I was impressed with Kerr today and deep down I thought he would Win . I'm a Jacob fan so, I wanted him to Win .... that being said , I think Jacob has a lot more upside this season and will make more improvements in training and racing thru Olympics
@@user-qk7id7ev9u well Jakob has been injuried this winter, he even belived for a while this event would come to early for him and still was that close.
@@jkdure Injury is no excuse. All athletes get injured. Look at Wightman struggling in the same race. But it wasn't close, Kerr got in front and stayed there for 600m. Should be a great rivalry between them. Ingebrigtsen has the faster times, but racing isn't about times, it's about beating everyone else.
@@jkdureIt will be the subconscious mental damage done by this defeat that may hit him with Kerr on his shoulder in the Olympic final. Competition is not only a physical thing.
@@user-qk7id7ev9u Wightman could fly under the radar, missed a lot of 2023 due to his foot injury; likely just missing some sharpening. So I think this was an ok race for him.
That is impressive and he deserves attention. It is worth noting that Jakob ran a 3:52.28 mile at 17, but he also ran a 3:31.18 1500m at 17, which equals a 3:47.92 mile.
Kerr was always going to come out on top here any way they ran this, simply because he's been racing well. No matter how fit you are, without racing it's near impossible to hit top form. This was Ingebrigtson's season opener, dude hasn't raced in months. Everything could change between now and Paris, so grab some popcorn.
Kerr is in great shape. But last year, Jakob ran a 3:43.73 with at 54.7 last lap. Kerr would not have been able to keep up with that. I'm looking forward to this season.
I wish the camera person would have shown all runners as they crossed the line. I'm always interested in the race as a whole, not just the top 3! Really annoys me!
@@xjship well, there is this performance advantage from the bouncy tracks and carbon shoes.. Throw in a few pacers and wavelight technology, not surprised there are so many sub 3:50 milers now.
@@ZATHURAKEYIn the eyes of the world, it is clear that Jakob does not like to be put under pressure on track. There is no gritting of teeth and snarling to get ahead. Just a curious insipid resignation of defeat?. You could see in this race how much more FIGHT Kerr had.
Great race. Very strong move by Josh to go from 600 out. Thanks for posting.

For jakobs season opener, this is really solid
Yeah. There's nothing like being soundly beaten -again - to improve your confidence.

World Best Performance for Cameron Myers - smashed Jacob's previous age 17 worlds best. Jacob ran 3:52.26 and Myers ran 3:50.15 here.

Do the Kenyan Runners know about this? Seems like they have been loosing alot lately.

Jakob looked really good for a season opener. The Olympics are going to be really fun!
Thanks for not spoil the result and for the quick upload!!
Kerr... psychological advantage.
wow what a race, the field too so much talent!
What a stacked field
Nice Jakob your achilles better now, no worries. It took the heat 👍🏃.
Two words: Brilliant race.
Great job Josh 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glorious!
Good to see George Beamish under 3.50, two kiwis currently under that mark along with Sam Tanner.

Josh Kerr gets more confident with every race.
Ingy congratulates and shakes hands with Kerr at 5:20. The beef is not as raw as the media plays it out to be 😌
Shame about hobbs I wanted to see him do well

Kerr does it again. He got Inge on the back straight and could not be caught.
Guys with tatoos are not scared of needles, Jakob!
I don't understand. Can you explain?

🎉#KERR has made the mile a race again. Thank you for sending years of boring 1500 and mile performances. The past couple years have been awesome.
The Mile has been fantastic for years ( decades ) , not boring at all
Grandissimo Kerr,puo' battere Inge sia in volata,sia sul ritmo

Alvarado looks like hes ready to break 3.30 soon

Mensa memeber announcer..'Josh Kerr doesn't want to take the lead..as JK takes the lead'..
Last lap must have been 53 mid to high
Almost perfect.
New technology deepest field and they still can’t break El Garroush record …
these guys are clean. what we are witnessing is incredible

Whats the rubbish at the end of the clip?
😂
The way Americans say Notre dame is embarrassing
cool but its not the Olympics, this tactic wont work there
Kerr has a much better kick so it doesn't have to work then
Kerr is in his head two in a row
How do you know that?
A Brit spoiling Ingebrigtsen's day again.
The tactic of finishing ahead of everyone else always works.
Ugh
I agree .... Kerr won't be beating Jacob much more
@@ZATHURAKEY you read my mind 😂
