Yeah I agree it was an accurate assessment of the situation and very humble too. A lot of people suddenly think Jakob should switch events because of his lack of gold medals in these global championships but they also seem to forget he did just run a 3:26 1500m this year. If it wasn’t for Jakob the 1500m scene would still look like it did in 2016 slow tactical affairs with a blistering last lap, but what’s just my take on the situation. Hoping Grant can upgrade both of his bronze in future championships. Team USA!!!
@@seanthat0126 Facts. You don't run at 3:26 and then stop doing it because you don't win the Olympics. I think he is still the best 1500m runner in the world.
Because he ducked interviews for 4 days out of embarrassment. Then wins gold and talks about wanting to win “honorably”. Umm, what? They don’t give medals out to the most honorable runner, they give them out to the guys that finish 1-2-3. Just swallow your pride and admit that you ran a tough race and they had to run an OR to beat you, instead you sound like an asshole.
Ronald wasn’t answering how to change his tactics to beat Jakob, he actually wasn’t listening. Watch it again, Ronald suddenly snaps out of it, realizing it’s a question to him, looks to Jakob like “me? I’m supposed to answer??” So Ronald answers the last question he remembers, which was the question to Fisher “if you were in Jacobs shoes, 1500 or 5000/10,000?” So Ronald answers the damn question, “1500 or 5k… or 10k?” 😂😂😂😂😂
Jakob Ingebrigtsen says "it's all about spending your energy wisely, and making good decisions". This is so profoundly true, simple as it may sound. I believe Jakob feels deep down that going out at world record pace in the 1500 for the first 2 laps was ultimately his undoing, and left him helpless to reach launch a kick in the last 150 meters. HIs victory in the 5000 was brilliant. Jakob was not caring about a world record this time. He probably realized, and therefore laid back, since the Olympics is ALL ABOUT THE GOLD MEDAL. So much was expected of him from his country (i.e. Norway's media) and when he did not win, it was total humiliation. Therefore, come the 5000 Meters, Jakob wisely hung back, biding his time, conserving his energy, and when the fabulous Kenyan decided to tear away from the back, and in essence demoralize everyone else from trying to run him down. Jakob waited and then, KERBLAM-O, he accelerated perhaps two gears, and hauled him down. I'm not saying it was effortless; by no means. As usual, there were squawks and barbs about the race being "slow". Balderdash. The pace was a bit slower---until the last mile. I read where Jakob Ingebrigtsen's last mile was a scorching 3:51! 3:51............. Think about it. Jakob looked SO smooth doing that 3:51 last mile. This race reminds me of the tactics of the great Finn, Lasse Viren. Lasse just kept getting faster and faster in 1972, finally wearing out the USA's Steve Prefontaine. In 1976, Lasse, over the last mile, almost imperceptibly began picking up the pace, and amazingly, would not allow Dixon, Quax, or Hildebrand to pass him. Lasse's times I don't remember; I just remember his GREATNESS during each of those gold medal wins. With this brilliant 2024 Olympic 5000 meters gold medal victory, that corking last mile time of 3:51 SHOULD BE REMEMBERED.
@@jeff09_ you mean the mental side of narcissism and lack of humility. Yes, it’s truly perplexing to continue to get smoked on an international stage and still lack good sportsmanship.
@@alexestridge He shook everyone's hand after the race and congratulated Hocker on social media. The only thing that is perplexing is the narrative that people keep pushing around. Also 3 gold medals in the 5k, a gold medal in the 1500m, and two silvers in the 1500m is not getting smoked. It is a better record than quite literally anyone else in those two events at the moment.
@@joshuaolayanju9658 why do people keep pushing it? Because he keeps making excuses every time he loses. Shaking hands means nothing, he more than likely does it because narcissistic people want to put on an act like they’re “normal.” I’m totally okay with his attitude, I actually believe it’s somewhat necessary to achieve the things that he has. However, to deny that he’s not a narcissistic sore loser is foolhardy. He literally said “it’s going to be a walk in the park.” You don’t get to say that, get blown by in the last 150 and still have people defending you. Sorry. You ran your mouth and you lost to a better runner that day. No one is going to care about how the race was won.
