– World Cup silver is an incredibly big thing to achieve, at the same time I am beaten by people who are worse than me. I’m disappointed with myself, said Jakob Ingebrigtsen after being beaten by Jake Wightman in the World Cup final in the 1500 meters. The new world champion, however, did not allow himself to be provoked to be categorized as “worse” by the man he beat. – Sure I’m not as good as him, so good enough, but today I felt that I ran the best race for me. I have to take care of this blink of an eye, says the Briton to news. 19 out of 20 times the 28-year-old has had a much longer road to the top than his Norwegian rival, and not many people pointed to him as a favorite in the World Cup. The strategy before the final he put together with the coaching father. – What he did was what we discussed yesterday, which was to follow the bridge, kick off with 150 meters left and use the speed, says Geoff Wightman. He also did not allow himself to be excited about Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s sting to the zone. – Jake has not beaten Jakob since Jakob was 15. But championship is something else. You can put them up against each other 20 times and Jakob wanted to win 19, but the race today was number 20. The possibilities are great, you get one chance. But Jacob is still number one in the world.

He did not manage to shake off Jake Wightman, who is a very good sprinter. When the Briton snuck past in the last turn, Ingebrigtsen had nothing to answer with. – I did it with the intention and hope of winning. I did not think I would make it before I crossed the finish line. Jakob is so good that I thought he would catch me again. I ran for my life. I can not believe that this is the appreciation for it, says Wightman and looks down on the medal. – How important is your father to us for this? – Very important. He has been training me since I was 14 years old. Before that it was mom. It is a special blink of an eye for him and. It is unique that he gets to join this journey. The coach danger: – Makes a lot of noise This confirms the danger: – Until it was 150 meters left, it was a completely normal race. But from then on it was different. Then I just had to keep an eye on who was behind him and how the time was. I think I was reasonably controlled, but I do not know. I actually do not think so well, I look forward to seeing the race again, he says to news. He believed that the zone could win. – Everyone can say that, but to go out and do it in a World Cup final against that opposition is special. Very special. And it’s his merit, not mine. I make a lot of noise in the background, but he does things in spite of me, not because of me, says a happy father. This was the World Cup final in the 1500 meters:
