Jakob Ingebrigtsen Upsets Matt Centrowitz And Paul Chelimo! 

"Ingelbritsen", "Eagullbritsen", "Eengelbrettsen". Gave me a good laugh, being a Norwegian myself.

I absolutely love Jacob taking the inside on Paul who always cuts people off and forces them outside.

Get used to Jakob smashing all these US runners. He's already @ 3:28-1500---7:27 for 3k-4:50:07 @ 2k-13:02 -5k--all PAST race times----you guys will get to know his backside quite well.WR's are on his horizon. Team Ingebrigtsen is KING.

And three years later he wins olympic gold in the 1500m with a new olympic record of 3.28.32 (!)

It's amazing how far ahead Jacob was considering the last lap was only around 56secs.

He is 17 until September 19, 2018. A 17 year old destroyed seasoned pros. Future world record holder right here. His father learned from the mistakes from coaching his brothers now applying really good coaching techniques to get him to the top.

That kid is amazing. Also, can someone please tell me where the letter "L" is in that kid's last name? Maybe the commentators can inform me...

Nice job, kid. Tell them oldies to go “sit and kick” somewhere else. 😜

Thanks to the Flotrack monopoly on American Track & Field, I have become a big fan of Poland Athletics. I have had so much fun watching Jakob's progress.

And now Olympic Champ

Final 200 was around 27. That’s absolute wheels for a final lap of 56🔥

thank you for posting this race, plus one for flotrack!

I’ve been waiting for this video all weekend lol

Thank yu, I've been looking everywhere to see this race

Jakob Ingebrigtsen have just win the European Championship for senior on 1500 Meter at 17years old :O

Damn, Ingebrigtsen straight up EMBARRASSED that field!!

Awesome race! Ingebrigtsen ran that perfectly. Timed his kick just right.👍🏼 GO NORGE!!! 🇳🇴

Jakob is amazing! But also I’m very impressed with Chelimo. Before this, he was Olympic silver medalist in the 5K and I just didn’t expect him to move down in distance much after that. But he still had a pretty great race here, beating centro and everybody else. He also wasn’t afraid to take it out hard. Raced like pre would have.

Okay idc what running family you come from but how tf does a 17 year old beat an Olympic gold medalist and other D1 champions when this kid isn’t even in college yet lmao

Been waiting to watch this race

Finally, thank you FloTrack!

Thank You

impressive win . this man is a real kicker , he has talent , a big one ..good job

4:01 Yo. Is that the athlete special?

Well so few of the comments here have any relevance to what we're seeing in this video.... ie., an excellent run by a star in the making. However dumb the commentators sound with mis-pronunciations (wtf is fiddy-eight?) of the guy's name, Jakob will be Olympic champion this year...... I think hehe.

The pros almost act like it's against the rules to start kicking before the last 100m. That'll show em

You guys that comment in this thread claiming he can not win without drugs ? He come from a runners family , with a hard working dad who had an idea that their kids would become runners since age 10 . Hard training daily , he teached his kids to enjoy the training sessions and enjoy the pain . He teached his kids how to only eat healthy food. They want to do everything right because they are perfectionists. Their dad is the first one to say NO to drugs . It's not like in American sports where all the top athletes seem to think they need it. Besides in Europe they are tested regularly , and when I say regularly at least once every 2 weeks. Jakob is pure talent combined with very hard work , he should be the first in line to compete with the Kenyans and Afro American runners and get the world record in 2-3 years time.

Is it just me or was the last lap not even fast? I mean they were only running slightly under sub 4 mile pace even coming into it but it seemed like only Jacob could kick off that??

This guy just won the european championship of the 1500 m and the 5000 m. Future star of the sports for sure!

Absolutely slaughtered his last name and somehow couldn't even get his simple first name correct lmao..

What an exciting fast race!

this boy is strong, he should be the fastest non african middle distance in years to come

Wow! This kid is going places

INGELBRIDSEN????

He remembers me Jim RYUN in 1965, he was eighteen and hé beat The Olympic Champ of Tokyo, Peter SNELL.

