On Tuesday, Håvard Tjørhom, who is assistant sports director of the Norwegian Athletics Association (NFIF), explained in the ongoing trial against athletics coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen. There he pulled out a story from his first meeting with Philip, Henrik and Gjert Ingebrigtsen during the European Championships in athletics in Dutch Amsterdam in 2016. – I had never been to a convention before and asked Gjert if I could join a session. I remember there was a huge discussion between Henrik and Gjert. I was put out, the athletics leader explained. Tjørhom had just started in his first period as an employee at NFIF (2016-2018). – I think it was very special, in a role as coach and leader, so close to the European Championships that were one of the big goals for the summer. To create so much friction I think was very weird. DECONTINUE:-High temperature Tjørhom claims that this happened two days before Filip Ingebrigtsen ran into a sensational European Championship gold of 1500 meters, where brother Henrik Ingebrigtsen took bronze. – They were number one and three. So I was quickly captured by that’s how they have it. It narrowed both ways. But I think it was very strange considering that we were in a championship. The accused Gjert Ingebrigtsen chose to comment on Tjørhom’s allegations after he finished his explanation. He explained that Henrik Ingebrigtsen was seriously injured at that time, with a fracture in one toe. Ingebrigtsen was operated on for the toe injury after the Olympics later that year. – So he had to be injected with Markain, which is a strong painkiller, for every training session and every competition, explained Gjert Ingebrigtsen. news has asked the media advisor to the Ingebrigtsen brothers, Espen Skoland, if Henrik Ingebrigtsen wants to comment on the matter. Skoland writes in an SMS that they politely refuse it. Gjert Ingebrigtsen remembers that he had a discussion with his son around a training session before that championship. – It was tough with Henrik, and we had a lot of tough discussions associated with the broken toe. Because I would rather not participate in the entire championship. So that he had to be injected with painkillers every time he was wearing shoes. So it was high temperature, to say the least. Gjert Ingebrigtsen is charged with abuse in close relationships. He denies criminal charges and rejects all charges. Former trainer: Gjert Ingebrigtsen with Filip Ingebrigtsen in 2016.

Saltvedt is not surprised by the story that appeared in court. – It is one of the slightly absurd paradoxes that this almost acts as a pattern in the period leading up to the breach in 2022. An extreme noise level, occasionally for the open stage, and then showing huge achievements when it was first competition, says Saltvedt. – For a long time it seemed almost as if it was part of a common internal strategy, which provided an explosive energy release when there was a championship. But if it is too good – or strange – to be true, then it is. Published 29.04.2025, at. 19.06
