A DEEP DIVE INTO THE DATA BEHIND JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN'S PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC 5K GOLD MEDAL RACE 

You might be right, but we won't know for a while, and it's a bit hyperbolic seeing as Kerr is already a World Champion. Kerr is a late bloomer and it will be interesting to see how the 1,500m races develop over the next year. I would also like to see Kerr try the 5000m. He ran well in the 2 mile before the Olympics. I also think Jakob has the ability to break the 1500m world record, I don't think Kerr does. What do you think?

If you must. Josh doesn't run the 5,000m. Jacob is fantastic at running fast races with pace makers in one off races. Not, like the Olympics where there are 3 races for the 1500m. Anyway they are all running against each other 5 September Diamond league and other Diamond league meetings. So we will get to see how it all unfolds again. Jacob is the fastest, but Josh has a good/better finish and Cole has the best finish and finishing 400m of all of them. Should be enjoyable to watch.

If that were the case he wouldn’t bomb down the first half of the 1500 at sub world record pace. Very taxing on the body.

Yea he made a mistake during that race, he even admitted it, he was trying to get the WR.

Unfortunately he got his tactics wrong for the 1500m and hit the wall 100m earlier than normal and that's why other 3 sailed past him. Plus there were 3 rounds of races for the 1,500m. For the 5,000m Jacob got his tactics perfect, good job.

Think everyone takes 5k gold over 1500 silver anyday

@@jkdurebut he didn’t win silver, 4th..

Yeah, after the epic fail in the 1500, the 5k win is almost an afterthought. But he's still a great champion.

@@clarkemcclymont2879already one gold once…adding gold in 5km is better than winning 1500m silver once. Also, your opinion and mine are …meh
