– Bronze in the WC in 1,500 metres, it’s to be touched by, says Nordås to news. Before the start, he was mentioned as a contender for a medal, but Jakob Ingebrigtsen was the biggest favourite. But where Ingebrigtsen was unable to live up to expectations, Nordås sprinted to the WC bronze in a time of 3:29.68. – It tastes good, says Nordås and bites into the bronze medal. – You saw who was the fastest on the run-up side, there was no doubt about that. It was me, continues Nordås. In the commentator’s booth, Nordås was praised for precisely the quick finish. – It was an adventurous race he ran. He passed man after man. He has made huge strides under Gjert Ingebrigtsen, who has trained his third runner to a WC medal, says Post followed up and ended the reasoning with: – It’s completely crazy. Bad development Since the Ingebrigtsen brothers broke up with their father and coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen a year and a half ago, the latter has been coach for Nordås. This has led to a wild development and on Wednesday evening the last Gjert student was a medal candidate in Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s favorite exercise 1500 meters in the World Championships. It didn’t look like this before this year’s season. The former 5,000 meter specialist failed in the attempt at the same distance in the Olympics in 2021 and in the WC last year. In the EC, it was 17th place in the final. But this season, he has lowered the personal best in the 1500 meters four times, from 3:36.23 to 3:29.47, and took second place in the Diamond League at the distance.

Therefore, Nordås chose to stay in a different hotel to the rest of the Norwegian athletes and train on a separate training ground, where Gjert Ingebrigtsen had access. The athletics association justified the choice with an “overall assessment”. – I think people know what’s behind it, everyone in Norway does. People talk about it. There is no elephant in the room. Why not just say it outright? To me and the media?, Nordås reacted to the explanation. Has believed that the association has not taken him seriously in the charging for the championship. – They try to facilitate as best they can within the framework you have. When you bring it up in addition, you feel that you are being opposed a little. You feel that you are taken seriously, but at the same time there are some who hold back, said Nordås to a collective Norwegian press. The Swedish Athletics Federation has denied that they are working against Nordås. Revealed ice front Before the WC, Nordås described the relationship between him and Jakob Ingebrigtsen as “non-existent”. The ice front was mentioned by all national media in Norway and several foreign media. When it became clear that Nordås and Ingebrigtsen would meet each other in the evening’s final, the former sent another jab at his more meritorious rival.

It will be accepted, said Nordås to news. Asked about reigning world champion Jake Wightman’s statement that the most epic thing now will be if Nordås beats Ingebrigtsen in the final, Nordås was equally clear. – Agreed! That would have been cool. It would have been really nice, I won’t call it revenge, but Gjert points the finger at them a bit. “Look, it could have been you.” But we’ll see. He is a favorite. The man was playing outside, Nordås told Nettavisen. Throughout the WC, Ingebrigtsen did not want to “answer questions that do not concern himself”. – It is well known that there has been a conflict-filled relationship between Gjert and his sons, said news expert Vebjørn Rodal when it became clear that Gjert Ingebrigtsen did not receive WC accreditation as Nordås’ personal coach. On Thursday at 19.00, Nordås and Ingebrigtsen meet for a new duel in the trial heat of 5000 metres. You can watch the race on news 2 and here:
