You know that most athletes are young as well? Usain Bolt broke the world records at 21, when he was 2 years younger than current Jakob. Otherwise you're right, he is definitely a great young athelet but he has to work on his attitude because he is getting unpopular by the minute.
@@firstlast-ep5ru Bolt may be the biggest phenom in track and field broke the record in the 100m where athletes peak at a young age. However, in longer events, Jakob is still considered young. And his feats at his age, are truly amazing. Like him or not.
A fine young man with the head on the right place. The greatest motor, inspirator and reformator in the sport of middledistance and long distance running since El Guerrouj, Bekele and Gebreselassie.
They did beat him in the recent Olympic 1500m, but the interview at 5:51 is old. It was from last year's Prefontaine Classic (September 2023). In that race Jakob backed up the talk pretty well (3:43 mile, 3rd fastest race all time). Yared hung on to him pretty much all the way, lost by .24.
Everyone that i know thinks that im very cocky and confident, but in reality, most of it is sort of a character. He doesnt mean everything that he says and i thinks his character is great for the popularity of the sport snd competition in general.
@@DimitriTheBarbarian Proper champ. Won 2 gold medals in 2 categories throughout olympics career so far and is so young. Josh next olympics will be his last for sure due to age and the most is win 1 gold if he is lucky, ... in his 30s... Jakob still won it in fashion
What is so cocky about this? He’s just answering questions, sometimes very leading questions.. Honestly, for someone who has been as good as he has since 15-16, it would just be weird if he never said he thought he would win, or that he wants world records. Of course he does. He’s just honest and imo quite funny
@pbrylind Except Magnes does not consider himself the greatest and neither can Ingebreten call himself Goat. He has no long standing world records that are 20 plus years nor 5 or more gold medals.Now if he win 3 more golds in Olympics and has a 1500/ mile record for a generation then he can be in the discussion
Are you sure you want to keep this comment posted? He just won the Wooden Nickel Award at the Paris Olympics. The Wooden Nickel Award goes to all those runners that fail to place in the top 3 slots. It's the equivalent of a participation trophy.
Cockiness backed up is OK. Lose 1500m. OK. Not good but I'll win gold in 5000m. Has there ever been a middle distance runner who has been capable of that ? Next ? How about 5000m/10000 m double ? That's been done - which suggests it is physically more doable. 1500m is too short. No body can do both. I like him because he is approachable and honest. Terrific athlete. Like a good fighter.
It seems as though he's often toying with the reporters, who are eager to ingratiate themselves to him. It's the kind of shameless flattery for people who want to be in the presence of a celebrity.
I do not understand- I see zero cockiness. He’s good, he knows he’s good, he seems honest. What’s wrong with that? I do not see him denigrating anyone.
I also don't think he's cocky. I think it's essential to believe in yourself and from everything I see I think he has that complete self belief. I hope he smashes El Guerrouj's record and of course beats Josh Kerr.
Can’t wait to see him and josh kerr race again
Same. I also hope they get put in the same press conference at some point. There'd no doubt be some fireworks 😂
Honestly, athletics is very very exciting at the moment. I used to run against josh and he’s always been very good
@@LYNXHQ Yeah I got smoked by him in an xc race back in 2014 when he was 16 and I was 18. It's a badge of honour now though! 😄
Jakob is 10 times better and that’s a fact Jimmy
Lmao he didn't even medal
Like it or not he brings much-needed personality to the sport
He is so fun to watch. Amazing athlete. He is so young and already one of the greats in running history.

I don’t think he’s cocky at all. His answers are honest and straight forward, speaking his mind. Sometimes he’s joking. But never arrogant.
He’s a dickhead. Just slagging off others when he loses and slagging off others when he’s winning. Have a bit of grace lad
Americans served this fool a humble pie. Watch how respectful the Americans were comapred to this cocky euro
WINNING ISNT FOR EVERYONE- just like the Nike ad says. It’s definitely NOT for first place LOSER Jakob Ingebrigtsen! 😂👍 Didn’t even make the podium
Agreed. A bit of banter amongst gents never hurt anybody.
I agree.. And also the Norwegian or Nordic humour is not easy to get..
Jakob is gonna be an all-time great in ahtletics. Both in terms of accomplishments and in showmanship and larger than life persona.
Was a douche in Paris. Karma.
“Larger than life persona” is a larger than life reach
5:51 The Americans being humble and focused kicked his ass. Amazing duo and bravo to the USA
Yes I was happy to see that because often times the US athletes can talk a lot and not back it up or be humble
came here for this. cocky doesn't look good when you don't deliver the goods. put your feet on the ground buddy...
USA!! 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA !!!

