Jakob Ingbrigtsen in Prime Andreas Hungarian
Zurich. Jakob Ingbrigtsen, like many others, saw Andreas seductive time and new Swedish records in Brussels last Friday.
– But I wasn’t surprised. The Norwegian says I know what he can do when he’s healthy.
Do you consider it a danger to yourself in the future?
– No, I can’t see that, haha.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen is the world’s sprinter at the moment and has won WC gold and EC gold in the 5000 metres.
He did not miss his friend Andreas Megrenz A giant race in Brussels, when the Swede broke the record of 46-year-old Anders Gärderud by nearly sixteen seconds.
The clock stopped at 13.01.70 and was rumored to have amplitude for a period below the dream limit of 13 empty.
– He’s always been a great talent, but he’s had problems with illness and constant injuries. Ingebrigtsen says he’s now been injury-free for a long time and it’s only natural that times will come.
– In addition, he took fourth place in the European Commission, although I ran away from him there.
How well do you know him?
– We’ve been good friends for a long time. It is a happy beacon. Now he is able to stay healthy and get continuity in training. Then the time comes too. It’s the same for everyone.
“A title I want”
Jacob Ingbrigtsen, who will turn twenty-two on September 19, was well short of his thirteen-minute dream limit.
He ran 12.48.45 at the Diamond League gala in Rome last year which is his best.
Nor was he under threat at both the toilet in Eugen and the European Commission in Munich.
Here in Zurich, he runs the 1500m on Thursday, aiming to win his first Diamond League final.
A stretch where he was the reigning Olympic champion, but where he was cheated on for a WC gold by Britain’s Jake Whiteman.
– But I’ve never won the Diamond League final, so it’s a title I’d like to have.
Andreas of Hungary has only competed in one Diamond League race this summer and has not qualified for the final.
