Race commentators had also realized that Jake was running at a high level, now Jake was no longer a stranger and was respected in the world of professional marathon athletes.
So this was the third time Jake had been running fast and commentators had already realized that this was Jake's racing strategy, he won in Chicago and was second in New York and only lost because he had an injury after almost beat the race record.
"And we see that as speculated Jake is really trying to participate in the Atlanta Olympics this year, this year he is 17 years old and everyone thought he was too young for that."
"I don't think so, this is the third marathon he runs, he got great results in the first two and has been keeping a very strong pace for this one too."
