Jakob Ingebrigtsen destroys the competition at home – NRK Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

New week, new top rankings.

On what Ingebrigtsen calls track B, a stadium that is suboptimal for record-setting, the 22-year-old had to swallow his words as he clocked in 3.27.95 in the 1500 meters.

– I don’t dream much, I visualize a lot. But tonight is one of the few things I dream of – breaking the record at the Bislett Games in front of the Norwegians. It’s a night I will remember for a long, long time!, record-breaker Ingebrigtsen told NRK after the race.

Gilje Nordås was crying

Sandnesgauken met on a course that could easily be compared to an Olympic final, and beat Hicham El Guerrouj’s event record by 3.29.12.

The field started at high speed. Ingebrigtsen lay in somewhat familiar fashion off the court before settling in front of his opponent Timothy Cheruiyot.

– Jakob is exactly where he should be when the 800 meters have been covered, said commenter NRK Post.

It was close to a record in the last round as the 22-year-old closed in on the lead.

Ingebrigtsen put on extra equipment and the final sprint held the new personal and meeting record.

WC bronze winner Mohamed Katir of Spain has also been in brilliant form recently, and he delivered a solid race. The Spaniard was second, while American Yared Nuguse secured third place ahead of Cheruiyot.

Filip Ingebrigtsen eventually broke the race, but was surprised by his younger brother:

– It shouldn’t be possible to run as low as he did last week in Paris, then run here. So this is probably the best chance anyone has of beating him.

Narve Gilje Nordås (24) also finished a brilliant race.

Tears flowed when he realized that he had achieved his goal of becoming the new best person. Just 1.52 seconds behind compatriot Ingebrigtsen, he finished eighth.
