The TRUTH About JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN || The 19-Year-Old Prodigy

Subscribe to LetsRun - • Jakob Ingebrigtsen of ...
Jakob Ingebrigtsen. If you haven't heard of him yet, you certainly will over the next few years. From 2017 - 2019, Ingebrigtsen has been a rising star in the sport of Track & Field, and after 2 years of climbing the ladder of greatness, he's now established himself as one of the world's best.
In 2019, he was ranked 8th in the 5,000 meters and 2nd in the 1500. I personally believe he should have been ranked higher given that he was extremely consistent throughout his season. Regardless, he went into the 2019 World Championships with hopes for winning a medal, and becoming one of the youngest champions in track and field history.
His story is undeniably fascinating, but what does his future look like? Will he break multiple world records? Will he be the Olympic or World champion? Or will he ultimately never realize his championship potential? Leave a comment with your thoughts down below!
Thanks for watching!

Doping is so easy to do there and testing is so limited that they all have a cloud of doubt, fair or not. Third, Jakob has been training like a pro since he was like 13. There's no way any American could do that unless they were homeschooled or something. Jakob is talented for sure.

[@psychodelicjoey6710]

He reminds me so much like Jim Ryun. Except that he's getting to do what Jim couldn't. Ryun ran on dirt and cinders, had leather spikes, and horrible diet/training(I swear there was some interview he did where he briefly mentions he drank coke/soda lol). Ryun didn't have the best olympic success due to being unused to high altitude(Mexico 68), and he was tripped in the heats and not reinstated (Munich 72). However he did have a much slower 5K, and a much faster 800m, since he held the WR in the 880y/800m(1:44.9/1:44.3). Interesting to note that both Ryun and Ingebrigtsen have the EXACT same mile pb of 3:51.3, both ran at just 19 years old. I kinda see Jakob as carrying the torch that Ryun left. I want him to succeed and get those medals in 2021.

[@samuelgauthier7355]

Psychodelic yes and?? Some of the best athletes drink beer

[@BuzzedtheTower]

That's because Ryun was an 800/1500 type whereas Jakob is a 1500/5000 type. But it could somewhat be attributed to their training since Ryun did insane things like 20 x 400 as a high schooler. Also, drinking soda isn't some horrible thing. I'm sure he cleaned up his diet as he got older, but most Olympians drink beer or have some sort of snack everyday. Most top athletes just eat a lot more and a lot better than the average person. So a Coke or piece of dark chocolate accounts for a far smaller percentage of his diet than you or me.

His attitude and defiance kind of reminds me of Steve Prefontaine back in the day, who unfortunately died too young to realize his true potential. What concerned me about Jacob, is that he ran the 5,000 at all and I wonder if his father pushed him. I always worry when parents are also the coach. Whether in entertainment or sports over-aggressive parents can be the ruin of talented kids. I think if he would have just run the 1500 he would have gotten the silver.

TRP always does excellent pieces. I learn a lot about long and middle distance runners here. I did hope to hear just a bit more about the siblings though.

[@ap-k6821]

Moving olympics to next year can help Jakob to achieve even more i think. This year had propably been too soon to do big things. If this runner doesn't get injured, he will achieve a lot. Even thought long distance running is one of the hardest sports to stay in the top; one where athletes are most vulnerable for injuries. There are so many talented athletes coming up all the time, and injuries have ruined biggest races from many. I hope Jakob stays healthy and on the track! I would love to see a norwegian to run greatly in the olympics. And this comes from a finn. Ps. we (Finland) are still the most succesfull country in the whole history of long distance running compared to our population, even nowadays we suck...

How is a 19-year-old a "young teenager?"

[@ders.]

I see what you mean and it’s weird phrasing. The adjective young was used to describe him and not the status of being a teenager

u can see he’s disappointed “ yea I’m pretty disappointed “

"Young teenager" lmao he's the oldest a teenager can be

[@dave929]

Korn Does Stuff - But what would they call him once he turns 20? This makes it sound better.

[@kaismithley7384]

I mean being a teenager is young either way, people live a very long time

[@shrek2534]

He doesn't mean young among teenagers. He's being redundant and basically saying young twice to emphasize that the guy's young.

[@keithbagnall6048]

Chronologically, he is six years (and counting) off being "a young teenager" .... the narrator's description is glaringly inaccurate.

[@kaismithley7384]

@@keithbagnall6048 being a teenager is synonymous with being young so yes you can be 19 and also be young

Why don’t do talk about Mo Ahmad? That bronze medal at Doha in the 5000m race was the Canadian first medal

[@Arek152]

I see your point, but Ahmed was born in Somalia and moved to Canada when he was 11. It's like saying that Bernard Lagat won some medals for USA. No offense but personaly, I don't like it.

[@carlfredrikt7220]

Arek Also, Ahmed is 9 years older than Jakob

Arek bro it doesn’t matter where you wore born, all you got know is that he grew up in Canada, plus he is a Canadian citizen

[@abdousaidabdou2201]

There was a 20-ish year old dude wearing sunglasses, boasting about how fast he can run for 800m in front of my 14 years old friend. Then, when the race is on, he was left few seconds behind my friend who ran 800m in barefoot with few tapes. I still remember the dude screaming after finishing the race. Little that he know my friend was under-14 years old national record holder for 5000m run.

8:40 TRP: "his disappointment was obvious" Jakob: "I feel really disappointed"

[@RobertLinthicum]

Would be interesting to know what his coaching and training is like, how it is different from his competitors (and if it is). His talent goes without saying. DNA matters.

[@fanichita]

There is four seasons of a TV show of that called Team Ingebrigtsen. Some of it is on KZbin.

[@gabrielfrias3974]

I'll bet you a few 16 year old east africans can get sub 4s if they tried with proper training

[@albertdiedericks6227]

Well that's not really a good argument to make. You're saying some people can run sub 4 if they had good training, but the fact is they didn't. Jakob put in the effort and trained hard, so he deserves the time. Just because you have the potential to do something, doesn't mean you are going to put in the work.

Not always. Remember, the Pre is running the spring. That would put his birthday in the Fall. A number of boys with birthdays after September will delay entering school.
