I don’t get it. These companies are trying like hell to make sure nobody cares about track and field. Channels like yours are what keeps me interested throughout the season.
I love how you don't go hard on the clickbait and give us clip after clip rather than repeating the same one to pad time. Proper entertaining content thank you!
Yeah, something is beyond weird in the men's 800m this season. Not only Sedjati and Wanyonyi running their heels off, but so many 2-plus second PRs from previously relative unknowns like Tual, Attaoui, Pattison, etc.
This olympics will be such a great story. there are so many events looking for a great time and great performance. Paris will be a olympics to remember!!
I wouldn’t underestimate Josh Kerr, the dude has been in crazy form this season. But yeah, Jakob is once again the favorite. Also he’s number 4 all time, not 3.
tbf he should be 2nd all time, the only one ahead of him who's not been busted for EPO is Hicham. And Kerr is definitely better than ever, but there is absolutely no way he runs sub 27 anytime soon.
@@noone-ld7pt They weren't busted for EPO when they set their 1500m times. Lagat's EPO bust was dodgy anyway - with the A-sample showing EPO & the B-sample not showing it. If we can discount Lagat & Kiprop's times without specific evidence then we can discount Jakob's & El Guerrouj's times as well for taking EPO, or any drug we can think of, after all it doesn't matter that we don't have any evidence for it.
@@noone-ld7ptdunno how much you know about running but in 1500 especially Kerr has already won, he only beat Jacob the last time because he lives rent free in his head, Kerr is a competitor who will do everything possible to not let Jacob get away, Jacob is 100% faster but Kerr wins every time just because he’s defeated Jacob in the mental game
CRAZY performances all around! If you do another video in a few days, don't forget to mention Femke Bol's No.3 ALL TIME, AR, PB, Fastest Time Ever Ran not at Hayward Field, *50.95* 499m Hurdles! The gold's definitely NOT around Sydney's neck yet!
Unreal, that meet went completely under my radar. Will probably put together a video midweek after shelly runs. Im so excited to see what they can do when they clash.
I think we're more likely to see a tactical rather than an all out speed race in the men's 1500m. Imo the 800m is the race where a WR might happen because these guys are not going slower in the Olympics because enough of them are super fast that even in the semis they will need to be fast to get through, and in the final they'll need to set the track on fire. In contrast I expect slower speeds in the rounds of events like the women and men's 400mh and men's 1500m where there's only 2 or 3 who can go super fast. I agree they were impressive races from Rai Benjamin and Quincy Hall, apart from Grant Holloway many Americans don't replicate their fast track Eugene times when they race in Europe.
@@JumpmanTFyou said it yourself that last years world champion would have placed last in the 800m. Something is up. So many fast times and what is your explanation? The shoes? The Olympic cycle? I’ve been following the sport for years and this cycle is insane.
Go watch the 800m final stretch and notice how quite a few aren’t hitting the lactate wall. Something isn’t right. Then Sedjati dancing like an idiot after crossing the line. Yeah, I’m sorry. I call BS.
Heading into these Olympics, I think the sprints are about as wide open as I can ever remember. Noah Lyles has to be the only true favorite, other than Sydney in the 400H, if we count that as a sprint. Sha’Carri also should win, but she’s probably going to make the final fun like usual with some kind of slow start.
The issue about ingebrigtsen come olympics is the lack of a pacer, on time trials where the pace is dictated to be fast he is the man, truly elite no competitors. Can he craft a race when that isnt there? That is where I think it actually gets interesting with kerr. Jakob should win regardless, but think the lack of pacers makes it more interesting.
Let's see , Olympic Gold at 1500m , two WC Gold at 5000m , 6 European outdoor championship gold medals , 5 European championship gold medals ... all no pacers , no pacing lights . Please stop with the Jacob needs a pacer and pacing lights to Win . I just gave you 14 examples where he didn't need pacers or pacing lights to Win . How about Kerr , what has happened to him in non- paced races ... loss in 2021 Olympics , loss in 2022 WC 1500m , loss in any European championship event .
The middle distances for both men and women should be very exciting. Sedjati is on fire, and could break WR soon. Not something last year that anyone expected. Ingrebritsen is a generational talent, and I’m so looking forward to the men’s 1500 final. Highly likely not only an Olympic record, but also sub 3:30. With Kerr’s closing speed Jacob will likely have to take it out fast. Also, Cheriyut is back running fast, and his best strategy for a medal, I believe, is also to take it out fast. Good thing for Jacob the 5000 comes after 1500 completes. So hard to win both when the competition is so good! Could we see low 1:41 in 800, and low 3:27 in 1500? I think we could
Josh Kerr has been in the right place at the right time TWICE! While Jake Wightman has only been in the right place at the right time ONCE - poor lad. Jakob has made himself the favourite again - racing in championship rounds is harder than running with pacemakers, maybe Jakob will choke again - who knows? Anyway the Olympic 1500m final isn't just Ingebrigtsen vs Kerr - it's totally disrespectful to the other top 1500m runners - one of them could also be in the right place at the right time!
