"Ingelbritsen", "Eagullbritsen", "Eengelbrettsen". Gave me a good laugh, being a Norwegian myself.

[@ElSmusso]

🇳🇴

[@Neophema]

Even the video description got it wrong: "Ingebrigsten".

[@valter9604]

As a swede i cringe when americans try to pronounce his name

[@jacobanteau6020]

And they said Jacob not Jakob

[@libradragon]

FloTrack announcers are inept. I always cringe at them... wince even. And the producer needs to move the Race Clock to the upper left on the screen. It gets in the way, much like the announcers.

[@Whale15]

I absolutely love Jacob taking the inside on Paul who always cuts people off and forces them outside.

[@tedallison6112]

Get used to Jakob smashing all these US runners. He's already @ 3:28-1500---7:27 for 3k-4:50:07 @ 2k-13:02 -5k--all PAST race times----you guys will get to know his backside quite well.WR's are on his horizon. Team Ingebrigtsen is KING.

[@jensmith3719]

[@keatonbrown6348]

Indoor 1500 WR in the bag

[@crwnikeboy]

Olympic and World Champion, Olympic record holder, and world record holder indoors for 1500m

[@epilog80]

And now he has improved all these marks, #4 in the 1500 with 3:27, #3 for 3000 7:23, WR in the 2000 4:43, and a 12:48 5000. He definitely can run faster in the 5k, but needs a meet outside championships to see how fast he really is.

[@benjamineikrem7201]

And three years later he wins olympic gold in the 1500m with a new olympic record of 3.28.32 (!)

[@JoeMac1983]

That kid is amazing. Also, can someone please tell me where the letter "L" is in that kid's last name? Maybe the commentators can inform me...

[@Oenloveslife]

There is NO "L"!

[@ItsJps]

“Ingelbritsen” Lol I was wondering too

[@curtbentley]

Drove me nuts, too...

[@MMAoracle]

It's either Inglebrigsten og Ingelbrigsten, not sure how they imagine it being spelled.

[@VinylUnboxings]

As a Norwegian you should know that in Norway we have an "invisible L" similar to the American "silent E".

[@sidmurthy7423]

He is 17 until September 19, 2018. A 17 year old destroyed seasoned pros. Future world record holder right here. His father learned from the mistakes from coaching his brothers now applying really good coaching techniques to get him to the top.

[@scottroman6856]

great insight on this guy

[@pete5691]

This comment aged well.

[@ryhawks1496]

you were right

[@musik102]

It's amazing how far ahead Jacob was considering the last lap was only around 56secs.

[@epilog80]

yeah it was a 1 second difference, but looks like alot more.

[@brucetharp7610]

Thanks to the Flotrack monopoly on American Track & Field, I have become a big fan of Poland Athletics. I have had so much fun watching Jakob's progress.

[@speedybull0911]

[@rileyjw96]

Damn, Ingebrigtsen straight up EMBARRASSED that field!!

[@CameronKinsey]

Jakob is amazing! But also I’m very impressed with Chelimo. Before this, he was Olympic silver medalist in the 5K and I just didn’t expect him to move down in distance much after that. But he still had a pretty great race here, beating centro and everybody else. He also wasn’t afraid to take it out hard. Raced like pre would have.

[@valter9604]

Jakob is the goat

[@CameronKinsey]

@@valter9604 he’s pretty amazing

[@david2804me]

Well so few of the comments here have any relevance to what we're seeing in this video.... ie., an excellent run by a star in the making. However dumb the commentators sound with mis-pronunciations (wtf is fiddy-eight?) of the guy's name, Jakob will be Olympic champion this year...... I think hehe.

[@reidun-engh8824]

You clocked it :)

[@david2804me]

@@reidun-engh8824 Yes...I got that right but I'm not surprised....Jakob is an incredible runner whose next achievement will be a world record in the 1500m or the mile.....but maybe not until next year...we shall see.

[@bardo0007]

You guys that comment in this thread claiming he can not win without drugs ? He come from a runners family , with a hard working dad who had an idea that their kids would become runners since age 10 . Hard training daily , he teached his kids to enjoy the training sessions and enjoy the pain . He teached his kids how to only eat healthy food. They want to do everything right because they are perfectionists. Their dad is the first one to say NO to drugs . It's not like in American sports where all the top athletes seem to think they need it. Besides in Europe they are tested regularly , and when I say regularly at least once every 2 weeks. Jakob is pure talent combined with very hard work , he should be the first in line to compete with the Kenyans and Afro American runners and get the world record in 2-3 years time.

[@siegfriedverheijke]

Hi bardo0007, I agree with most of what you said. However, their diet can be improved, as they still eat a lot of crap food on a regular basis. My guess is that this will change in the years to come, as more evidence (and documentaries like The Game Changers) is coming out that a plant-based whole foods diet, when balanced right, is actually better for an athlete than foods that are filled with saturated fats and cholesterol (eggs, milk, meat...).

[@CliveBramham]

Look out for him in worlds!

[@JD-ui8ni]

@@siegfriedverheijke yeah you are right about diet, as he is young he can get away with diet now but as he gets older he will learn and eventually change it. Remarkable athlete.

[@siegfriedverheijke]

Remarkable indeed. I love his running style - forward, like the Africans, and all tight, with minimal loss of energy. I am starting to copy his running style now, as I need to increase my efficiency and speed as well (I do amateur trail running in Chile). In a couple of years, when his body is fully formed, he can start working harder on his glutes and hamstrings for even more speed. And he will indeed need to tune his diet in order to deal with the higher demands on his body. Wonderful to look at, and the Team Ingebritsen documentary series is fantastic.

[@tombradygoat7995]

Okay idc what running family you come from but how tf does a 17 year old beat an Olympic gold medalist and other D1 champions when this kid isn’t even in college yet lmao

[@f1bm208]

In my opinion I believe his success is largely if not completely due to his family. He has two older brothers who are runners and by the time he was ready to be a runner, his brothers could help him grow very quickly as with their experience they would know the best ways to train and advance in the sport.

[@f1bm208]

What Jakob demonstrates to me is that if someone can guide you and help train you properly, as long as you put the work in, there's no reason you won't succeed.

[@fishflake1209]

World Juniors are coming up at the start of July; he’s the only non-collegiate athlete in the race building up to a major championship this summer.

[@gsus9466]

No Norwegian cross-country skier have ever been caught using EPO?

[@ericstrabel]

noob, caught using epo, no; tested at 60% hematocrit, yes, at 94 Olympics. The big cloud over Norwegian xc skiers today is megadosing of asthma medicine, which according to latest research, does have notable performance enhancing effects. antidopingworld.wordpress.com/2018/02/07/in-total-there-are-over-6000-doses-of-asthma-medicine-in-the-norwegian-medicine-bag-in-pyeongchang/

Really shows that Centro has a hard time winning if you take the pace out fast. Doesn't look like he'll get much better at this distance either after looking at his yearly progressions. Might be time for him to move up in distance.

[@crosslink1493]

This and the Rio 1500 are good examples of why I don't watch 'open'-level track & field anymore; the runners just don't seem to make much of an effort any more. Its all about posturing and last-second sprints, using a 'rabbit' rather than developing the 'sense' to know how fast you are going, etc. And this race was in 2018, so no upcoming Olympics or World Championships meets to use as an excuse, either. I'd rather go watch a high school or college meet where the guys (and gals) are giving it there all every race.
