– As expected – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

The 1500-meter specialist has not run 800 meters since the National Championships in September 2020, but competed in the distance in the Trond Mohn games in Bergen to get a good completion in a hectic season. Several in the field had a stronger personal record than Ingebrigtsen’s 1.46,44, among them Dutch Tony van Diepen. And the 21-year-old was aware of that. – I’m not a favorite. I certainly do not want to say that, he pointed out before the start. – But you hope for personal development, and run faster than I have done before, but it is a slightly different time than the last time I ran (800 meters). Watch live: Trond Mohn Games from Fana Stadium in Bergen. Fourth place, but smiled It was some distance away from both the record and the victory. But 1.47.22 and a fourth place. – It’s as expected. You can see again that participating in the 800 meters is very different from 1500 meters. I’m not made to run so fast so early. I need three rounds to get started, then I’m good the last 400. but it’s fun to be part of something faster, he says to news. He was quick to congratulate van Diepen (1.46.56) on the victory. – It is good that athletes like him come here to a small convention in Norway. It’s not fun to be beaten, but at the same time you have to be realistic. If he stands at 1500 meters, I will probably beat him with a round, says Ingebrigtsen and laughs. – It was a good race, but not his distance, van Diepen smiles. 19-year-old Tobias Grønstad took second place, and the European Championship requirement, with 1.46.74, while Australian Joseph Deng was third. The penultimate competition On Thursday next week, Ingebrigtsen will run one English mile during the Bislett Games, a distance he won in the Diamond League opening in Eugene almost two weeks ago. Then he and the brothers travel to a new height gathering in Flagstaff in the USA, and there will be, as VG has also written, thus no more competitions before the World Cup in mid-July. It also means that when he starts in the 1500 meters in Eugene, the Olympic champion has not competed in the distance since the National Championships in September last year.
