a Canadian I was wanting Ahmed to win and I was frustrated by Jakob running into him three or four times.
That being said, you idiots being so gleeful about a teenager failing (if finishing 5th in the world as a teenager is failing) are pathetic. You probably also celebrated Mary Cain’s challenges. Strange psychological reaction to me.
"It's racist jealousy to criticize a Norwegian - they are the superior race!"

I'm not a Jakob hater, but it's stupid to think he'll do anything more to "rescue" the sport any more than Dieter Bauman did. Everybody remember those glory days when a white guy won a gold medal?
I remember Lasse Viren
Peter Snell
Herb Elliott
Vlad Kuts
Lots of white guys win medals. And White women.
Saying that Norway has had a doping issue is just flat out wrong. You can list the amount of Norwegian athletes caught for doping in the last years on one hand, and you can list the amount of athletes banned for severe violations with none.
I can't take anyone seriously who doesn't think that Therese Johaug is a sever doping case.
Replay of the 5000m race
Featuring
- Edris uber last 500
- Ingebrigtsen brother stoppingits race like a pace setter in a WC final
- Ingebrigtsen young diving to save his 5th place on the line
- Bekele , not kenenissa, finishing 4th almost completing a ethiopian treble

That's cute. But the fact that you won't actually answer the question proves what we know about you and Coevett.

How can using lip gloss, mistakenly bought by the team doctor, with no performance effect what so ever be a sever doping case?
That last 450 by Edris was something else. Do we have the splits?

And the Diamond League wants to get rid of that event? In what other event are there where there were like 6 real potentail winners.
Mega props to Jakob. Let's hope he gets a medal in the 1500 but he gave it his all. Had the lead, totally collapsed at the finish.
Jakob is careless and should have been disqualified in the semi. Glad the Canadian smoked him in the final stretch .
Why was the thread title changed .
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
