Things Are Not Looking Good For Jakob Ingebrigtsen 

Of course his Olympic record from Tokyo still stands 🙄 it can’t be broken until the subsequent Olympics

"And this record still stands today". from the 2021 Olympics 😂

1:19 "and this record still stands today". Lmao

It's impressive that the Olympic record still stands, 3 years after... wait that was the last time that a 1500 was run n the Olympics

1:20 "and this record still stands today" - well obviously!!! 🤣

Dang, I didn’t realize how loaded the 1500m, or the middle distance class was this year!

I think you should not forget George Mills, as he already ran a sub 13 and a sub 3:50 indoors, taking down world class competition. He has been an 800m runner all his youth so you can safely count on his speed and finishing kick.

Thank you for all your hard work. And for actually narrating your track and field videos

1:14; Hasn't been another Olympics for Jakob's Olympic Record to be broken :) 3 consecutive Olympic 400m Gold Medals (M&W) is up there too re level of difficulty!

Cole’s US indoor 1500 title was basically a carbon copy of his 2021 indoor NCAA mile win

Can you make an actual video addressing what’s known about his injuries and what he’s stated in more depth?

It will NOT be especially difficult for Jakob, it will be difficult for all of them.

I'm so glad you included Cole, Kevin! Hoping for a great season for him.

Seing Eliud Kipchoge in the top 10 list for the indoor two mile at 6:13 is craaaazy.

Sir Peter Snell retired and went on to tertiary education while still at his peak and wasn't available for 1968. He did back to back in the 800 in 60 and then 64 only racing the 1500 in 1964. He was a weapon with a resting heart rate in the 30's helped by a much bigger heart than the average man. If you're interested in his development, you can't underestimate the inspirational training ability of Arthur Lydiard who basically invented modern training methods. He was another Kiwi. He probably inspired Sir Peter in his career choice as well, because Sir Peter went on to be a pioneer in sports medicine, I believe.

its gonna be difficult for any of them. Not sure why we single out that point

I still like Jakob. He brings much excitement to the sport. I hope he wins the 1500 in Paris, but man, the competition is absolutely brutal.

Sucks because he’s clearly the fastest athlete in the 1500 by far but championship races aren’t about who is the fastest. I think regardless of if he wins the Olympic 1500, if he breaks the world record then there will be few people who will be able to come close to it for years to come. You say Neguse and Kejelcha were close, but Jakob won the races while leading them the entire time. The gravity of his performance was certainly leagues above the other athletes. He’s a generational talent, and you have to wonder if any of these athletes would be running as fast if not for the work he puts in.

Grant Fisher with 5:03 two mile, what a beast!

Sleeper pick Cameron Meyers is definitely in the conversation as well

post Olympics title: "I was wrong"

I mean the answer to the question "When was the last time an Olympic Champion when on to successfully defend their title" was Tokyo 2021 when Kipyegon did it

It's definitely not going to be easy for Jakob. Even without his difficult start to the season, championship 1500m races are not the ideal environment for his ability set. I firmly believe that Jakob would be able to run a faster 1500m than anyone, if he has sufficient preparation, but he would need to not be at the front of the pack for most of the race for that to happen and it would need a very fast, even pace. Without pacers involved that is not likely to happen in any championship. The best way I can see for him to run the Olympic final is to take it out so fast that no-one wants to go with and then hope he can hang on. There is a chance in that scenario that the pack let him get too far ahead and don't have time to catch him, especially if no-one else wants to be at the front of the chasing pack. The problem is that there are runners like McSweyn, who prefer to be at the front of a fast moving pack, so it's unlikely that the pack would be moving at a more tactical pace. This is kind of what Jakob has been doing in the past two WC finals, but it has not been fast enough to drop everyone. It would need to be almost suicidally fast and the problem there is that it's likely to be suicidal.

Yo these bots are crazy bruh💀

At 6:12 we see something amazing! Why are we not talking about Grant Fisher's time of 5:03!?

Love your vids man! Keep it up❤

Love and respect this channel

great video, this just makes the olympics games even more exiciting

Geordie Beamish is a candidate too after his splendid last 50 meters sprint at the indoors

That 5:03 2-mile time by Grant Fisher is really impressive.

Cole Hocker Baby!😎

A healthy Jakob is the favorite in the 1500 in Paris. I think his best event is the 5000. Goose will give Jakob a real challenge.

