Jakob Ingebrigtsen secured his first diamond in the Diamond League – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

– He is working hard now, while it is much easier for Jakob, said news commentator Jann Post about the hare, who started the race with enormous speed. When he disappeared, it was Jakob Ingebrigtsen who led the field. On the last lap he got some competition from his fierce competitor Timothy Cheruiyot. But out of the last turn, the Kenyan had no chance. – He sweeps them away, Post exclaimed about Ingebrigtsen. But even though it went terribly fast at the start, no new record was set. Ingebrigtsen ran into the year’s best in the world with a time of 3:29.02. Cheruiyot followed in second place, while Britain’s Oliver Hoare was third. The diamond – it went to the Norwegian 21-year-old anyway. BRINGING HOME: Ingebrigtsen finally gets this diamond trophy into his collection.

The hare was scheduled to run at 3.28-high in Thursday’s race, which is faster than the previous race. Then the time was 3.29.05. Ingebrigtsen’s personal record from the Olympics in Tokyo is 3.28.32. – It goes terribly fast in the first 300 metres, said Post. But all the more important today was victory – to secure the trophy he lacks. Before Thursday’s final, Ingebrigtsen thought it was just unfortunate that he had not secured it earlier: The missing diamond Jakob Ingebrigtsen has collected loads of medals and triumphs in recent years as a senior runner, and this year alone he has won all the events he has participated in. But the 21-year-old has been missing the diamond you get as a winner of the Diamond League. SECOND: In 2021 at the latest, Ingebrigtsen had to see himself beaten by Timothy Cheruiyot in the final.

Only two Norwegians have won the diamond previously. Andreas Thorkildsen won it in 2010, while the fencing king Karsten Warholm took it home in both 2020 and 2021. The prize pool is 30,000 Swiss francs, i.e. just over NOK 300,000.