Two years later he is the second fastest in the world and the eighth fastest ever, before his 20th birthday.

Quality run.

Sticking it to the Olympians!!

could u pleaseeeee upload josh kerr's ncaa record run

Loved the enthusiasm of the commentators. Maybe that's what made them forget or not learn to pronounce his name correctly. I'm sure this is just an oversight due to inexperience. I would like to hear the guys call more races.

Its bad that you give the results before we can watch it......But thank you...

Look at his knee drive in the final 100!

Nice run for Engelbretzen!

He SMOKEEEEEEEDDDD them

EngleBritzGen? love the announcer

His stride is huge

Jakob is the greatest middle distance runner since El guerrouj, his 3:43-4:43-7:54 insane

Great Job Jakob... Out Walking The Dog! On The Pro's 💥💥🏆💥💥

Gifted

Really shows that Centro has a hard time winning if you take the pace out fast. Doesn't look like he'll get much better at this distance either after looking at his yearly progressions. Might be time for him to move up in distance.

Nice i like it

I bet Jakob knew all the time that he is going to win this race. 3/4 of the race he was in last, well one before last and then wins by a big margin 😄👍

Jacob slapped the commenteters

Kid reminds me of Lucas Verzbickas... legend

Dude that good some nice hair ogm

“Straight up upset city” 😂😂

This ‘slow’ race what were the internationals doing? JI won in 3:39, 14 seconds below WR ( over 100 metres) . He has done 3:28.62.

This guy can’t even say his name right

The suprman's return!! The thor of marvels, the spiderman of the neighbourhood!! Weee

future world and olympic champ right there. sprinting down the world elite at 17

It really was a loaded field too damn

Was this the young man a yr or two ago who was the youngest to run under 4 for the mile? I think as a 16 yr old? Beat some top guys!

Don’t sleep on Eric Jenkins dude just came off of an Achilles injury and still got 3rd in a loaded field he would’ve won it in like 3:35 if he hadn’t got injured prior to the track season

Centro is over with.

Lmao that video title made me laugh for some reason

I don't know what to think after this.

How about that pacer!

Finally

Why did the first two stop running?

Who is Eaglebritzgen?

This is the first time I’ve heard Americans call pacers “rabbits”. Sounds ridiculous 😂😂

What happened to the dude with the hat

I think everyone is saying his name right now.

I have the same trainer as Ingebrigsten

“Here comes Chelimo!” Hahahaha

these pronunciations killed me punch by punch

Jakob post race “that was the easiest race ever”

Now Ingebrigtsen is the 1500m king

He's 17?

Be fair people. The commentators didn't know that they were looking at the greatest runner ever. They should be able to pronounce his name by now.

That was fast fun....wabbit was fast but Trix are for kids! Nice race...

Unbeliblevle

he just ran 3.36 solo in Oslo..

bravo a ts

Yo @FloTrack Eric Avila ran for Souther Oregon which is in the NAIA not DII. Be a little more professional next time.

Is it just me or does the guy at 4:01 look like the athlete specials long lost brother?

please stop putting the winner in the title

Isn't this the race that basically broke Centro's ego and ended his career.

LOL...love the kid.

Why do the commentators have to shout??

I feel like Centro wasn't really trying this race I feel he was just trying to see where he was at this meet

i always thought it was pronounced ya-kob rather then ja-cob

Why would anyone wear a t-shirt and backwards baseball cap? Nice race by Jakob I.

Ingle Britson

David ribich sent me a free T-shirt

👏🏼👏🏼

Do the announcers know there is no "L" in Jakob's name..? They continue to say "Ingelbrigtsen"... LOL

"Jay-cub Ingelbritson"

I’m out of breath just by watching this.

This and the Rio 1500 are good examples of why I don't watch 'open'-level track & field anymore; the runners just don't seem to make much of an effort any more. Its all about posturing and last-second sprints, using a 'rabbit' rather than developing the 'sense' to know how fast you are going, etc. And this race was in 2018, so no upcoming Olympics or World Championships meets to use as an excuse, either. I'd rather go watch a high school or college meet where the guys (and gals) are giving it there all every race.
