The recent record of Narve Gilje Nordås fell after just one week. Ingebrigtsen had zero problems in Istanbul and ran to a new Norwegian record of 7.40.32. Pretty much the entire race was about the 22-year-old. The Sandnes runner was in front for most of the entire race. – I felt fine as far as I was concerned. Stiff in the calves, but nothing significant. It’s a bit silly that I’m running a race against myself, but you can’t expect anything more, says Ingebrigtsen to news. – He sails through the last 1000 meters in 2.24 here, Jakob. Apparently relatively unaffected, he runs the others down, one by one. Mechaal was tenacious and held on for a long time, but in principle had no chance, says news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal. – No challenger Ingebrigtsen made it through the attempt without using up unnecessary energy – and the saved energy seemed to come in handy in the final. – Here I don’t really see any challengers who are at that level. It is almost unbelievable to talk about it being a “walk in the park”, but it will be run, said Rodal before the race started. From the start, Ingebrigtsen was in the middle of the field, but after barely half a minute he ran up to the lead. Then he picked up the pace, but for the time being the field was hanging on. After the increase in speed, he let the Spanish Adel Mechaal go a few metres, but he was not allowed to do so for long. – 5.15 in 2000 metres, then it will at least be a personal record for Jakob, I think I can say that already, said Rodal. When the race ticked six minutes, the field began to break up, with Ingebrigtsen in front and the Spaniard and Belgian Robin Henrix in full swing. A long time ago Before Sunday’s final, Ingebrigtsen had not run 3,000 meters indoors since the European Championships in 2021. One who did so recently was Narve Gilje Nordås. Last week he broke Henrik Ingebrigtsen’s eight-year-old record in the 3000 metres. The new Norwegian record was 7.45.39. The world record for the distance is also relatively recent. Lamecha Girma from Ethiopia ran in 7.23.81 and a new world record in Lievin in February this year.
