Jakob Ingebrigtsen wins first World title with great close in 5K final | NBC Sports

Runnin a 5k at my mile pace…
Bruh

So how does the world record holder not run anything close to his record? Slower race in the history of 5k racing.

Great to see a european not only medal, but take over these long distance races. This kid is one heck of an astonishment.

No obvious contact? Are you kidding? The Kenyan moved to the rail and squeezed the US guy into it because they were overlapping. You can see their legs hit, left outside against right outside.

He destroyed the Africans again!

just wow gg

Congratulations the white guy won 🥇

Grant Fisher just got robbed.

Fisher was cut off. Krop should have been DQed.

I wish the video showed more of the race rather than 2 laps instead of the majority of the race great job NBC.

Catastrophically bad editing

Fisher clipped the Kenyan ahead of him - his shin and the Kenyan's foot.

Never thought I’d ever see someone blow away the Africans the way he did. These guys grow up running at altitude. They train three times a day at training camps. They are so lean and fast. Hard to believe!

I was more impressed with the Guatemalan..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Ahmed, Almost. Keep working my Somali/Canadian bro

The announcer was so focused on the American runner that he ignored the more important race that was going on until the last 60 meters.

Krop tactically closed the space between Fisher and the pole killing fisher’s momentum. he also got clipped a little but it was all clean tactics.

Fischer could have run better tactically and gotten off the rail for the finish but that move by krop should have been reviewed for DQ in my mind. Clear obstruction that led to a poor race finish compared to where he was positioned

3 miles in 13 minutes... crazy

Jacob when he lost the 1500:
“Ok you can have that, but then I’m going to take this.”

They got the TdF highlights so right but this is ridiculous

Puro guate mano

Props to Grijalva for that finish, he passed like 4 or 5 people in the final 200m to get that 4th place

Krop cut off Fisher. No doubt about it. With the other guy on Fishers side, he had no wear to go.

Ugh, where's the full race?

Great race by Jakob, tough break for Grant; I can't tell after multiple re-watches whether or not he was clipped. If anything, it would have been the runner behind him moving to the outside who hit his trailing leg. I don't believe he stepped on the rail, his right leg appears to move laterally for a moment like it contacted the person behind him. In this situation, you have multiple people sharing lanes, it's pointless to assign blame. Only Grant can say, but judging by how much that impact (if there was one) affected him, he was running on fumes. Tough break, but he's still young. He proved he can run well in the heat, I was hoping he'd start pushing the pace in the middle like he did at the U.S. championships.

commentors were cluless

Fisher got cut off. Krop cut in too fast. That was bad form.

Jakob called his shot and delivered!

Doper

It seems East African dominance on 5k will come to an end cos lots of young European and USA athletes are there and they are very promising years to come too

Grant’s worst enemy is the railing, absolutely crushed for him. He’ll be on that podium in the future without a doubt

Wow, that was a fast 5,000m –– just over 8 minutes??? ;o)

Krop should have been disqualified. He very clearly cut Fisher off, impeding his progress and probably costing him a medal.

This young man will break both the 5000 and 1500 world records. Middle distance guys mature in the mid to late 20s and Ingebrigtson is only 21.

Determination

Show the whole race!

Jakob's girlfriend looks awesome and she could wear that whole combo more often in the summer! She could also wear that whole combo tucked in with a belt more often in the summer!

So nice to be told the winner before I view the race!

WOW!

Krop cut off Fisher. Krop had been on the outside of lane 1 then moved inside cutting off Fisher and throwing off his pace, essentially forcing him to the rail and nearly tripping.

Jakob is a beast!!!
Fisher lost momentum but honestly it was his fault he was behind the Kenyan and obviously he can’t see who’s behind.
Grijalva excellent result moved to 4th cuz other people contending for medals the last 3 laps ran out of gas, he knew medal wasn’t an option ran the best he possibly could and almost medaled, but in a championship final you gotta give it all.

i've been following grant fisher since 2014. He basically did the same thing back then on the last curve when he was going for a sub 4 mile indoor in 2014 or 2015. History repeating itself, tough.

What is this? We missed the first 11 mins of the race. What a joke

That was an easy win for Jacob. They make it so easy for him. First the race was very slow then all of the fast runners were tired after their 10km so did not have anything left for kick. He run 54 last lap and he almost had 2second on everyone.

why are these times so far off world record? ?
