Men's U23 Race | European Cross Country Championships 2019

[@alansamuel2454]

Thanks for posting cross country as well. Many just love track and ignore cross country.

[@Erik.B]

More mud to the people!

[@rugbychampion1]

I enjoy watching track around the Olympics and commonwealth games. But its a littlebit too clinical, cross country is definitely less predictable and more of a raw effort. I love it

[@zachfriedman4263]

Haven’t seen yet but I imagine Jakob would win if he raced in ut

[@kaismithley6173]

We'll see next year maybe

[@fframazza]

Yes i Also think so ahhahaah

[@guilhermediad1659]

First time Jakob ran in the U20 against the winner he was 16 and the French was 19, still the French got absolutely obliterated

[@fredo3179]

Thank you Erik.

Jimmy 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵 toujours au maximum 😎

[@cgchannel8328]

Jimy the best!

[@michaelmcginley7930]

Be rea!rustic he is not he wil! Not feature in with the big boys even younger like ingerbritsen

Does someone know the distance they are running ? To have an idea of the velocity

[@oscarfaure8186]

Toujours la casquette le Jimmy gressier

[@pablomp311]

Aller jimmy!!!!

[@frederikkannegaard2624]

Would have been cool to see Jakob Ingebrigsten challenge Gressier instead of running U20

[@Jorg303]

He was actually not allowed running higher than u20

[@milosmilos1688]

He would beat Jimmy easily

[@kaismithley6173]

@@Jorg303 That's odd because in the world xc championship they let kipruto (19) run in the regular older age group

[@28481]

Genuine question, not trying to start anything, but why is Israel in this competition?

[@Erik.B]

Good question. As a country, Israel on the map belongs to Asia but the country has many relations with EU and its countries. For example, they participate in Eurovision Song Contest and Europa League. The relations are framed in the European Neighbourhood Policy and Euro-Mediterranean Partnership which tries to connect the countries around the EU with the union. There are some Wikipedia articles if you want some further reading!

walking through the tape is poor form.

[@Requiredfields2]

Yes, only triathletes do that nonsense.

[@daltonpulsipher]

Let’s see him try that vs Jacob

[@gbizzy9922]

@@Requiredfields2 lol triathletes, particularly those doing an ironman, walk through the tape because its an 8+ hour long race where the 2nd place competitor is often minutes behind. @Requiredfields2 complete an ironman and see if you're still running across the finish line, if you could even complete one

[@Requiredfields2]

@@gbizzy9922 You don't understand humor very well do you? You must be triathlete.

[@daltonpulsipher]

G Salmun An IronMan triathlon is generally considered equivalent to a 65 mile run. I did one as a workout one day in college and it wasn’t that bad. To date I have completed about 20 separate 100 mile runs, some of them through the mountains, and I’ve only walked through the finish line a few times when I was injured.

[@steliosgerousis4795]

walking through the line like that is just disrespectful to the sport

[@zelphh9826]

No just a reference to the celebration of umtiti in the demi-finale World cup of football !!! The french Victory ! Then you re the best Jimmy !!!

[@zelphh9826]

@Philippe Fraboulet ++

[@Proxyystillsellz]

completely agree if i did this in one of my american highschool cross country meets my coaches, teammates and fellow competing athletes would all respect me less and probably give me a stern talking to about the importance of running through the line and having great sportsmanship.

VENOM ON THE BEAT this is European champs though

[@egbduf]

It was cringey but like who cares lol

Do not like Jimmie tactics. Serbian guy asked him to lead the race, but no, he was sitting till the last.

[@alexlaro8021]

Arturs O Its a championship race not a Time trial.. Bibic could have slowed down too but decided to lead

[@ArtursOnzuls]

@@alexlaro8021 If you are sitting all the race behind some ones back - this is ok, this is tactics. But when you are asked to go in front, because you are running behind all the time but you are ignoring it - you are a moron. It does not work that way - "he could slow down". No he could not, otherwise that was a big change he will be 3rd or outside top3. Jimmie has very fast finish, you can check his other races, he likes when some one is running "slow" in front.

[@henrywhite9446]

Arturs O mate that’s a tactic that’s running

[@ArtursOnzuls]

@@henrywhite9446 shitty tactics

[@Requiredfields2]

At 18:34 he took over the lead and kept it for the next 6 mins until the finish. So what's the problem? The Serbian decided not to go with him or couldn't, of course. In a race you're not obligated to do what your opponents want you to do. That's why it's a race and that's why they are your opponents.

[@Vivungisport]

Wtf! Are Afrika in Europe?

[@Angrylittleboys]

Gressier is a flog. Horrendous running style and crap form on the finish line. Jakob destroys him.

[@Angrylittleboys]

@Sach'Arts absolutely kidding yourself bud. Jakob has run 13.02 for 5000. Jimmy ain't near that let alone as you say 12.40 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Angrylittleboys]

@Sach'Arts surely you're not that stupid.......

@@drym3943 can only compare track times. Jakob 13.02? Jimmy 13.22? Jakob will run sub 12.50 this year. Might also go sub 3.27. Jimmy might get a good time on a fast monaco 5km race hahaha
