We all know you are the greatest Jakob!! What he has demonstrated this summer in the 1500 is unbelievable, some of the best performances in history 👏 🎉
Josh Kerr iwas just the next guy (on the row behind him) that`s why he won…when you stumble or fall (race or virus) there´s a next guy who wins…hahaha I love him not giving Kerr credit. Come on! we all think like Jakob!
I don’t like his attitude. He is not celebrating his win latest and moaning about getting silver medal in 1500m. He should be grateful for both wins. And you will never be 100% ready.
And for those who gonna said now he is healthy both before the semis and the final he said he is not very well so he came up and win unhealthy as usual cause he is the best
A true champion shows grace and generosity in defeat. He is most certainly NOT a great champion. His excuses after his 1500 loss were beyond embarrassing. All this after his childish showboating in qualification. So disappointing.
Their team doctor confirmed he was recovering from a virus after 1500, but they didn't want to talk about it. Because of that suddenly no one believes him when he says he had a virus.
What a great honest real interview. I think he is so misunderstood.. I think his Norwegian reserve is mistaken for arrogance. He will get his 1500 World Gold definitely

I really dislike this guy. He is such a sore loser.
Ingebigtsen might not win EVERY race but he never loses. You have to beat him because he always goes for the win. Amazing competitor. Fun to watch.
"He was just the next guy" Jakob is different ☠☠🤣🤣. He's the best and everyone knows it
Great interview. Relaxed. Finally he has a chance to explain what happened.
Virus, inflammation called "world champion" it's a new generation and very smart wirus and only attacks at worlds, summer and winter 😂😂😂
But can he win Kona?
Dedication
Perseverance
Continuity
Planning
Teamwork
Intelligence
He is a very very intelligent communicator, very honest in my opinion.

There's so much wrong with this guy. No humanity left. I wouldnt be surprised if he retires in 3-4 years.

crazy how he taunted in the 1500 tho
It’s as if Zátopek came back.
The modern steve prefontaine
Haters be like…Blah, blah, blah.. Jakob….hold my gold medal…

52.5 for the last lap after 4600 fucking meters of running, that is comical for mortals to understand. 52.5 seconds for 4 laps would be a 3:30 mile
When Kerr eventually beats him again he’s going to ram that “just the next guy” label back down his throat.
Had he been 100 % in 1500m
, would of been gold and under 3:27
I don’t get the hype… the Guy looks cocky and boring
Bekele, Gabreselasie etc would have made him less cocky…
What a great honest real interview. I think he is so misunderstood.. I think his Norwegian reserve is mistaken for arrogance. He will get his 1500 World Gold definitely
