Jakob Ingebrigtsen continues finding answers after losing the 1,500m plot in Paris

The Hindu  

Jakob Ingebrigtsen did not raise too many eyebrows when he declared before Paris 2024 that he was the overwhelming favourite for the 1,500 metres. Kerr later claimed Ingebrigtsen had “major weaknesses” and the Norwegian fired back saying he could beat the Briton “blindfolded”. “It’s been almost two weeks since Paris so there was plenty of time to recover,” said Ingebrigtsen. Tonight’s race gave me good answers and I’m looking forward to building on this for my next race and the rest of the season.” Ingebrigtsen did build on the win days later, shattering the decades-old 3,000 metres world record by more than three seconds at the Chorzow Diamond League meeting. The conditions were difficult with the heat but it is the same for everyone.” Hunting world records Last September, Ingebrigtsen had smashed a 24-year-old world record in the rarely run 2,000 metres by more than a second, finishing in 4 minutes, 43.13 seconds at a Diamond League meet in Brussels.
