Kerr: “Jakob doesn’t win many non-paced races”
Yea but Kerr doesn’t win many races period 😂
Jacob’s off day, Olympic silver. Josh’s off day, last place.
2 men in the world can run 3:27 & Josh Kerr isn’t one of them
They are both incredible athletes with great attitudes. Jakob’s manner is not arrogance, as some think, he just has unbelievable self belief and high expectations of himself.
I love both runners for the way they are, and it’s great for the sport that they are as fearless expressing themselves as they are in their running.
We don’t need to pick a side; just appreciate them.
You're very rational.
Most sports fanatics are not.
@@EightFrancs you are probably pretty rational yourself to say that. Anyone who reaches the highest level in sport should be respected and appreciated. There’s always too many armchair critics out there looking to find fault.
“… it’s such a bold statement… but I love it!” 😂👍👍
Josh Kerr is just spitting in the wind. How is this a rivalry when Kerr in all these years has beaten Jacob one time. The rivalry I see brewing isn't Kerr its Nuguse. Kerr may not even medal next year, Nuguse is way better. I like when these guys always down play the most important race and that was the Tokyo Olympics when Jakob won gold. In track and field the Olympics is everything. Steve Cram was great, world record holder won the world champs, but it was Coe and Ovett who won the Olympics. Even Hicham El Guerrouj multiple world champs and records but was considered less than by many including himself till he won that Olympics Gold Medal. There fools on letsrun needs to stop downplaying the Olympic Gold Medal which he won easily and broke the Olympics record by 3 seconds. Jakob isn't going to change tactics for the likes of Kerr. He does not fear Kerr. Kerr is the one who needs to be cautious because there are people behind him coming. It seems to me there is definitely some jealousy going on here. It just sounds to be like Jakob has rented some space in Josh Kerr's head 😅🤣😂😁🤪😀😛
Ingebrigtsen is 10 times the athlete as Kerr.
Love Jakob. Don't care what anyone says.
Also , Jacob has beaten J Kerr in every other non-paced race they have been in and the same for Jake Wightmen . He has lost to both guys once but, has beaten them every other time paced or non-paced races !
That may be true. but Jakob lost in WC, which carries much more weight versus if he'd lost in just a regular Diamond League race.
@@blainenewton7188 he got second in last two 1500 meter World Finals and 4th in 2019 .... he beat Josh Kerr in last years final and he beat Jake wightman in 2019 Final . He beat them both in 2021 Olympic Final . In other words, both of them ( Kerr and Wightmen) have only beaten Jacob once in Olympics or World Championships Jacob has beaten them every other championship race he ran against them , including the Diamond League championship Finals and European Championship Finals . And Jacob Won 5000 m final in last 2 World Championships and was 5th in 2019
@@ZATHURAKEYDon't get me wrong, I am a big Jakob fan, and not so much a Kerr fan. I think Jakob is twice the runner Kerr is. In fact, I would be surprised if Kerr could break 13:10 for 5k, whereas Jakob could run 12:30 or better.
That said, athletics, as well as all sports, for that matter, are really about what you do most recently and on the biggest stages. That was really my only point. For the record, I hope Jakob wins gold next year and leaves Kerr in the dust... And as an aside I think Nuguse has better potential than all of them.
My point exactly as well , did you happen to see ( perhaps the finest distance running performance in T&F history ) the Diamond League Championship finals ??
Jacob ran and Won the Mile and 3000m in back to back days and ran third fastest time in history in both events ! No Josh Kerr to be seen ??? Hmmm , I wonder why ???. To top off those performances Jacob set a WR in the 2000 meters at a Diamond League Event just 8 days earlier and a couple weeks earlier Won the 5000m Gold Medal at WC ..... like I said , perhaps the finest combined distance running performances in the History of T&F with no J Kerr to be found , in fact what happened to Josh Kerr in first Diamond league meet after WC's ..... he lost
Yeah I rather be world champion mate.
I think we'd all love to see Josh Kerr try to front run. He'd be out of the race before the final finish.