@@alexestridge You kind of did you nitpicking with this. I mentioned a social media post where he specifically congratulated Hocker, Nuguse, and Kerr. Here is a snippet, “Well, I guess he did show up after all…! Hocker and Nuguse as well. My team always say that “because you have a big mouth and is the one to beat, you have everything to lose in competitions”. Today, Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse and Josh Kerr outsmarted me. They were “the best guys” when it really mattered. And I want to congratulate them all on a great performance!”. No excuses just a classy statement respecting his competition right after the race. There is nothing wrong with him confidently saying he is going to win and falling short. All of the big four said talked about going for gold as well and of course only one guy came out on top. There is more I can say but it looks like your mind is already made up so it doesn’t matter.
@@joshuaolayanju9658of course I am nitpicking. That’s the whole point. I’m in a profession which involves dissecting peoples words and actions, I just so happen to love track and field. Jakob always dances around coming out and saying that he was just out right beaten. There are always caveats to his congratulatory statements. “I want to win in a way that’s honorable”, “they outsmarted me”, it comes off as arrogance. What he really meant to say is, I’m so narcissistic that I didn’t even consider Nuguse and Hocker. It cost him a medal. You won’t hear him say that, I believe this will make him better. He needed to be humbled and I’m glad the Americans were the ones to do it.
Ronald seemed pretty bummed about the silver. Jakob seemed pretty gracious and humble. When he runs, it seems to make everyone else run faster. He is the pacesetter. If you are in a close race with him, you know that you are running fast.
Jakob was pretty subdued after winning gold. I wonder if he is now feeling the effect of a grueling season. That being said maybe he is planning in achieving a world record before the season is done. I would not be surprised if he plans a 1500k record soon.
He is scheduled to run the 1500 in Lausanne, and the 3000m three days later in Silesia (same meeting where he set his 1500m PB last season). I would not be shocked if he could break both world records in such a short time seeing as he was able to run 3:43 and 7:23 within 24 hours
i did not see it live , had no clue who won until I saw a later in the night. I was screaming at the TV for Fisher to give that extra push and seeing he did it was awesome/ I ran sprints in high school and never been close to what these guys been doing. It was a great race and nice to see someone not give up and by doing that he now has an other Olympic Medal Congrats Grant , way to make America Proud with a capital P. Peace and go USA
I think his (what would be considered abject) failure in the 1500 was a good reality check for him. He sounds a little more humble here than he sometimes has in the past. Still, very articulate and engaging young man - and a wicked 5K. Well done.
@ytsn There are no runners that always win and there are no runners in middle to long distance that win gold in 3 consecutive Olympics but it might be possible for Jacob to get gold in 3or 4 consecutive Olympics
i like watching Jackob race because he runs with a rare fearlessness at the front but my girlfriend just roots for him to lose and while i dont agree with that opinion she says he seems too cocky, but i know to become a champion runner and break world records there is a high level of confidence thats very necessary...
Jakob has incredible conditioning to run all these races and still win. That being said, with the strength, conditioning and foot speed of several of his competitors in the 1,500m, it will be difficult for him to dominate that event in the future. Perhaps he should focus on the 5k and 10k going forward.
Well, he does win the 1500m when he doesn't lead more than 500m of the race. So it's just a straight out stupid tactic of him to not follow that principle.
I wish the event organisers were able to open the floor to the general public. Perhaps a AMA style forum, where top questions get voted to the top then asked? I think we'd see much better questions than what we heard from these Journalists.
If they really knew what he sacrifices to be where he is they wouldn’t have asked that question. It’s a bit disrespectful. Jakob has had almost no time with his new family because he’s had to prioritize getting ready for the olympics. So ask about that. If you want to be the best ever, it demands everything from you. So ask about that. Don’t corner him with questions that he can’t answer because he’s had no chance to experience anything of it yet. Becoming the best ever is very very very hard and comes with sacrifices, so be respectful and ask relevant questions.
I'm disappointed! I can't watch the best stayers in the world succumb to the average Ingebritsen for several years in a row! Where are the coaches looking??
@@maxim3735you would describe a guy with a 3:26 1500m, 3:43 mile, the world record in the 2K, an Olympic gold in the 1500m, 2 World Champs gold in the 5K before last night, and now an Olympic gold after closing with a 3:51 last 1600m as average? What does it take to be a good athlete in your books, I wonder 😉
I always thought it was a fluke when Jakob lost important 1500 races. But now, I'm convinced it's psychological. He can run unimportant races just fine, but when the pressure's on, he's so afraid of losing the 1500 he goes out too fast and gets passed at the end. He doesn't seem to have this issue in the 5000. It's like how Jon Lester could throw to 2nd and 3rd just fine, but not 1st. I wonder if he'd benefit from seeing a sports psychologist.
