Geoff Wightman Reacts To His Son Jake Winning World Championship 1500 Meters Gold

Great story, awesome 👏 👏

Why did Jake choose to represent Scotland? He’s English, so is his dad, his mum’s Welsh, he went to university at Loughborough. I presume he chose to settle in Scotland. Strange though

What a team. What a commentator. What a moment for the family

I always love how down to earth and modest the athletics guys are. Role on the Commonwealth games and Olympics !

Brave to go for it after it didn’t work out so well in Tokyo... takes guts! I like it - all or nothing, don’t settle. Good mentality. So pleased for them both 😊😊😊

brilliant. best interview I've heard from both coach and interviewer.

Great race! I agree no reason to mention the commonwealth games which is a lower ranked tournament. Enjoy the moment as may never win another world's! Well deserved 👏

Brilliant go Team GB 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Hi Geoff, You probable don't remember me, I was a friend of Terry Graham and we used run for Dartford Harriers. Would please wish your son all the best from me as being an old ex runner I appreciate just what goes into achieving your goal. Good luck with the future. Harry Bell, I was the Scottish chap that with Terry.

Seems like a lovely guy who knows the game inside out, would be a true asset to have as a father and coach

Fantastic interview. Great questions and listens to the interviewee.

Curious how his stride makes him rubbish as cross country?

A proud dad congratulations

With a dad and coach like that, the world would be a different place.

Great Stuff! Congrats! More to come I hope!!

Great advice from his wily Dad! It worked! He went ALL-IN at the right time with his 800 speed!

What a top man

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾congratulations to all the family

Great interview - amazing balance! And a great insight for us into stuff that goes on behind the scenes - these performances don't just happen!!!

Well done to shut out the pretentious arrogant Jakob

Congratulations to the Wightman family not forgetting Mum, a lovely son and Dad dream come true !

Fabulous! Well done to both!

Great interview. So pleased for Jake and the rest of a great family

I’ve watched this twice already and I just want to watch it again 🥲 quality interviewing 👏🏼

This was great and heartwarming.

Awesome to see Jake keeping it in the family . His dad and uncle were some runners too with Dartford harriers London . 👏👏👏👏

This was an awesome interview.

I love seeing parents so proud. They're trying to hold back, but why? Your baby grew up to be the best! 😁

Proud day we are happy for thee

Smart guy

What an engaging guy. It felt like this interview was 20 seconds long...

I think his opponent took the shot and it’s showing..

highlight of these world championships

If you can't be smug and proud, when your son just won such a big race against the best in the world then their was a nice correct time.He me at be so proud to f his son and himself and his coaching methods 🙌👍👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙌🙌❤️

Great Interview! Congratulations to Jake! 🎊🎉🎊🎉💐

What a great interview! Thanks Coach 👌🏽

Phenomenal!

Educated interviewer getting the best from a coach/dad. Well done

Jake's dad is so cool. Wow! I'd be on meltdown now if that was my son

as a track fan for 35 years i still dont understand how a faster time in a shorter event helps you in the longer event and ive rarely seen it turn out to be proven. in any event.

Great interview. Smart questions to such a nice, humble and eloquent guy. Well deserved!

Yeah, I was at that Scottish 4K championship race. Wasn't my best performance either. 😂

Excellent interview! I love how he explained and gave specific information

What a wonderful Dad! 👍😁

Ace!!

What a lovely man! So eloquent about his sport.