he should always smile. 🔥
"You can be cocky you just cant be a douche. Or an ass hole"
LMFAO
Arrogant
He is a nice person. He would be a joy to meet in person. "You can not be disappointed with a person for not being better" He said.
I predict he’s going to finish 4th in the 1500M at the Olympics.
😭😭
I predict he's going to finish 1st in the 5000M at the Olympics
Humble pie!
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...lol
I predict he gonna break 4th- I mean 5th and 6th World Record 😂
Love his answers
Most of these are kind of loaded questions lol. Also he has the right to say he's really good. Because he's really good
He is so humble, people do not know this😅
Everyone that i know thinks that im very cocky and confident, but in reality, most of it is sort of a character. He doesnt mean everything that he says and i thinks his character is great for the popularity of the sport snd competition in general.
100% agree. He says everything with a smirk. He knows it's funny! 😂
He definitely make it more entertaining rather than just boring responses. Even if you have to be the villain it’s funny
Poor sportsmanship in Paris. Karma for his arrogance.
If everyone you know thinks that you're cocky, then you aren't playing a character. That's who you are now
It all backfired last night though!! 😂😂
And then he won the 5000m gold
@@mackovo6he did win 5K and did so in fashion. What a champ

@@mackovo6 great story. I will be following his progress
Anyone who can back up and win races like Jakob does can never be called cocky.
He is quickly becoming the finest middle distance runner of all time.
Oh seriously! Hicham El Guerrouj is far & away the best middle distance runner of all time 👏
Nah its over for him now LOL!!!
Congratulations, Jacob just won the Wooden Nickel award at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
@@gl7011 You got that right, extremely poor racing tactic.
@@Acura1NSXthat was his only shot at winning, he has a terrible kick so his only option was to go out hard and be leading after 1400m
That was awesome haha. He is a very entertaining athlete and my favorite. He is the goat! And that’s a fact!!! Bobby

Jakob has a similar mentality to the GOAT of chess, fellow Norwegian Magnus Carlsen. They both just state facts when they say they're the best.
I've noticed this too! Some people hate it. I love it though.
They're rather corny though ngl. Still very good but I'm surprised how true the stereotype of social awkwardness is for Norwegians
@pbrylind

This is the perfect behavior. You just have not been brought up in a perfect democratic country
this makes you want him to lose. he's not cocky, he's just kind of an a**hole sometime.
Exactly! He'd be whole lot cooler of he was a great athlete AND a class act!
Karma strikes.
Got to luv this guy😂❤. Ask stupid question, get stupid answers
He's a really good runner. Able to outrun most of the field, but he has ZERO strategy and his cockiness makes for even more exciting losses.
4:39 😂
Bro gonna set world record for 1500m, pin this comment 🎉
here before pin
Jit is NOT getting pinned
"Bro" = Josh Kerr
Uh oh

still my goat
That’s good for you..
dude says half of this but dosn't understand why Kerr has responded th way he has to some of these commnts lol. I hope Kerr or Nuguse win today

He won the 5000m y’all can hush
The goatttt
No
Nope.
Jacob! A bit arrogant, and colorful. Good for the sport. A fan 👍🏻
And he won nothing at the Olympics! He should learn some humility. He can always order one of those plastic trophies online…🤣
he will win the 5k though. That's his strongest event.
He won in Tokyo beating both Kerr and Hocker didn’t he. I believe that was a real medal.
He won gold in 5000 m, dont talk before the action folk, maybe you need some humility too
90% is just blunt, 10% is cocky. Such a click bait title. Should be "funny interview moments"
5000m GOLD after 5 races why is he living in your head?
And he lost today LOL
Not even a medal this time 😢
@@alansamuel2454he won gold in the 5000

I said this 4 years ago. He could win everything from 800-marathon
He's earned the right to be arrogant
Wrong, he earned the right to NOT receive a Medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
@@gl7011😂😂
Humble pie..not
this is cocky to you? yall are soft
Not a fan. Attitude/mouth/haircut/earrings-maybe should try his luck in a boy band.
Hes so arrogant
In America anybody who talks straight is called arrogant. Sad woke reality
This aged very very well. Hahaha.