Maybe below 3,000 meters. But I consider “distance” in track as anything over 3,000, instead of 800 meters. Less than 2 minutes has nothing to do with distance.
Fastest distance runner? Nope. Now, fastest short-middle distance runner? Yes. Absolutely yes! I just haven't seen him run a 1/2 or full Marathon yet to qualify as a true distance runner.
Exactly. "Distance Runner" in terms of track is 3K and up. But really it's 5K and up. But in terms of ACTUAL running (like road running), NOBODY even considers the Mile as an endurance event. It's a pure sprint. HELL... nobody even views the half marathon as an 'endurance'/'distance' race anymore! At just over one-hour of running, 13.1 miles is no longer a strength based race. It's pure speed, and you're closing the final 5-10K absolutely flat out these days.
@@EricS-uf9mv Why do you consider road running "ACTUAL running" and track not? The majority of the best road runners come from a track and cross country background, like Kipchoge, Bekele, Gebrselassie, and so on. Road specialists are becoming more common now, but guys like Kiptum are still outliers. To be clear, if the mile wasn't an endurance event it would make absolutely no sense for Jakob to be able to successfully train for it with high volume and thresholds. Calling it a pure sprint when 60-70% of the distance is run aerobically is frankly quite silly, especially when even the 800 isn't a pure sprint either. I'm also not sure where you're getting that the half marathon is a pure speed race when even the guys running 57-58 minutes are still only slightly above their threshold. It absolutely still is a strength based race that requires long runs and high mileage to excel at... which is traditional long distance training.
This marathon superiority mentality is just strange - I'm not sure you really understand the level of aerobic capacity and running economy required to be elite at the 1500-5000? Jakob doesn't have to race those distances to be a "true distance runner" when he runs 115 miles per week year round long with a 1:15 half as his Sunday long run. Josh Kerr has run sub 62 in the half for his 1500m training and Kejelcha has run 57:41 a few weeks after an entire season of 5000m track training. It's still the same sport.
@@crimsonreaper835 You can wax poetic all you want, it STILL won't magically reclassify the 1500m as an ENDURANCE EVENT. All your yammering about training is irrelevant. We aren't talking about training. We are specifically talking about the EVENT the INDIVIDUAL competes in. I don't give a damn if the man runs 135mi/week. He still isn't the greatest ENDURANCE RUNNER on the planet because he doesn't COMPETE in endurance events.
@@EricS-uf9mv No one is waxing poetic here, just listing facts, statistics and science. If the 1500m isn't an endurance event, then that means it doesn't require endurance?

Perhaps you should share this groundbreaking discovery of yours with all of the elite coaches and training groups of the world so they can wrap their minds around this. Because clearly, you know more about this subject than they do.
@@JumpmanTF It shows how much Kerr has improved. It is only in the last few times they competed that Kerr won. So he has the potential to beat Ingebrigtsen, it is just a question of who is better on that day. No athlete is unbeatable, and certainly not all the time.
@bertolaci9509 he won't have to, I see it being around 3.28 to 3.30. I just can't see yakob running a blistering last lap if it's slower and if yakob takes it out quickly I see kerr glued to his shoulder
Man lyles should be terrified... thompson looks unstoppable, has speed lyles doesnt, de grasse is doing de grasse things coming into elite form perfectly timed... Surely lyles cant go 0/2 again.... surely... not after saying he would get 4 golds....
Its crazy how confident we all were on his 200, till bednarek went crazy at trials. Odds are in favor of lyles, but 0/2 could happen. And it would make sprint 2 very funny haahaha
People have short memories or a shallow grasp of history. Only nine years ago Kiprop ran a faster 1500m time at Monaco without the pacers. The fastest distance runners in the current crop are the women.
@@JumpmanTF You can't really do anything about pacers because a runner can always use a teammate in the race for help early. Pacing also has a long history of use and acceptance in the sport. I think its generally accepted because a pacer cannot carry a runner the entire race, and the runner has to finish on their own when its most difficult. Wavelight just removes so much of the mental aspect of pushing for a WR. Knowing exactly where you need to be is such a big advantage. Wavelight is really cool, and I like the idea of using all tools available to push the world record limit, but if wavelight wasn't also great for the spectator, I doubt they would have ever considered it legal. I don't blame them for doing what they can to try to generate interest in the sport, but they should at least indicate whether a WR was obtained with wavelight with an asterisk or new category. But if pacing is fine, and wavelight is fine, then they should let people do what Kipchoge did and have teams of pacers rotating in, with wavelight pacing, and see just how low some times can go.
Yep Josh Kerr. Ingeb has a lot of imbalance in his running style and a lot of people would agree to that you don't need to be an expert just watch the replays how many times he desperately lost to Kerr.
This video is completely demonetized from the get go. Spent more than a few hours into the night trying to fix it, just to realize that no matter what I do will fix it. So yeah, send me some prayers because I'm going to be on 2 hours sleep at work tomorrow LOL. Love ya'll
