– Jakob thunders into a new super time and gets his revenge, exclaimed news commentator Jann Post when the Norwegian finished. With a time of 3:27.83, Jakob Ingebrigtsen smashed the rest of the field during Thursday’s race in Lausanne, Switzerland. This is his third fastest time ever. Ingebrigtsen did as he often does – lay somewhat behind the field at the start of the race and let go of the two hares by a few metres. Eventually he worked his way up the back again and took the lead on the last lap. Photo: Beate Oma Dahle / NTB On the run he was completely superior and won by several meters to the next man. Olympic sensation Cole Hocker had to settle for second place in Switzerland. – Hocker is not in the shape he was in the Olympics, he chose not to go home after the championship. Here he has not been able to keep up the move, says news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal. While Ingebrigtsen has lost three consecutive 1500m championship finals, he has been dominant over the distance in the Diamond League context. American shock at the Olympics This was the first opportunity for Ingebrigtsen to get revenge after American Cole Hocker shocked the entire athletics world and took the gold in the 1500 meters at the Olympics. This is also the first time the two have been used in a Diamond League context. When news met the 23-year-old Norwegian in Lausanne the day before Thursday’s competition, he was looking forward to meeting the American shooting star again. – It is important that we meet in races like this here, and fight to finish first more than once, he said. When directly asked if it is important for Ingebrigtsen to beat Hocker in a rematch, the Sandnes runner replied: – It is important for me to beat everyone.

The light hare is set to two times: The green light went to 3.26.73 – Ingebrigtsen’s European record. The white light went to 3.28.72 – Ingebrigtsen’s meeting record in Lausanne. While Ingebrigtsen has lost three consecutive championship finals at 1500m, he has been completely superior at 1500m in the Diamond League and has actually not been beaten once since 2021.
