[@dcnole]

The fact that Yared was in the lead pack of 5 at the bell, ran a 25.24 final 200 in 3000m race, and LOST by over half a second is literally insane. Like, if you told me that info, I would have bet every cent I owned on him winning. Kerr was just on another level.

[@noahfreo1148]

Kerr was simply not. He has been proven to use illicit substances such as fentanyl, giving him an exceeding advantage. The fact that Yared was within half a second is more impressive as he was not dooted on the zoot like Kerr. Kerr should be relegated and forgotten and Yared is the HOFer.

You seem to have forgotten Yared Nuguse

[@thewalkingjoke3843]

[@InfiniteQuest86]

Geez, Olympics are going to be worth watching again this year.

[@tulyar57]

Glad you mentioned Nuguse's finish. Watching the race live I felt that he was caught 'flat footed' 3/4 through the race but finished as strongly as Kerr (like Ovett's defeat of Coe in the 1980 Olympic 800m final). I think he may be a dark horse for Paris as I have a feeling the 1500m final may be very tactical.

[@johnowens22]

Agree 100%

[@luckyspurs]

Kerr could have finished faster had he not put the energy in to place himself right on the 14th lap. Nuguse didn't have the energy to get up there; Kerr did.

[@Dojocartwheel]

Nuguse is my favorite for gold in the 1500. Ive commented this before, I think nuguse is the most talented middle distance runner in the world today.

[@tulyar57]

@@luckyspursYou may be right about Nuguse not being able to waste energy but I don't think Kerr could have gone faster. Sprinting at the end of the race is about using different muscle twitch fibres. I still think Nuguse (and possibly others) has the ability to win a tactical 1500m.

[@iainallan5667]

Reading these comments, it's like Nuguse is Ametican, of course he us better despite being beaten again.

[@sudetank1]

I never thought I'd say it but I think Kerr has to be favourite in the 1500 this Olympic year. No idea what condition Jakob will be in, but it's hard to see him matching the closing power of an in-form Kerr. I hope it will be a race for the ages but much will depend on how fit Ingebrigtsen can get by then. Some of these other athletes could make it fascinating to watch too (Nuguse et al.) Can't wait!

[@helensuzanne8785]

It’s going to be so good! Nuguse, Cole Hocker, Hobbs Kessler, Nordås will have more experience & Jake Wightman will hopefully be back to his best after injury but yes I think Josh Kerr my be the favourite. Hard to know where Jakob will be at. Mo Katir will not be there. Then there’s more outsiders… woweee

[@MrSupplementScene]

Ingebrigsten's only shot of beating Kerr is to run the finish out of him. But it's not like Kerr didn't beat him in a fast race when he ran 3:29. Kerr might even be able to run faster than ingebrigsten over the 1500m at this stage. It's such an exciting Olympic event though.

[@geometron3646]

Fair play to Kerr. The Ingebrigtsen clan is in disarray and he can capitalise... and tbh if he continues on this renewed trajectory he might do it in any condition. Epic performances from the Europeans, who were the deadmen of middle and long-distance running for most of my life.

[@trickydicky2908]

Nice hair Beamish. John Walker and Rod Dixon must be proud‼️

[@moaningpheromones]

Josh seems like he's not just gifted physically and speedy, but also has a great running / training IQ - he makes all the right noises.

[@liberty5069]

Fast kicks are only impressive relative to how quick the overall race goes, but Kerr still has an insanely fast kick. Nuguse needs to position himself better to utilize his strong kick. Kerr has that part down pat.

[@helensuzanne8785]

I’m a coffeclub pod fan & I thought he had an outside chance of grabbing a medal. I’m also Norwegian so I was cheering for him & Nordås but this was so cool to see! I hope Nordås comes through for outdoors. He’s very funny in his Norwegian interviews. Not deliberately funny, just ridiculously open with what he says. He’s not as confident or experienced as Jakob. And of course one wonders a bit about doping with all these guys but especially when they have a super fast progression, but with Nordås there are at least some other factors that can explain it.

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

Is Geordie Beamish his real name ? I live in the North East of England commonly known as Geordie land and just a few miles from my location is a fantastic living museum called Beamish.

From what I saw Nuguse was actually closing on Kerr in the last 100. He just timed his kick a little late with Kerr’s amazing speed.

[@fin2-em2mf]

Nuguse is an idiot

[@gabortube1]

After a race in a relatively moderate pace one can run a fast finish. After a near world record pace the final kick is slower. That is natural. There are about 6 athletes from the above mentioned list who can run the last lap under 53 seconds or indoor under 26 seconds. Beamish’s 26,2 was spectacular regarding his 1500 PB.

[@eatonfedako]

It’s going to be hard for Kerr to keep this level of fitness up until the world championship, also Jakob’s injury is much less severe than most people think. He’s actually been running during the winter, including threshold and hill sessions as you can see on instagram and Strava. I still think Ingebrigtsen is the favorite.

[@RunLuppa]

He doesn't have Strava so you just made that up. He said last month that he barely ran for four months.

Kerr is definitely the favorite going into the Olympics. I'd put Nuguse as second. Ingebrigsten is just an unknown, will he even have the fitness to keep up?

[@crosslink1493]

Great race by Kerr, he found that closing kick speed he had back in college and ramped it up to "international fast." Nuguse had a great race, too, his final 200m must have been very close to that of Kerr's final 200m. I liked Hobb Kessler's run in the 1500m, he just needs to get faster in that last 200m-400m. He lead most of the 1500m here, had a few steps on the field at the bell, but just got outrun by Beamish and Hocker. He mentioned in a post race interview that these indoor races with small tracks and tight turns are getting him used to the bumping and pushing found so often in international races. Might want to keep him in mind for the Paris final (if he makes it through the USA Trials). Great meet with great racing all around 400m - 3000m.

[@whahappened8398]

Well Paris will be a feast for you middle distance tragics. There's never been so much talent . But who will be the 'race pace bunny ' ? I suspect McSweyn will go to the front early. The young Turks, Kessler and Myers will be daunted by even being at the Olympics. The freight train runners , Jacob, Kerr, Wightman will amp it with 800 to go. If Beamish can find a way to stay with that group, his new found confidence might surprise again. History travels in rythyms , and all I can tell you my fellow tragics is, 'underestimate a Kiwi at your own peril '. In an Olympic final, race tactics can go out the window at the crack of the starter's pistol. Kerr is very comfortable in his skin at this time... Jacob's a mystery at the moment. Just to line up in the Paris final will be an achievement by itself. " Let the Games begin ".
