– He is very hard on himself and makes very high demands. And it’s also the way you win, which is what ordinary people and other athletes don’t think too much about, says Filip Ingebrigtsen to news – and takes a breath: – As long as they win, that’s fine enough, but he has a desire to do it in such a way that no one can discuss it. CLOSE ON: Filip Ingebrigtsen was his little brother’s closest supporter during the Olympics, and followed him closely in connection with the competitions. Photo: Mikael Kaspersen Kinnestad / news Warn against the strategy For Jakob Ingebrigtsen wanted to win in the most challenging way possible – by going on the field and wearing them out one by one. Along the way, many had to give up, but on the run Cole Hocker, Josh Kerr and Yared Nuguse were able to profit from the fact that they had not encountered the same amount of air resistance. Filip says that they warned his little brother against the strategy in advance. – Henrik and I have always said that it is impossible to win 1,500 meters from the front, because you have to be so much better than everyone else. Still, I realized early on, that was what he decided to do over the summer. That was how he wanted to win. The 24-year-old believes he was in good enough shape to win Olympic gold, that he had the right strategy, but missed the execution. It went too fast at the start and he got too eager with one and a half laps to go, when he got a small gap. – I think that’s what will stick the longest – that he missed the execution like that. I think he realized for himself that even with such a kamikaze scheme as it was, in the first 800, he almost manages to take them. So yes, I don’t think he will ever shake it off, says Filip Ingebrigtsen. – Slave in my own life Jakob Ingebrigtsen describes the 1,500 meter final as a “traumatic event”, which went on replay in his head, in the new series about the running brothers and wives on Amazon Prime. – I am left with the fact that I am throwing away a chance to win the Olympics and take some medals. Then it is clear that you may get other chances, but that chance is always thrown away. And that’s the kind of thing that happens, says Ingebrigtsen to news In the sixth episode of the series Born to Run, you can clearly see how affected he is by the loss the following day. When he meets the rest of the family, he is tight-lipped and barely present. He nevertheless points out that it is nice to see his wife Elisabeth and daughter Filippa again. – As a top athlete and runner, I am definitely a slave in my own life. The bubble is so big and the shell so strong that it is difficult to get out. He refers to the enormous focus that is directed towards taking steps, developing and becoming the best. – Better prepared next time When news met him in Lausanne a couple of weeks after the Olympics, he was tight-lipped about the defeat. It seemed ready-made and something he wanted to spend as little energy as possible on. He nevertheless lifts the lid when we meet him at the launch meeting for the new TV series at Bislett in Oslo. – There are probably no-one, at least very few, who have perfect careers where you have achieved everything you wanted. DISCONNECTING WITH HIS DAUGHTER: Jakob Ingebrigtsen gets help from little Filippa and his wife, Elisabeth, to get his mind off running. Photo: Mikael Kaspersen Kinnestad / news Ingebrigtsen is almost the closest you can get, one exception. He made his debut in the World Championships in the 3000 meter steeplechase as a 16-year-old in 2017. Since coming of age, he has never finished worse than fifth in his 19 starts in the senior championship. Six EC golds out of a possible six at 1500 meters and 5000 meters Two WC golds and 5th place at 5000 meters Two WC silvers and 4th place at 1500 meters Two Olympic golds (1500 and 5000) and 4th place of 1500 – I tried to do everything I could in the preparations. Thought I tried everything I could in the race, but then I didn’t quite succeed. Then I want to analyze it and make sure that I am better prepared next time and solve it better. And increase my chances of success. Wife: – Now the gold is going home – We have had better seasons. We have that, says Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen, who thinks about it and continues: – He has run the fastest he has ever done in the 1,500. He has an Olympic gold in the 5,000. He has taken the world record in the 3,000. When you think back on top of that, it has been a really sick season, especially considering how the winter was. It looked very dark for a while. CONTRAST-FILLED SEASON: The Olympic champion in the 5,000 meters became the father of Filippa, together with Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen. Photo: Mikael Kaspersen Kinnestad / news – But if you had asked him himself, we would probably all agree that we are not completely satisfied. Now the 1,500 gold is going home, I know. – How does it affect you when things go badly for him and things go well for him? – Perhaps I am one of the people closest to him. So it’s never fun, I know. It feels a bit pointless at one point. When you work so hard for something, it’s a bit of a drag, maybe. But then again, that’s how sports are. When things go well, there is nothing nicer than sharing that joy together. – What was the toughest moment this season? – It was the 1500 meter final. That was it. That was really the only thing that was tough this year. We have had a couple of second places. But it hasn’t been 100% days. So no, the 1500 metres, it should have gone differently. It should. PS! Jakob Ingebrigtsen has started training for next season and it is uncertain when we will see him in competition next, but he has signaled that the news-broadcast EC in cross-country running in December is a goal.
