Kerr speaks his mind honestly, which I would take all day every day over canned responses and worn out cliches…

[EightFrancs]

Like him or loathe him, you can clearly see that Kerr is running fast with a lot still left in the tank.

Sprint finish against him will be a very bad strategy in the final.

[strawdog]

He's bringing a lot of confidence! That's half of it I guess.

[CheekyVisuals]

this interview just surged my excitement for the final

[JoshNishitani]

I think it'll be a repeat of the olympic final in terms of order, maybe a tad slower but still 3:30-32. And swap cheruiyot for kipsang

[eightw]

Well he's given himself every chance with that statement, enough to push a little doubt in to the oppositions mind. Good lad.

[onelapmaster]

That's one confident man. Let's see if he can walk the talk.

[petersamaras]

What’s been going on with him this season? After his 3:48 indoor I thought he’d have already run 331-2 outdoors by now. Still pumped to see what he can do

[No_One_Special]

No way Jakob allows this to become a slow tactical final. Expect to see a fast honest pace, something like what we saw in Oslo. It’ll take an average lap time of at least 56 mid to win it.

I don't think Jakob Ingebrigtsen is concerned about what Kerr's opinion is. Jakob Ingebrigtsen runs his race, and you worry about him, he doesn't worry about you.

[dr.mohamedaitnouh]

Great Britain has history with 1500 m I won't be surprised there will be another Steve Cram versus Said Aouita!

[CarlFredrik-uocu]

Kerr should maybe run a couple of 3:28 races before he starts talking about 3:27 (his PB is still 3:29.05)

[jeffitachi]

This time he won't medal mark my words.Jakob and the Kenyans will podium.

[Dojocartwheel]

Kerr is my sleeper pick to take jakob down.

[c-]

Maybe he could have backed off a bit, and saved something for the final.

[prostechlapec]

Its just a normal trashtalking, but people will be mad at him and idk why :DD

[tonymichaelmonchinski]

And I predicted him to not even get on the podium and guess what he did not his teamate won instead

[martinchege]

You guys have decided Kenyans won't be in the race or 🤔

[pablosanchez]

And just watch him lose to Jakob for talking this much

[EzraSchroeder]

It would not surprise me at all if Josh Kerr wins it. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Ingrebritson can't get the gold this time.