A little bit of animosity between the two is great for the event/sport! Surprised there was no mention in the latest episode of 18yr old Freshman JaMeesia Ford's 35.83 indoor 300m season opener last Friday (#2 NCAA all-time just 0.04s from breaking Abby Steiner's 35.80 NCAA Record & #7 all-time in history) which is crazy impressive!
Kerr suddenly grew “tired” and was done for the season (save the 5th Ave Mile) after promptly getting out kicked by Nuguse in Zurich, Kerr’s first and last track meet of the year as the World 1500m champ - Ingebrigtsen, meanwhile, broke another WR and almost broke another in the Bowerman mile - as a track distance fan, I’d much rather follow Ingebrigtsen’s record- and near-record setting season than Kerr’s one sit-and-kick win - and if anyone doubts Ingebrigtsen’s kick, rewatch the World 5K where he caught Katir in the stretch after Katir had a 5m lead with 75m to go, and rewatch the Prefontaine 3K where he holds off the world indoor mile record holder Kajelka (SP?) in a spirited sprint to the finish
Does Josh not realise that Jakob is just playing to his strengths by front-running? You can't call it a weakness when his worst finish since 2019 has been🥈
If Jakob took a sit and kick approach, sure he might win 🥇 but he also might finish 4th!
Similarly, if Josh tried to front-run, he might make the podium but he also might finish dead last. You play to your strengths. I don't get why he's being so critical here?
He's critical because he's jealous
Wow. It’s on.
Love the trash talk. 1500 Indoors World Championship
It's not as if a bunch of people are passing him up the home straight. At most, it's one per loss. So only one guy each time managed to get past. And all the others are getting paced and can't get past anyway. Not sure the argument holds up. Sit in and it's a lottery... Centro got to the front in a very slow race and ran 50secs for the last 400m... anyone who beats that has to run 49!!!... Jakob makes it a true race.
I agree
Everyone forgets El G , who was the greatest miler of the 2000's didn't loose many races except the Olympic final 1500's . Was he not the greatest miler ever even though he lost two non -paced races ??
It does seem Jakob is vulnerable on occasion down the stretch, Wightman also showed that. Wouldnt call it a weakness because it doesnt happen very often.
Well, the same was said of Steve Cram during the 1980's - not enough pure top end speed; however, Cram developed the ability to run 1:42 for 800m, and then could outkick Seb Coe at times. So, if Jakob continues to improve his pure speed just a little more, with his aerobic capacity he'll be able to just leave everyone behind.
Josh Kerr talking crap about Jakob over 1 win…lol
I love this. Hadn’t thought about it but when you run from the front but with a pacer that pacer is enabling the gap that lets you win.. without it, you don’t.
That is a general statement about all races that is incorrect . Watch the 2019 World Championship 1500m final
Jakob beaten in the World Champs 1500m Final two years in a row in exactly the same fashion by two Brits running the same tactics, follow him and outkick him. There's your answer!
Did that happen in the Olympic Finals in 2021 .... lmaf . Jacob has beaten both runners ever other time they met
Both ran 329….neither can run 3:27 but only 2 can…Ingebritgsen & Nuguse
Winning is winning.
A healthy Jakob will beat every runner in the 1500m with or without pacers. His improvement in 2023 was phenomenal with world records Kerr will never achieve. Kerr has also been cocky since getting 3rd in the Olympics but barely won a race since. A bit hypocritical calling out Jakob for having an ego when I’ve heard him bigging himself up pre-race then failing miserably the past 2 years other than that 1 race when Jacob was clearly ill. He’s just jealous he has to eat Jakob’s dirt 99.9% of the time!
Can't believe you're saying he "barely won a race since" the Olympics. He won the World Champs! And to be fair if there is a DL race, Jakob wins it.
@@letsrundotcom other than the WC 1500m where he won against a clearly sick Jakob what else has he won on track in the past 2 years?
