– Are you still the best in the world?, Ingebrigtsen wondered before the race. Last week he broke the previous record in the world at two English miles, on Thursday he set both a new personal record and course record at Bislett Stadium. – It is a new personal record. For the first time under 3.28. What Jakob Ingebrigtsen delivers is completely wild, exclaims news’s commentator Jann Post as Ingebrigtsen crosses the finish line. In what Ingebrigtsen has referred to as a B-track, a stadium that is not optimal for setting records, he had to eat his words. In a field that could just as well have been an Olympic final, Ingebrigtsen was the favourite. – The form has been good, so I’m a bit excited to see how it is tonight. I think it must be run fast. It is a good, strong field, he further told news. PURPOSEFUL: Jakob Ingebrigtsen aims high and hits the mark.

The 22-year-old was number eight all-time in the 1500 before the record race and could run up with a super race tonight. Fast start The field started at a high pace. In familiar style, Jakob Ingebrigtsen settled a bit on the outside of the field before settling in front of rival Timothy Cheruiyot. – Jakob is exactly where he should be when 800 meters have been passed, says news’s commentator Jann Post. They were close to the record on the last round when the 22-year-old was in the lead. He engages an extra gear and the final sprint holds a new personal record. WC bronze winner Mohamed Katir from Spain has also shown brilliant form recently, and he delivered another solid race. The Spaniard was second, while American Yared Nuguse secured third place ahead of Cheruiyot.
