Subject of emergency alert message arrested - May 2, 2024 | SaltWire #dartmouth #update #suspect - Jakob Ingebrigtsen believes his 1500 metres Olympic title defence will be a breeze as long as he avoids illness and injury on the road to Paris, the Norwegian said on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old won gold at the COVID-delayed Tokyo Games in astonishing fashion, cruising past Kenyan Timothy Cheruiyot on the final lap to break the tape in an Olympic record time of 3:28.32."Obviously the Olympic Games in Tokyo was very different, I would imagine, to the upcoming Games in Paris, with no spectators, a lot of testing and rules with COVID," Ingebrigtsen told European Athletics'"Ignite" podcast.

Britons Josh Kerr and Jake Wightman pushed Ingebrigtsen to the second spot on the podium in the metric mile in 2023 and 2022, respectively, in a pair of remarkable upsets. "At the end of the day, it's a competition where everybody tries their best to win but sometimes everything doesn't go as planned for everyone," said Ingebrigtsen.
