    Credit to Edinburgh Athletics Club which produced Jake Wightman and Josh Kerr, two lads who grew up only a few miles from each other and who trained and raced alongside each other before they had even reached their teens. The first British athletes to win the World 1500 title in forty years!

      @@sharpvidtube yes, but the technological advances in the shoes since 2019 (that are meant to improve performance by between 1 & 1.5% - 2 to 3 secs) and the Mondo track in Budapest mean that a 3:29 is more like a 3:32 on early 80's tracks and with spikes from that period. It was an incredible run by Josh and he proved himself the best in the world on the day it matters, but we should be careful in comparing times (especially in 1500m and above due to the exponential effect on return of energy given) from performances from different eras. Cram of 85 would have no problems running significantly faster than he did on today's scene.

      Kerr's was the stronger run physically, but I think Wightman's was a little better, a little braver. Because Josh had the advantage of knowing the Wightman Solution, he could be confident in how it could be done. But Jake had to invent that solution with his dad (echoes of the Coes) out of nothing but belief.

    I remember last time out, some bloke was banging on about how Ingebritsen was unbeatable and days later Wightman beat him at the worlds. I wonder if that bloke is still banging on now ?

    The runners attitude when the camera tracks past them before the race is hilarious. You would've thought they were in the WWE.

    Well Done Kerr, Well Deserved Win!! He should celebrate his win till Christmas and then get back to work. Next year is going to be brutal! The Europeans and Africans are coming to Paris with a vengeance!
    Ingebrigtsen should not be disappointed with his 2nd Place. He's already an Olympic Champion at such a tender age and he's going to be around for a while, I see him taking over the way Bekele and Gebresellasie did in their heyday, and simply running away with the field, and from it in the future.

    Excellent Kerr race similar to Wightman's last year. I don't understand the Kenyan athlete who 'pulls' the first lap in 56': tactically playing Ingebrigtsen's game ...

      @@markgardiner1742 Here’s what is unfortunate - that they are so many people like you get wound up by a gesture to the crowd. He’s not the first to do it in a race. Ovett did it all the way up the home straight time while demolishing top-class fields and I don’t recall a single rival complaining. They just tried to do better next time.
      It’s the petty-minded and grudging observers who moan. Get over it. The sport needs personalities.
      And trust me, no one was more thrilled than me that Josh Kerr won.

      @@joejoejoe4577 well ovett is one of my sporting heroes and I might be wrong but I doubt he did that in a semi. That is setting you up for as you say people like me to criticise when he comes up short. I'm sure you will agree he thought all he had to do was turn up.

    Poor comment regarding Coe not winning the world Champs. He could have given a bit of background information ie.They were not even invented until 1983. Prior to that there was a different event called the IAAF World Cup in which Coe did win the 800 metres Gold Medal and Ovett won the 1500 metres.
