28 July 2024 at 15:28 Svela believes Nordås is being “opposed, bullied and discriminated against” – Rodal reacts to timing Per Svela reacts strongly to VG on the treatment Narve Gilje Nordås has received from the Olympiatoppen and the Athletics Federation. – Since 2022, Narve has been systematically opposed, bullied and discriminated against by employees in both NFIF and OLT. This is in addition to the burden caused by bullying from other athletes. The system that is set up to protect against precisely this allows itself to be influenced to contribute to bullying, rather than the opposite. This cannot continue. Narve deserves better, says Svela to the newspaper. The boost comes after it became clear that Jakob Ingebrigtsen will bring his brother Filip Ingebrigtsen to the Olympics in Paris. Nordås and Svela are coached by the brothers’ father, Gjert Ingebrigtsen, who did not receive accreditation for the Olympics. Svela should have been offered access to the participant village, but not the training track and warm-up track to help Nordås. Nordås’ training partner believes it is of no value that he should “drink coffee” with his friend at the athletes’ hotel. – It’s just sad and mindless. It is a great shame for Narve that he is being discriminated against in that way. They try to wrap it up as him getting help, but it’s just bullshit. Olympiatoppen boss Tore Øvrebø has been subjected to Svela’s criticism in VG. – Within the framework and limitations that apply during the Olympics, the Athletics Confederation and the Olympiatoppen arrange for the athletes to have the best possible conditions for performance. The latest measures are part of this work. We at Olympiatoppen are now looking forward to getting the athletics team to Paris, and will do everything we can to facilitate performance, Øvrebø answers to VG. news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal tells news that he understands the problem Svela is raising, but that he is surprised by the timing. – With regard to what happened in Rome, where Narve said that everything outside of sports created problems, I do not understand the timing of the action. It must rather belong to the evaluation after the season, says Rodal. He continues: – The training job has already been done, you have to remember that. In 2024, you will be fully capable of discussing tactical matters via electronic aids. The Olympic gold winner from 800 meters in 1996 says that he thinks Nordås will now be asked questions about the conflict at the press conference before the Olympics. – It can contribute to weakening Narve’s self-confidence more than strengthening it. I’ve said it before; that Narve is better than he thinks himself. He needs to get that confidence in place. I am very confused about the timing of the move, says Rodal. news has tried to get a comment from Svela on Rodal’s statement about the timing of the move, but has not yet received a reply.