Your content is good, this is a really good breakdown of the early Olympic year form and what it might mean,so why do you need these misleading trashy click bait style titles? I was expecting an update on his injury, comeback etc. Surely a different way to frame several people coming into contention in Olympic year, something Jakob himself would surely expect?

Dude he is not defined by his losses. He will come back and prove you completely wrong

Love seeing Sebastian Coe smash it back in the day!

Grant Fisher's two mile time shows 5:03 :) haha @6:09

Ingie's Olympic Record_"This record still stands today". Of course it does...hasn't been another Olympics since genius!!

He shd forget about the 1500 and focus on 5000. 1500m finals are often tactical.

bots are crazy

I mean, the analysis here is good. But it’s also good to put things in perspective as a reminder. If you look at 2023, it was a string of world records and all-time top 4 performances, with only one loss in the entire season. It was the big one, but it was the only loss. On a good day, on paper, as of last summer, he was two seconds clear of everyone else at 1500m. But. That’s close enough for someone to take him on their own good day in a championship final. And that two seconds will probably be more like 1 second after this season. The rest are rising to the level of competition. He’s still a phenomenal athlete, but the truth is the competition is stacked in what is arguably his least natural distance on the track. At a 3:27 PB and age 23, he’d be crazy not to try a few years more to catch Guerrouj’s mark. He’s the best shot at it since Kiprop. But the 3000m, 5000m, 10000m, and even above are probably going to be where he will really shine.

If Jakob can run the race super hard near WR pace that's his best chance. You could have the top 3 all break 3:28 between him, Kerr and Naguse, with Hocker and a fully fit Whiteman in medal contention also. Anything tactical, I think Kerr has to be the favourite. Biggest event of Paris Olympics in my opinion, I can't wait!!

What do the different colors of jerseys mean? Athletes from many different countries wear similar jerseys, which do not seem related to any product endorsement. At the 2:09 mark, Jacob can be seen one of the now familiar “dotted striped” jerseys. Most athletes wear blue jerseys. One athlete can be seen wearing a jersey patterned in the opposite direction. Jacob is wearing a black one, which I think means he is either the world record holder or defending champion in this event. If you have not already done so, can you please do a video explaining the jersey colors and patterns?

It's obvious Jakob has caught a few real bad variants because he hasn't done that last 400 meter kick for some time and it's clearly evident. Honestly with this bio weapon it's a toss up of who can stay the healthiest leading into the race and some people respond worse to it than others. With the quality of runners that have shown prowess we should have dipped into a sub 8 minute 2-mile some years ago as these guys run 60 second laps in their sleep.

that was a nothing video. "this record still stands today" lol

My thoughts: Big question mark over Jakob, Olli and Whiteman. Really exciting to see what happens. Current favourites: Kerr, Goose and Kessler. Outsiders: Hocker, Nordas and don’t forget about rising junior world record holder Cameron Myers. Beamish is dangerous too should he decide to run the 1500 as well as steeplechase.

world lead in 2024 is going to be in the 3:26 - 3:27 range, could be Jakob, Kerr, or even Nuguse

gotta mention grant fisher for running 5:03 in the indoor 2 mile. possibility to win every distance over 1500m

"Doesn't have the raw sprinting speed" but runs 3:43 mile is insane

The Olympic 1500m could be a very interesting one with 2 from Scotland and 2 from Norway fighting for the medals.

He's won Two , back to back 5000m global titles in the World Outdoor Championships

Please list complete book of work for each runner. Would love to see the list of wins for each. Winning a single race doesn’t make you a winner, losing a single race doesn’t make you a loser.

Look out for who ever the 3rd British runner is.

10-minute TRP Jakob Ingebrigtsen video?? let's gooooo!!!!

Am from Norway and i oc root for Jacob, but he and his yes crew needs a shot of humble. Look no further than to Warholm, hes the standard of role model imo

Jakob. Yared. Nordas. Hocker. Kessler. Cam Meyers. Kerr. Wightman. McSweyn. Keter. Tefera. And so many more. It's going to be so good.

Did you get a new editor?

Good call on Hocker. He has a devastating kick and it looks like he could have the fitness to be there after 1200m.

Olympics ale unpaced. But I would say McSweyn usually works as an accidental(?) pacer in global 1500 events.

Great video, if he regains full health and fitness it will still be a challenge to win gold, in any case the final will be a real burner.

To win the 1500 it would be helpful for Jakob to race the 800 against world class competition a few times to improve his top end speed and get his leg turnover used to running faster since he’s still young.

