Wightman had a great year in 2022. Lots of great races are overlooked because he had the temerity to upset Jakob in Oregon. He clearly isn’t as strong as Jakob, but I’d love to see him fit and feeling confident in Paris next summer. He’s a class act. Humble and salt of the earth.
With respect to Wightman, he has raced Jakob many times and lost all but one time. He caught him in one race where Jakob ran in two separate heats, winning the other one. He is not on nearly the same level, nobody is. Wightman is still a good runner, but he's also aging out of the middle distance races.
This is the worst take I’ve ever read. Nobody cares about some random diamond league race Jakob won in May or June if he can’t win on the day. He’s a great runner but he got outclassed by wightman in 2022 on that day. Simple as that.
Wightman got that dawg in him 1:43 800 speed is crazy and if he focused solely on that event he would roll every bitch in that hoe
@@micahlogie2271If Wightman never beats him again, that's all the proof anyone needs buddy. We'll see, but I am willing to bet my life that he won't. You're making a losing case if you think that Wightman is on equal footing with Ingebrigsten. In fact, that's a take only someone who is incredibly biased could make, so I would wager a guess that you're from the UK.
just one year ago Ingebrigsten and Wightman were both 3:28 high/3:29 low guys in a year where they were 1 and 3 in the world. If we are simply looking at times Jakob is 100% the better runner and overall he is too. I’m not trying to discredit what Jakob has done he’s magnificent. But to think that he is unstoppable is irrational. Anything can happen year to year, and to think that Jakob is the clear a year out from the olympics is unrealistic. People thought he had that gold locked in Eugene after his triumphant 2021 season and yet he lost. He might be dominant but he isn’t unbeatable and guys like wightman, hoare, nguse, Kerr or kipsang are just as capable of coming out on top given the day. And no I’m not British. Just not a Jakob meat rider.
@@micahlogie2271 you still defending Wightman & putting down Jakob? Jakob is two seconds faster now in the 1500m at 22 years old than Wightman will ever be. Jakob isn’t just a great runner, he’s the best middle distance runner of a generation with world records to boot. He’ll no doubt go on to break more world records whilst Wightman heads to retirement.
Jake outraced Jakob pure and simple. Josh had a bit of luck as well as Jakob wasn't 100%, but I don't think it felt like it came easy anyway. Both seems like nice blokes that deserves the success, but I hope Jakob gets the championship race I feel like he deserves soon. His fitness was in a league of its own this year. He had probably a week and a half where he was off, and that happened at the worst possible time for him.
I wish he could compete against Jakob this year too!
I sense a lot of dislike of Jakob.
We love Jake!
He will be back!
prediction for Wednesday's final:
1. Eliot Giles
2. Josh Kerr
3. Nail Gourley
4. Jake Wightman
5. Narve Gilje Nordås
Coming from a Brit, Jake Wightman has ZERO chance of beating Jakob next year even fully fit. He’ll be 30, 7 years older than Ingebritsen. Bit surprised at the childish unprofessional chat tbh from this channel, showing little respect for Jakob.
@@TBrl8 no he won’t lmfao 🤣 Jakob will dominate
@@TBrl8 give your head a shake. Only way any other athlete is beating Jakob is if he has an injury & isn’t running.
Just to be honest, he didn't give a rematch, and he'll never give. At the end of the day, will be a lot of golds against one (lucky one). Incomparable.
@@TBrl8 Jake is the one stering away from the 1500m since worlds last year, it's easy to understand why he has chosen to stay away from diamond league when he couldn't even win commonweatth. I suggest you put money on jake for the next olympics since you think he will win, i won't put a dollar on him since i like my money
@@TBrl8 Jacob probably goes for a fast pace next time, then wightman havto lower his pr quite a lot to be close.
