This was stated when Håvard Tjørhom, assistant sports manager at the Athletics Association, testified in court on Tuesday. -They worked to get out of the training relationship with their father, and it is my views that they looked at the towel episode as an exit. Jakob described it as “hell in accidents,” Tjørhom said. Assistant Attorney Mette Yvonne Larsen confirms this to news. – This was Jacob’s statement and there is no doubt that this incident was what made it run over, and that they saw an opportunity to get rid of Gjert as a coach, says Larsen. – Dad was going out the assistant attorney believes this is also clearly stated on the sound recording between Henrik Ingebrigtsen and the parents. Assistant Attorney Mette Yvonne Larsen confirms that the towel episode between Gjert Ingebrigtsen and her daughter was the occasion for Jakob and the brothers to get rid of the father as coach.

Gjert Ingebrigtsen also commented on the statement from Tjørhom in court: – You had a desire for Dad to go out, and it is confirmed that that incident with (NN, daughter) was a “luck in accident” rather than a serious case, he said. Gjert Ingebrigtsen is charged with abuse in close relationships. He denies criminal charges and rejects all charges. – Managed to settle Håvard Tjørhom said that the brothers perceived the sister as the strongest. The fact that she dared to break with her father was what was needed for them to settle that settlement, according to the athletics leader. When Gjert Ingebrigtsen and sons broke the training collaboration in early 2022, Tjørhom thought it would be natural for Ingebrigtsen to finish as coach for Narve Gilje Nordås as well. – Gjert told me that he had promised to train Narve further, but I asked him if the family situation was not more important. – Gjert wanted to destroy Håvard Tjørhom also talked a lot with the runners Ingebrigtsen during this period. – They were very private, but they told me that Gjert wanted to destroy them. I had a hard time believing that, Tjørhom said. But this changed, according to the sports leader. “Why did it change?” Asked prosecutor Ellen Gimre. Håvard Tjørhom on his way into the courtroom.

The less recovery you get, the more the likelihood of you get hurt, Tjørhom said, adding: “It’s hard for me to prove, but I clearly believe that he is fully aware of this. Through all the noise he creates. When Filip Ingebrigtsen explained in court, Gjert Ingebrigtsen commented on his motivation to continue as a coach: – It is sad that they mistreat my motivation as a coach. To destroy and sabotage for my children … I wish my children all the best, he said at the time. – Trained to keep a distance Håvard Tjørhom drew a situation from the Diamond League in 2024. The brothers had presented a desire for distance from their former coach. – Gjert stands at a point in a narrow staircase. Because he knows that there is a point where Jacob will eventually come. I felt that he was standing in the stairs there. Open, Tjørhom said. Gjert Ingebrigtsen commented on this incident like this: – If I have been in a staircase where someone was going, it has been completely unknown to me before he tells it now. So I just have to complain. Furthermore, Gjert Ingebrigtsen said that for the past three years he had tried not to be present where his children were, unless he had to follow up Narve. “Sometimes you have to be where you have to be,” Gjert said. – Demanding prosecutor Ellen Gimre asked Tjørhom to describe Gjert Ingebrigtsen as a person. Tjørhom replied that Gjert had a huge work capacity, he was very much, and had a lot of thoughts on everything about training and competitions. Prosecutor Ellen Gimre asked Håvard Tjørhom in court. Photo: Ksenia Novikova / news – We had many fun and good conversation, but he was demanding to deal with since everything happened on his premises, and depended on his day form and mood. The conversations often started with “now everything is wrong”. Gjert is a very honest person, but can also be perceived as hurtful, Tjørhom said. Gjert Ingebrigtsen pulled out Tjørhom, during his explanation earlier in the trial. He described Tjørhom as “a lackei” for the brothers Ingebrigtsen, and that he facilitated bullying and harassing others for a long time. Several conflicts Also conflict between Tjørhom and Gjert Ingebrigtsen student Narve Gilje Nordås before the European Championships in cross-country skiing in November 2024. The reason was that Filip Ingebrigtsen was removed instead of Per Svela. So Nordås withdrew and fired against the union. Narve Gilje Nordås testified in the district court before Easter.