Is a 5.26 40 yard dash on a wet field good for a 12 year old?

JACOB is the still reigning 5000 meter world champion that means something and he should focus on dethroning the east african runners once and for all and move on from the 1500 meters IMO.

As a Brit, i’d love to personally see Wightman win again, but coming back from injury, i really don’t think that’s happening. Now i’m cheering for Kerr all the way!

Exited this video at the mention of "smack talk"

Yarid is the only one what can run with him on a good day. Both the losses were on bad days for him. The other guys can come in and take it if he’s off, or doesn’t recover from doubling well, which is possible - but Yarid is definitely the only one in Jackobs stratosphere right now.

Everybody saying Kipchoge on a decline He just ran 02:02:40 and got first place in September, he’s just setting up for the Olympics

Yes, they were close, but he can´t pour the juice into one race, if he is going to compete in multi distance races days (or a day) apart like in your example WC. Did he not smash the field in his WRs?

Please make a video about the Olympic Trials!!

He is still the favourite despite all the postering about others. Favourite means all things considered odds are he will win. Sure others can win cause it’s sport and outcomes are uncertain. I wouldn’t bet against him. Others can do what they want.

Cole Hocker wouldn't be in this list if he were not American. He isn't a title threat.

How to improve distance running time

I think Jakob's strategy has to be taking the lead early and setting a blistering pace to hopefully pull far enough ahead that nobody can out-kick him in the final 200. But with the athletes in this field I don't think that's gonna happen.

I believe Kipsang from Kenya and Garcia from Spain are more of a threat than Hocker...they both have broken 3.30 which is what is going to take to win this...Hocker has not broken 3.30 yet...

3:29 mile is insane. A lot of people couldn't do that on a bicycle. Running at 18miles per hour for 3.5 minutes is unreal.

You forgot to mention the KLM train: Kessler, Laros, Myers.

Its crazy to think about that Narve Nordås's coach is actually Jacob's father.

1980/84 Olympic feats get an asterisk though, one boycott by the USA, follow3 by a return boycott by the USSR.

I think if he misses the 1500m win he will focus on 5000m & 10000m. I cant wait to see him later move to the h.m and marathon. Hed drop a pretty incredible half marathon given his threshold pace.

Josh Kerr turned out better than i thought he would

Wait, nobody has broken his Olympic Record???? Wow fair enough 😂

Go Jakob!!!

If he still injured, I just hope he is ready for Paris. Jakob is very consistent and despite all the talented athletes out there, he is very capable of winning gold. Good luck to everyone at the Olympics.

Grant fishers 503 is incredible lol

Just wondering why there is another Jakob video with nothing interesting in it but there was no video on Grant Holloway breaking a world record? Did I miss something?

Jesus christ, didn't know Grant Fisher ran 5:03 for the indoor 2 mile!!!! 6:13 xD

Jakob needs to run his Olympic record pace or below that. That’s his strength. He should lean into that and run at a level which no one can live with If he plays the game where there is a pack in touching distance of each other, then a kick wins it, he’s COOKED. And personally, I don’t like races like that

Josh Kerr is going to bring the 1500m home to Britain. If he doesn't I think another Brit could spring a surprise

One question isn't the guy's last name not Nordas* , I thought it was pronounced Nor- Dass

Look for hocker to produce a shocker

Cam Myers is also in the mix…

You can't train through Achilles injury, if that's what he has. I think his own father said he sees an early peak for Jakob. This could be it.

“And this record still stands today.” Um yeah no shit. There hasn’t been another Olympics. Lol

I see people talking about the olympic record. I thought a new record is made after the previous time record is beaten, what does the location have to do with the time? People are arguing about the location (2021 Olympics) but what about the time? Cant you beat the olympic record without in the olympic m? Is the olympic track different from the local track? Are people that blind to not see that the location does not matter and that the time and performance is the only thing that matters?

if you have to draft to win are you really the best

Jokab would be a beast doing a 5K/10K double in the Olympics! Maybe LA ‘28?

Cole hocker, really? US centric video but never gave a mention to Aussies who have an equal / better 😮chance than any nation. My money is on Cameron Myers. If not Paris then the next Olympics

Jacob always has completion in every race but, Wins 90 percent of the time at every distance he runs. I think he will win 1500m final in Paris

He's young and strong, he can do this.

He has the speed just not the strategy

I am a huge fan of his, however his stuggles are all mental. He can be a head case and that keeps him from being even more dominant than he already is. If he can get that under control, watch out.
