You’ve got to admire his confidence no matter how brutal it may sound. When somebody steps up and actually challenges him then I am sure he will not only welcome it, but show respect as well. This is what competitive sports are all about.
It's not like he's never lost. He's riding high right now and making the most of it. Which he should, because you only have a few years when you can set records.
Jakob's comment might make him come off a bit cocky to people who haven't seen him/watched other interviews but really he's just been building confidence in his running year after year. He shows respect to competitors after his wins and losses, but can still answer questions directly and honestly without feeling the need to filter everything he says. Spoken like a champ.
Actually he says he doesn't really love running, but he loves competing and running is what he is good at... He is already considering future career options for when he stops running.
Just goes to show Jakob’s range is superior. Was really hoping Hocker could have kicked past the Kenyans but he ran out of room once Hoare came past on the outside
Ironic that this great and confident runner is getting some push back for being cocky at the freaking PRE meet! Remember PRE, anybody? I love both of them, like I loved Ali. Also, have you seen may runners look that compy running a 55 seconf lap?
I had to go back several times to make sure I heard that one correctly. Hilarious. More than a bit of that is just being Norse; no need to parse words.
@@dashielcockrill998 not until he sets world records and competes against the best of em. American runners are good but by no means compare to African nations. Very excited to see his future!
@@a6beats221 that race wasn’t against Americans. The best middle distance runners in the world were all there not just Americans the top 4 were all other nationalities
@@dashielcockrill998 Did you read my full statement?----". . .maybe best ever by end of his career." Not a prediction, just a reasonable possibility based on his performances and improvement so far. Disagree if you want to.
@@AllInTheGame01 they just talked about how the wind made the race wierd, with having headwind first and then tailwind, which suddenly made him accellerate
@@ziskablyat8451 Cool, thanks! Out of interest, who's considered the bigger star in Norway Karsten or Jakob? Guessing Erling Haaland is even bigger than both?
@@AllInTheGame01 Haha i guess they're pretty similar, but Warholm got that extra range here, considering how he gets more normal people hyped. He has gotten aalot of prizes and records over the last years in Norway, but Jakob is catching up
It was a joke lmao Yeah, it's an individual sport and he is talking about his competitors, this is the bare minimum of a response you can expect from such a question 😆
The key word here appears to be "savage." Actually, what he said wasn't "savage" at all. He was just saying that it would be silly to want his competition to be stronger, because he wants to win.
Reminds me of Magnus Carlsen interviews. Not sure what you're supposed to say when you're kicking the shit out of everyone while still either sounding honest vs humble. Also Aurora is sneaky hot. WTF is up with that country?
its not a bad era for middle distance running, but not a great one,,decent athletes. he is far and away the best,,but no real 800/1500 like coe ovett or cram..

He speaks truthfully the way he feels at this time.
Exactly. He doesn’t talk trash, isn’t disrespectful, and is a great sportsman. Ask any of his competitors.
@@andrearatkovic4048 He is no different from Lewis Hamilton then.
He just got smoked
Yooo that was a savage response and the interviewers knew it too.

Very stoic, control what you can, don't expect others to want something. Love it, go get some Jakob!
he is dominating and big things to come
Best thing about him? He just loves running and it shows!
Actually he says he doesn't really love running, but he loves competing and running is what he is good at... He is already considering future career options for when he stops running.
He’s not afraid to lose. That’s one of the qualities that sets him apart.
Young confident man. He is awesome. He can't be disappointed for other runners not been better than him lol
when asked about doubling I love that he immediately asks "do you mean two golds?" what a savage
Absolutely. Very high standards for this young man, He wants 2 golds of course.
Sad a silver and gold
Honestly not that savage. Just confident.
I was hoping Ingebrigtsen was going to get pushed more by Kipsang and Cheriout. Ollie Hoare coming in second was a surprise.

U tight Prefontaine the cockiest runner all time
3:16 for the thumbnail
why?

Classic quote: 'You can't be disappointed with people not doing better.'

Great runner--maybe best ever by end of his career?
He’s really really good. He’s also 21 I don’t think you get to start making those kind of predictions before another decade of him doing this

Ingebritsen pack hitting 💨
Nice. What race is he talking about for the 800? Want to try to catch that one.
Bislet Games held in Norway
@@christianmatheron6444 No, Bislett is after the 800m show race. Its a small meet in Norway hes gonna run 800m. Dont think its gonna be televised.
@@viggostenvard9906 thank you
You gotta want to be the best, no judgment at taking pride of being the fastest
Nice to see that he doesn't feel compelled to use the royal "we," as so many American athletes seem to do.
Felt so good to be Norwegian and understand what they said at the start!
Care to translate pls?

I used to cover professional and collegiate sports, sports media people ask the DUMBEST questions.
It was a joke lmao

Nice
To be fair, the interviewer asked him whether he was disappointed by other people not running faster. What is he supposed to say?
I like him better speaking Norwegian. Speaking English he sounds like the way most American kids talk which Jakob is like any other kid in the world
Look how he looks he's totally that tiktok generation

You mean post classic interview
I think Jakob might break 3:43
Surely this is post race, not pre race.
The race is called the Pre classic, named after the American runner Steve Prefontaine
Yeah this is after the race
Norwegian speakers…please translate.
They were talking about how the wind seemed to change direction.
filip looks drawn, not looking healthy, hope all is ok
euro's mostly do well spelling English. Americans anything, not so much
Lmao why he complaining , he’s the fastest runner in the race , don’t expect for other to lead your the frontrunner
Wants competition
its not a bad era for middle distance running, but not a great one,,decent athletes. he is far and away the best,,but no real 800/1500 like coe ovett or cram..
I hate flotrack
Why?
Same here. I hate flotrack too.
If he was American he'd be more famous than Usain Bolt by now
English is not his first language. Cut him some slack. I wonder how your Norwegian is? Oh, you only speak English. figures. haha
