It's funny how the commentator said "Once held by Steve Cram" with such disappointment, because he is Steve Cram. Just watched his own British record get broken and commentate on it too 😂😂

1. Jakob lightly applauded immediately after the race.

2. Kerr and Jakob shook hands.

Kerr is obviously the form favourite - but given it’s Ingebrigtsen’s first 2024 race - wow, he will only get better.
I think Nuguse will be a little disappointed

[paulwilson]

Simply superb from Josh Kerr done yourself and Scotland proud.

[jayleppanen]

Obviously Jakob was quite happy about the race, even if he lost to Josh. Maybe he thought he would do worse after the injury.

[DarrenBates]

A mile that lived up to the hype. Golden age of athletics.

[terenceorourke]

What running and racing is all about. Fantastic competition by men willing to take risks to be the best.

[kennethlandau]

Kerr a monster in this one dismantling a world class field

[leeriding]

Massive taking it out with over a lap to go from Kerr

[genebaket]

That was probably the best talent that ever ran the mile ever Josh Kerr is on fire, absolutely awesome

[signpost]

Wow! One of the fastest mile races in history. Looking forward to a rematch (hopefully) in the Olympics!

[thisopinionwillexpire]

Impressed with Kerr. But honestly, a bit more impressed with Jakob. 3:45 off an injury layoff is pretty insane.

[michaelagyepong]

I know Ingebrigtsen doesn't want to admit, but josh ker has been living rent free in his mind for about a year now, Kerr the menace😂😂😂

[MazzerineSea]

Has Kerr improved enough to run sub 3.28 this Summer? A fabulous mile run at Pre today! His coaches reportedly told him not to take the front as early as he did. What an exciting summer season of racing ahead. Will be fascinating to see how Jakob improves leading into the Olympics. Shout out to Yared and Cam Myers! #teamjakob

Nuguse holding it down for the Americans, yet again…not sure why he doesn’t get more marketing / hype…

[beowolf]

Phenomenal athletes every one of them!!

[randyschwaggins]

I grew up watching Steve Ovett, Seb Coe and Steve Cram dominate the 800 and 1500 in the 80s...and then we had nothing in those events until Josh Kerr came out of nowhere.
Seeing any British athlete win on the world stage is brilliant for me...but seeing Kerr win makes me smile in a way that warms my core ❤

[BG-idcv]

I think Cam Myers broke the World Record for the mile for a 17 year old...no? His time is over 2 seconds faster than what Ingebrigtsen ran 6 years ago as a 17 year-old in the same event.

[GGmanlife]

Most people to ever run sub 3:48 in a mile before! I feel bad for Jacob and great for Kerr, but it’s good to remember that was only Jacob’s season opener!
