– It’s fun, I must honestly admit that. There is something that happens in the head, even if you feel good in training, you start to doubt when the nerves come before the start, says Ingebrigtsen to news after the race. The Norwegian comes from a WC gold in the 5000 meters and a WC silver in the favorite distance 1500 meters in Eugene. On Monday, he had good control in the test heat, where he crossed the finish line first. Ingebrigtsen will run the final on Thursday. Ferdinand Kvan Edman ran in the second heat, but he was unable to progress to the final. Ingebrigtsen is largely considered the favorite over the distance, and it would be a huge surprise if the westerner did not make it to a final. Thus, it could be thought that he would save as much energy as possible, because he will run the 5000 meter final already on Tuesday. That was confirmed by his brother and coach before the race. – It’s about running with the least possible risk and energy consumption. Otherwise, you have to let Jakob do what he does best, said Henrik Ingebrigtsen. And little brother Ingebrigtsen ran very calmly from the start, and placed himself far back in the field from the start. – This does not cost much so far, commented Jann Post along the way. But it got a little dramatic in front of him, where there was a bit of pushing. – I was a little surprised that it was so windy when I came in. When you’re in that position out there, you have to be lucky that someone doesn’t get out. I tried to run fast enough so no one had time to react. But things like that happen. I felt good. I saved a lot of effort staying behind at the start. I answer the sister round well. I am happy about that, says Ingebrigtsen. – You have saved some energy for the 5000 meters tomorrow? – I think it’s fun to run when I’m in good shape. It’s a good motivation. Then it’s also fun to be back at the EC in Germany. I have good memories from here. news’s commentator was amazed at the finish of Ingebrigtsen and the other runners. – It’s so cheap with 3.38, it’s almost unbelievable that it works. But it is no more than one push. I get scared when I see what happens half a meter away from him with half a lap to go, Post said when the push occurred. He already has EC gold in both 5000 meters and 1500 meters from 2018.
