Middle brother Ingebrigtsen broke the 5000-meter during the Bislett Games with six laps left of the race which was his last chance to qualify for the World Cup in the distance. – I have struggled a bit with a sore Achilles leg. That’s why I left Rome, because it was a bit tight program. I have trained well, but not in studded shoes. I felt confident that it would last, but it got worse and worse, says Filip Ingebrigtsen to news. – In the end, I could not put proper emphasis on it. I only used one foot and I’m really disappointed. I get to take the positive with me, he says. It went too fast The Lura runner was hanging behind the main field, close to the hare who was supposed to be close to the World Cup requirement, but did not seem to have a good day during the Bislett Games. When he finished, he went straight out of the stadium and under the facility at the finish area. – I was not surprised by that. Philip is either or. Either he runs fast or he breaks, says Narve Gilje Nordås to news. BARBED ON WC REQUIREMENTS: Gjert student Narve Gilje Nordås.

It is enough to take the European Championship requirement, but not enough to participate in the World Cup in Eugene in July. – It went just too fast in front for me to keep up. That’s weird. There is so little that needs to be done. It was perfect conditions and calm winds, but it simply went a little too fast, says Nordås. Telahun Haile Bekele won the race ahead of Ethiopians Samuel Tefera and Getnet Wale. Historic Norwegian field Four Norwegian runners in Henrik and Filip Ingebrigtsen, Narve Gilje Nordås and Henrik Tuv Myhre all ran to get within the championship requirements for the WC and EC. Nordås was the one who came closest – after trying to keep up with the main field. Four laps from goal, he struggled more and more to keep up with the competition. In the finish, he was barely two seconds behind the World Cup requirement with a time of 13.15.80 minutes. There were two times that stood in the minds of the athletes before the starting shot went on Thursday’s 5000 meters during the Bislett Games: World Cup requirement: 13.13.50 minutes. EM requirement: 13.24.00 minutes. Thursday’s 5000 meters was – according to their own statements – the last chance for Narve Gilje Nordås and Filip Ingebrigtsen to meet the requirement. At the same time, Henrik Ingebrigtsen had said that he would run for a place in this summer’s European Championships, where there will be a record tough battle for places as Norway has never had more width at the top. Filip Ingebrigtsen opened on Wednesday to drop 1500 meters in the WC if he were to meet the WC requirement. He is the only one of the running brothers Ingebrigtsen who has won a World Cup medal outdoors. Henrik has gold, two silver and bronze from the European Championships. Jakob has Olympic gold and two European Championship golds. Filip has World Cup bronze and European Championship gold – both on the favorite distance 1500 meters. PS! The World Cup in Eugene is held between 15 and 24 July and is broadcast on news, while the European Championships in Munich are held from 15 to 21 August. Jakob Ingebrigtsen is already qualified for the distance in both championships.