That’s not it. If you actually listened to what he said here, you’d already have your answer. It’s not about only winning for Jakob. It’s about HOW you win. He wants to show, to himself and to everyone else, that he’s the best. The most dominant. He wants to run in as pure a way as possible. Simply outrun everyone else. Not because he chose the correct tactic, or schemed and plotted his way to victory. That would be a hollow victory to him. He wants to just be better than everyone else in 10/10 races. That’s why he said that he doesn’t want to change his tactics, he just wants to get better. So he can run and win his way, in the most clean and ethical way possible. I have the same mindset so I understand him. Not everyone will but I don’t think he’s too concerned about that. When your goal is to become the best ever and have every world record from 1500 to the marathon you’re doing it to prove it to yourself. That’s the person you need to impress. This is how Jakob is, and does things. If everybody understood that there would be no talk about arrogance. People would see that it’s just absolute determination and accountability. The single pursuit of greatness.
Would someone kindly answer some questions from a n00b who doesn't know anything about T&F? 1) Why is the 1500m the only one that people seem to care about? I would've thought that winning a 5k would be more impressive. 2) Why didn't Josh Kerr, Cole Hocker, or Yared Nuguse compete in the 5000m too?
The 1500m, like what Grant said is really the “middle-middle distance” event in track. Its not quite long enough to be considered a bit boring to watch but its not so short that the event finishes super quickly.
The 1500m, like what Grant said is really the “middle-middle distance” event in track. Its not quite long enough to be considered a bit boring to watch but its not so short that the event finishes super quickly. For the other medalists in the 1500m, it was probably a personal decision for them so that they could focus on the 1500m training exclusively. If you compare the duration of the events (think like 3-4 minutes for the 1500m, and ~13 minutes for the 5000m) the difference favours some athletes moreso than others.
Fishers ten km medal was sensational. Was that not the fastest 10k time from a white guy ever? What a performance. Then to back it up in the 5km. Amazing.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
stop comparing times in olympics. its about winnining. they all started slow. if they tried winning it would be faster.they cant beat a 1500 runner in i 5 k if they runs like this. jajob would win anyway

@@rosemariefinnoen5593 Jakob can't even win a 1500m final and I doubt he would beat a bekele or mo Farah's last lap speed ,mo farah is a 3:28 1500m runner and has a faster 400m speed.
Lol, so he lost and all of a sudden it’s “I’d rather win in a way that’s honorable”. Well I’m sure Hocker is plenty happy with his “dishonorable” Gold. You got smoked on the back 50 by a guy who has a nasty kick and wanted it more. You’re speaking out of both sides of your mouth, “the goal is to finish first”, so which is it? The race isn’t given to the toughest guy, sorry to say Jacob, you can fool everyone into thinking your tough but words don’t mean anything, on the biggest stage, you put it all out there and got got, he ran a 3:27 brother, that’s all you have to say, stop with your passive bullshit, it’s why people want you to lose.
He never called his gold "dishonorable". He was answering a question based on his own tactics and for himself. Brother, the only mad person here is you.

Grant's answer as to what he would do if he was in Jakob's shoes is one of the best answers ever given in the history of post-race press conferences
Grant gives some of the best interviews pre-race or post-race, eloquent, thoughtful and genuine. Just an added bonus being a Grant fan 😇
Agreed. Grant is such a great person and always responds to questions with great intelligence. You gotta love the guy.

Remarkable achievement by Fisher to medal in both events. I don't think it's sunk in yet for him, but it will.
Yep. That move to Utah really paid off!!
I'm surprised at how few journalists there are at these post-race interviews - even for the really major competitions.

