Narve Gilje Nordås was first out in the attempt of the Norwegians. He was in a very tough heat with, among others, Scottish Josh Kerr, who is considered Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s great rival. In addition, Yared Nuguse and Brian Komen became fierce competitors. It was a Nordås that started far ahead and led the way. – That’s the way to do it! commented news’s Jann Post. And it lasted all the way for Nordås, who made it to the semi-finals in the 1500 metres. So definitely did Kerr, who showed fearsome pace in the attempt. – He is in monster shape, said Post. It happened after Kerr had initially put himself in a somewhat unfortunate position and had to break free on the last lap. He did that in a masterly manner and passed competitor after competitor. – He (Nordås) solved it well, he spends more time on his accelerations than Kerr. With Kerr, it responds as soon as he makes the move. Narve takes a little longer on it, but it worked out well for Narve also down the run here, says Rodal about Gilje Nordås and Kerr.

Ingebrigtsen will go out into the fire a few minutes later in the third heat. Nordås has not had an optimal charge for the Olympics. He delivered a failure at the European Championships in Rome, where he failed to reach the final. In addition, there have been a number of headlines in the media about his training mate Per Svela, who did not receive accreditation for the Olympics. However, Filip Ingebrigtsen did, who will follow his little brother in the fight for Olympic gold. Published 02.08.2024, at 11.15 Updated 02.08.2024, at 11.25