I take Ingebritgsen & Nuguse over Kerr /Wrightman
I think your sample size is way too small to draw that conclusion. The fact that you can point out three total races he has lost in the last handful of years is proof of that. Everyone knows Jakob is cocky -- he's so cocky that he kicked his dad to the curb and became his own coach (before the scandal involving his dad came out). As an unbiased viewer, it seems to me like Josh Kerr let his single win over Jakob get to his head to the point where he feels like he is better than him. It's far more likely that Jakob, who doubles up on races in major events, overestimates his ability to handle that workload on occasion and loses a race. If he simply picks one race in next year's WC, he will win the event he races, including the 1500M, I would bet money on it. The fans in this sport, a long with the peanut gallery on TH-cam, are so quick to dethrone the top dog when they have a single bad race. People are already writing off Eliud Kipchoge for his Chicago performance, and as evidenced by this video and others, are drawing wild conclusions about Jakob based on his few losses to runners who are clearly not on his level. Does anyone view Josh Kerr or Jake Wightman as contenders for gold at any point in their careers? No. What other runner throughout history has been held to the standard Jakob is being held to? That tells you everything you need to know about his talent.
Jakob is levels above Kerr. Stop with the nonsense. Rojo is an absolute 🤡 and Kerr is still salty that he doesn't have half the accolades as Jakob.
But he has a world 1500 championship and Jakob doesn’t.
@weljenks let's see, 1500 and 2000 indoor WR, best time over 2miles, Olympic medalist, 2x world champ, 3x diamond league champ, 2x world champ silver medal just to name a few. Glad Kerr's 1500m medal compares to that.
We love rojo!
If only they gave Wejo some time on the clock
Agreed. Some great, solid, considered thoughts from him.
Kerr's willingness to speak his mind is refreshing, but at the same time, he's going too far with it by making claims that go beyond what he can actually prove. I mean, he's entitled to his opinion, but once it crosses over into disparaging someone else, he's crossed the line in my opinion.
That said, Kerr beat Jakob fair and square in the WC, and then Jakob went on this excuse making tirade about some mythical virus. I'm sure Kerr didn't appreciate that, so his words for Jakob, although perhaps excessive, are certainly understandable and probably even justified to a degree.
For his part, Jakob would have been better served if he'd simply said that he didn't have it that day, or that his legs just felt dead. No need to diminish a fine performance by Kerr to get the win. Jakob would have been respected even more had he simply chosen to be a gracious loser. To me, the excuse making only diminishes his legacy.
Old men gossiping about 20 year olds. Real housewives of track
Just skip over the talking heads and listen to Josh
I should take the time to watch this but Jakob is so many levels above Josh it's not even funny. I hope he crushes him at the Olympics.
I wonder if Jakob is triggered like so many fools on this message board?
Weakness…. I guess Josh didn’t learn his lesson from when he trash talked before the last Olympics. How many unpaced races has Josh lost in his career? This is the era we are in, the Cheriot, Jacob era where you don’t get to win a gold in the 1500m with a 3:50.
Josh is top notch, but Jakob is one of the greatest of all time. Josh seems deluded. I guess he is using the hype to gain motivation. Josh ran a brilliant 1500 in Budapest, but Jakob was subpar with a fever.. That's the only reason Jakob didn't win.
He was supposedly sick but came back to win the 5K at both worlds. BS excuses. Just admit you lost and make adjustments. Ridiculous ego for sure. Good that karma humbled it.
He was legitimately sick though. Confirmed by doctors at the event. He definitely has an ego but he's always very honest in interviews. For better or worse. Common Norwegian trait.
let us not forget he was sick last world champs jakob will win olympics this year
jakob is thge best guys really ask stupid questions...
1.500 and other events are always paced u guys are so disrespectfull.
Who is this kerr guy? After the Olympics next year he can kiss ingebrigtsens shoes n apologize.
A little bit of animosity between the two is great for the event/sport! Surprised there was no mention in the latest episode of 18yr old Freshman JaMeesia Ford's 35.83 indoor 300m season opener last Friday (#2 NCAA all-time just 0.04s from breaking Abby Steiner's 35.80 NCAA Record & #7 all-time in history) which is crazy impressive!
