– Can’t ignore the fact that she is pregnant – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

– I am from a large family with many siblings and I have always had many people around me. Starting my own family and having a child is something I’ve been looking forward to all my life, says Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen to news. Just over a month ago, he and his wife, Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen, were able to announce that they will become parents this summer. For the first time, the athletics star is speaking out about the happy news. Jakob said that it was a “handsome and fun message to get”, but with the deadline in June, his thoughts were also on the two big championships this summer. Glad it’s not far away from the European Athletics Championships in Rome, which will be held from 7 to 12 June, while the athletics training for the Olympics in Paris runs from 1 to 11 August. An enormous highlight in a sports career. On social media, Elisabeth wrote that she was nervous about the timing of her due date during the EC period. Jakob Ingebrigtsen did not let himself be stressed. – I think that there is never a time when the timing is very good. If anything, it’s pretty good timing considering that there are NM in Sandnes that month, he says.

In that sense, very good timing. – We firmly prioritize Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen will be closer to during the season rush than usual. She has said that she will join a training camp in the USA for a few weeks at the end of March. – One cannot look away from the fact that she is pregnant. It is clear that there are a number of things that we have to take into account and some rules of procedure related to that, says Jakob and continues: COUPLE: Jakob and Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen.

We try our best to make everything work, at the same time that you have a number of responsibilities and tasks in front of you that are important and over which you also have good control. In a few months, the 23-year-old will have to juggle the role of father in order to win Olympic gold. – How will the priorities be there? – They will be tough in line with how it has been in the past. We make it a priority for me to become as good as I can at running, says Jakob. Absurd WC blunder: — What are you doing? 00:29 Scandalous scenes in the World Cup: – Oi!
