    My biggest take from a guy well littered in gold medals is that the mental change is heavy. All through. Big Talent . I hope the new challenges give you peace of mind

    Amazing athlete. Was lucky enough to see him win the 5000m at the comm games in 2018. I think the highlight of this interview was seeing how engaged Grant Fisher was listening. Clearly a massive amount of respect. I look forward to him running the marathon.

    The Europeans have disrespected us by comparing Jakob to Cheptegei. Jakob ingebrigtsen won 5k because Cheptegei, Kiplimo and Aregawi bowed out of the 5k. The fact that they are saying Jakob is better than Cheptegei and has a shoot at his 5k world record infuriates me. No one compares to THE GREAT. I'm happy for Grant though 2nd bronze.❤🥉🥉🥉
  • Congratulations Cheptegei you were amazing! To run the 5000m and 10,000m is incredible to be able to do this congratulations to all the sprinters that competed.
  • God help us identify exactly what will always make us win in life. Success to ur next new game life.