Shoot give me a seat there Id love to ask the athletes different questions from the very obvious and over-asked questions

He wants to show, to himself and to everyone else, that he’s the best. The most dominant. He wants to run in as pure a way as possible. Simply outrun everyone else. Not because he chose the correct tactic, or schemed and plotted his way to victory. That would be a hollow victory to him. He wants to just be better than everyone else in 10/10 races. That’s why he said that he doesn’t want to change his tactics, he just wants to get better. So he can run and win his way, in the most clean and ethical way possible. I have the same mindset so I understand him. Not everyone will but I don’t think he’s too concerned about that. When your goal is to become the best ever and have every world record from 1500 to the marathon you’re doing it to prove it to yourself. That’s the person you need to impress. This is how Jakob is, and does things. If everybody understood that there would be no talk about arrogance. People would see that it’s just absolute determination and accountability. The single pursuit of greatness.
If im an athlete i would rather quit and leave the press conference room ... this is pure racism ..im proud Ethiopian ... my brother kenyan im sorry
You clowns throw that word around so much, nobody takes it seriously anymore.
Would someone kindly answer some questions from a n00b who doesn't know anything about T&F? 1) Why is the 1500m the only one that people seem to care about? I would've thought that winning a 5k would be more impressive. 2) Why didn't Josh Kerr, Cole Hocker, or Yared Nuguse compete in the 5000m too?
The 1500m, like what Grant said is really the “middle-middle distance” event in track. Its not quite long enough to be considered a bit boring to watch but its not so short that the event finishes super quickly.
The 1500m, like what Grant said is really the “middle-middle distance” event in track. Its not quite long enough to be considered a bit boring to watch but its not so short that the event finishes super quickly. For the other medalists in the 1500m, it was probably a personal decision for them so that they could focus on the 1500m training exclusively. If you compare the duration of the events (think like 3-4 minutes for the 1500m, and ~13 minutes for the 5000m) the difference favours some athletes moreso than others.
@@gilmotier it's just entertainment, the most entertaining one attracts the most people and becomes the most competitive one
Yared hates the 5000.
Is it just me or his reply to the first question pretty strange?
Jakob answer one question please
guy almost said 1500m
No name tag OR mention of second place in the video title, you guys are F’ed up. Hard to not read between the lines here.
He didnt put the name tag up😂 You can see it lying next to the Powerade bottle
Fishers ten km medal was sensational. Was that not the fastest 10k time from a white guy ever? What a performance. Then to back it up in the 5km. Amazing.
@user-ly8dq9tb8c Jakob is kind of white too ;-)
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
where’s grant 😞
just watch a little longer bro lol
Getting drug tested...
@@nathanplant9893 yea i did my bad
@@tascrphs and yelled at
Ingebrigtsen is still best! These men are great!💐
jakob got the last laugh against Josh kerr i guess.
A very easy era of the 5000m , bekele or mo farah would have made it impossible for him to win
stop comparing times in olympics. its about winnining. they all started slow. if they tried winning it would be faster.they cant beat a 1500 runner in i 5 k if they runs like this. jajob would win anyway
@@rosemariefinnoen5593Would’ve been interesting I think Mo Farah has one of the deadliest last 800m in a 5000m race. Definitely would’ve been a amazing race. I guess we’ll never know, their prs only a few seconds apart.
@@rosemariefinnoen5593 Jakob can't even win a 1500m final and I doubt he would beat a bekele or mo Farah's last lap speed ,mo farah is a 3:28 1500m runner and has a faster 400m speed.
So we’re not going to mention the Kenyan’s name in the title…only the two white guys…make it make sense
Lol, so he lost and all of a sudden it’s “I’d rather win in a way that’s honorable”. Well I’m sure Hocker is plenty happy with his “dishonorable” Gold. You got smoked on the back 50 by a guy who has a nasty kick and wanted it more. You’re speaking out of both sides of your mouth, “the goal is to finish first”, so which is it? The race isn’t given to the toughest guy, sorry to say Jacob, you can fool everyone into thinking your tough but words don’t mean anything, on the biggest stage, you put it all out there and got got, he ran a 3:27 brother, that’s all you have to say, stop with your passive bullshit, it’s why people want you to lose.
He never called his gold "dishonorable". He was answering a question based on his own tactics and for himself. Brother, the only mad person here is you.
@@beeloop156I literally quoted him, maybe learn how to read and get off Jakobs nuts fanboy.
@@beeloop156 it’s called insinuation, add this to the many times he’s lost on the big stage and made excuses and it’s not hard to read.
@@beeloop156 thanks for deleting all my responses
I’m gonna paste what I just wrote in another comment so you’ll understand.

That black guy looks so dejected. He is really disappointed with silver.
