    For those wondering, here is Jakob's progression in the 1500m
    2012 (11 years old, turning 12 that year): 4:21.98
    2013 (12 years old, turning 13 that year) 4:15.87
    2014 (14 years old (yup, you read right, he turned 14 1 day before this race)): 4:05.49
    2015 (14 years old, turning 15 that year) 3:48.37
    2016 (15 years old, turning 16 that year): 3:42.44
    2017 (16 years old, turning 17 that year): 3:39.92
    2018 (17 years old, turning 18 that year): 3:31.18
    2019 (18 years old, turning 19 that year): 3:30.16
    2020 (19 years old, turning 20 that year): 3:28.68
    Can't wait for the future

      @@aguyfromnewzealand3392 He's already the fastest non-African runner of all time in the 1500m, 2000m, and the 3000m. Steve Cram is the fastest non-African guy in the mile with
      3:46.32, and Dieter Baumann is the fastest non-African in the 5000m with 12:54.70. I'd say Jakob was capable of those times in 2020, but he didn't run a single mile or 5000m that season. The fact that he has surpassed Sebastian Coe, Steve Cram, Steve Ovett, Fermin Cacho, Nick Willis, Mo Farah, Taoufik Makhloufi, and Rui Silva (time-wise) is just mindboggling to me.

      He has actually beaten Jakob's WR for 11-year-olds in the 1500m (he improved it from 4:21.98 to 4:21.2) The question is how he will progress. He is 7 years younger than Jakob, and is obviously super talented, but I have found no results for him from 2020 (only 2019 and earlier seasons)

      @@ThePierrezx That would be interesting. I heard one of the Kenyans (I think it was Jacob Krop (so many great runners named Jacob/Jakob)) speak highly of Jakob I.
      I remember seeing a short documentary on CZcams where the Kenyans called Craig Mottram the big mzungu (big white man) They said that Mottram had "the heart of a lion" as opposed to "the heart of a chicken", meaning that he had great courage, determination, and stamina. A rare feature for the non-African runners to be a threat among the East-African runners. There are only a few non-African runners each generation that leaves a great mark/legacy on distance running. Some good examples are: Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett, Steve Cram, Fermin Cacho, Dieter Baumann, Craig Mottram, Galen Rupp, Evan Jager, Sondre Norstad Moen, Suguru Osako, Stewart McSweyn, Jake Wightmann, and OF COURSE Jakob Ingebrigtsen. I can't wait to see the future of distance running. The Ingebrigtsens, Cheptegei, Kipmlimo, Kipruto, Barega, Edris, Gebrhiwet, Kejelcha, Burgin etc. It's gonna be Legen-Dary.

      I one one thing for sure, his saying he has no talent, presumably just hard work got him where he is, is not realistic, lacks knowledge, or ( I hope not this) he is being deliberately grandiose suggesting it was only from his efforts from a mere average individual. Yet all the progression from 12 years suggests otherwise. Either way, he appears so famous in Norway, when in fact he is not the equivalent international standard of its great skiers ( especially cross country). The young African runners are more humble, and never say they are going to be the best, and must win, just attempt to be so by demonstration. Big difference.

    You can't say you didn't push your child into running or push them hard, and then have them run a 4:21 mile at 12 years old, like his father says. I don't get why he felt the need to lie about that, it's like bodybuilders lying about how many calories they eat. They feel like it detracts from the accomplishment and they want people to think that the majority of their abilities come from 99% genetic talent and 1% hard work. In every sport, and even in games like chess, the best performers are the ones whose parents raised them doing it when they were the only ones who knew the big picture. Little 4-10 year old Jakob didn't understand why he was running, just that it was always a part of his life. Again, it doesn't detract from the accomplishments, so I don't see the reason to leave out that early start, which is often more than a decade before their peers start the sport in high school. I am very excited to see how far Jakob can go with all of that said, he's phenomenal.

    In order to be the BEST, you have to first break all three of Daniel Komens long standing World records, all set before 1997 or earlier
    1- The mind bending 7min 58sec for two miles, the time he set on the second occasion when he went under 8min
    Komen ran the first mile quicker than Roger Bannister did, whilst breaking under that magical 4minute barrier, and then went on to run a further mile at the same pace as Bannister.
    Daniel Komen is still the only human being to have gone under 8min for two miles, so that's record number one.
    2- Then there's both the 3000m indoor and outdoor World Records, 7min 24sec for the indoor, and a scarcely believable 7min 20sec outdoors.
    All these records were set nearly twenty five years ago, and no athlete has even come close to beating them.
    Dear Mr Ingebritsen, until you come anywhere near these records, you will be just another one of the other hugely talented athletes, of whom there are hundreds from Ethiopia and Kenya
