– I like to win, smiles Niels Laros to news. He got good training against Norwegian opposition in the U18 EC this summer in Jerusalem. The Dutchman showed promising Andreas Fjeld Halvorsen (17) to EC silver in the 1500 and 3000 metres. When he talks to news, he is one of the three nominees for young athlete of the year in Europe after the two strong golds from the championships this summer. The crowning achievement are the recent European records at the same distances: 1500 meters: 3.39.46 minutes 3000 meters: 7.48.25 minutes Roser Ingebrigtsen Jakob Ingebrigtsen jumped to compare 1500 meters in 3.39.92 and 3000 meters in 8.00.01 in 3000 meters then he was the same age. The previous U18 record for 3,000 meters belonged to East German Hansjörg Kunze and stood for a full 47 years. – It is a great motivation to beat one of the greatest athletes of our time. He is an idol because he is a fantastic athlete at a fantastic level, even though he is very young, Laros says that he runs faster than the Norwegian did in the same age group. There is great respect for what they have achieved in Sandnes. It is Jakob Ingebrigtsen and the marathon king Eliud Kipchoge who are brought forward as role models. The Kenyan recently improved the world record over 42,195 meters and gave advice to the youngster: “Follow the path the coach sets out for you”. And it is perhaps not so stupid when the name involved is Tomasz Lewandowski. The Pole coached, among others, his brother, Marcin Lewandowski, for a number of years. The latter was known as a venomous finisher and a strong tactician, which he proved when he won the bronze ahead of a 19-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the WC in 2019. The 17-year-old believes the success is connected to the fact that he has remained injury-free and trained without problems over time. Since he was eleven years old, he has trained specifically to be the best. He thought his potential was greatest at 1,500 and 5,000 meters, but surprised himself with an unofficial 1.46.3 at 800 meters. Jakob Ingebrigtsen: – By no means impossible Now begins the difficult job for the hitherto successful youngster. For the step from promising junior to gold-winning senior, there are very few who can handle it. – There are many people who can be good at things when they are young, and that is a very good starting point, but then there is the matter of cultivating it further. And not least create development and progression, says Jakob Ingebrigtsen to news after jumping first over the finish line in the Pink Ribbon race in Oslo.

Rodal’s advice: Drop 800 meters news expert Vebjørn Rodal thinks the youngster would do well to cultivate the distances from 1500 meters and up in the next few years. Not least because the method used by the Ingebrigtsen brothers has almost set a new standard for how to train for 1500 metres. – And then it also gives you room to run fast at 3,000 and 5,000 meters as well. The difference between 800 meters and 1500 meters is quite marked, says Rodal, who believes that several distances can also contribute to inspiration and motivation. news EXPERT: Vebjørn Rodal. Photo: Tor Erik Schrøder / NTB Trønder points to continuity as the most important success factor going forward. – When you run that fast, you have done a lot right. It is a question of carrying on and developing further, and not making overly large moves. But he is unsure whether he is actually better than Jakob at the same age. – It is perhaps not the case that Jakob maximizes the results at all distances, says the Olympic champion in the 800 meters from 1996. Finishing in the terrain If Lewandowski’s plan works, it will hardly be long until they will be seen racing against each other. The next major competition for Laros will be the EC cross-country race in Turin in December. The Dutchman competes in the U20 class. Now the next big competition is the EC in cross-country running in December, where Laros will participate in the U20 class. Next season, the U20 EC awaits in Romania, a championship Jakob Ingebrigtsen has had great success in the past. As a 16-year-old, he won gold in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and 5,000-meter hurdles. PS! Malin Hoelsveen (800 meters) and Bastian Elnan Aurstad (400 meter hurdles) won gold in the U18 EC this summer, while Andreas Fjeld Halvorsen (1500 and 3000 meters) and Norway’s relay team on the men’s side took silver medals.
