Jakob Ingebrigtsen (born 19 September 2000)[3] is a Norwegian middle- and long-distance runner who is the current world record holder in the short track 1500 metres, the 2000 metres and the 3000 metres, and is also the current world best holder over the two mile distance. Ingebrigtsen is a two-time Olympic champion, having won gold medals in the 1500 m at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, setting what was then an Olympic and European record, and in the 5000 metres at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He is also a two-time World champion, winning gold medals in the 5000 m in 2022 and 2023 and a six-time European champion, winning gold medals in the 1500 m and 5000 m in 2018, 2022, and 2024. In addition to the 1500 m, Ingebrigtsen holds European records in the mile, 3000 m, and 5000 m.

At age 16, Ingebrigtsen became the youngest man in history to run a sub-four minute mile, and broke the European Under-20 record in the 3000 metres steeplechase. As a junior, Ingebrigtsen won four consecutive gold medals at the European Cross Country Championships and won a gold medal in the 5000 m at the 2017 European U20 Championships.

In senior competition, Ingebrigtsen became one of only three men (along with Daniel Komen and Mohamed Katir) to run a sub-3:30 1500 m, sub-7:30 3000 m and a sub-12:50 5000 m, one of only two men (along with Daniel Komen) to have broken eight minutes in the two mile distance, and one of only two men (along with Hicham El Guerrouj) to run a sub 3:27 1500 m and sub 3:44 mile.[4][5]

Ingebrigtsen's older brothers Henrik and Filip are also middle-distance runners who compete internationally. They were trained by their father, Gjert Ingebrigtsen, until 2022.[6]

Career

[edit]

2017

[edit]
Ingebrigtsen at the Guldensporenmeeting in Kortrijk, Belgium in 2017.

On 27 May, still 16 years old, Ingebrigtsen became the youngest athlete in history to run the one-mile distance in less than 4 minutes, when he finished in 11th place in a Diamond League race at Hayward Field in Eugene, US.[7] On 15 June, he ran almost two seconds faster, when he won a mile run with a time of 3:56.29 at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway.[8]

On 8 July, in his first attempt at the distance, he beat the European Under-20 record in the 3000 metres steeplechase at the Guldensporenmeeting in Kortrijk, Belgium with a time of 8:26.81.[9]

2018: European 1500 m and 5000 m champion at age 17

[edit]

On 26 May, at age 17, Ingebrigtsen ran a 3:52.28 mile in the Prefontaine Classic's Bowerman Mile for fourth place. It was the fastest mile ever run by a 17-year-old at the time.[10]

2019

[edit]

On 5 July 2019, Ingebrigtsen set a new personal best and a U20 European Record in the 1500 m when he ran 3:30.16 at the Lausanne Diamond League for second position.[citation needed]

On 20 July at the London Diamond League, Ingebrigtsen set a new national record and U20 European Record at the 5000 m with 13:02.03, finishing second.[citation needed]

As of 6 October 2019, Ingebrigtsen was ranked as the second best 1500 m runner in the world, only behind Timothy Cheruiyot.

Making his debut at the distance, Ingebrigtsen broke Sondre Nordstad Moen’s Norwegian 10 km record at the Hytteplanmila in Hole, Norway on 19 October, with victory in 27:54. Not only was Jakob's time a national record, it was also the fastest time by a European in 2019 as well as being a European U20 10 km best.[11]

2020: First European record (1500 m)

[edit]

On 14 August (the month before he turned 20) at the Monaco Diamond League, Ingebrigtsen first went under the 3:30 barrier in the 1500 m and broke Mo Farah's 7-year-old European record (3:28.81) with a time of 3:28.68.[12]

2021: Tokyo Olympic 1500 m champion

[edit]

On 10 June 2021 at the Diamond League in Florence, Italy, he set a new European record in the 5000 m with his time of 12:48.45, in a race where a half-dozen competitors bested a time of 12:55.[13][14]

At the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, on 7 August, Ingebrigtsen set an Olympic and European record of 3:28.32 to secure gold in the 1500-meter final, after eclipsing the previous record of 3:31:65 held by the Kenyan Abel Kipsang.[15] He became the second youngest winner in the event.[16] On the final bend Ingebrigtsen overtook for the first time Timothy Cheruiyot, who won the silver medal.[17][18] Prior to the event, Ingebrigtsen had lost twelve straight 1500m / mile races to his Kenyan rival.

At the season-ending Diamond League finale at the Zurich Weltklasse meet, Ingebrigtsen placed second to Cheruiyot, who edged him out over the final sprint.

2022: World indoor 1500m record and World 5000m title

[edit]

On 17 February 2022, Ingebrigtsen set his first senior world record, clocking 3:30.60 for the indoor 1500 m at the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais in Liévin. He broke Samuel Tefera’s 3-year-old record by 0.44 seconds.[19]

Ingebrigtsen's (R) triumphal finish in the 5000 m final at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene.

About a month later at the 2022 World Indoor Championships held in Belgrade, Ingebrigtsen was beaten in the event by Tefera (3:32.77, CR), however, and placed second in a time of 3:33.02.[20] He tested positive for COVID-19 the following day.[6]

He won the silver medal in the 1500m after being outsprinted by Jake Wightman of Great Britain in the World Championships. In the same championships, he won the gold medal at the 5000 metres event at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon in a time of 13:09:24. Ingebrigtsen became the first male runner not born in Africa to win an Olympic or World Championships gold at the 5000 m in 30 years, going back to Dieter Baumann in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.[6]

At the season-ending Zürich Diamond League final, he defeated Timothy Cheruiyot in the 1500 m to take his first Diamond Trophy. The victory brought his lifetime head-to-head with Cheruiyot to 7–13.[21]

2023: 2 mile world best, 2000m world record, 3rd fastest mile & 3000m in history

[edit]

In March at the European Indoor Championships held in Istanbul, Ingebrigtsen secured the 1500 m/3000 m 'double-double', winning both events for the second time. He set a championship record of 3:33.95 at the shorter distance and broke the Norwegian record at the longer event with a time of 7:40.32.[22][23]

At the Diamond League Paris meet on 9 June 2023, Ingebrigtsen set the two mile world best by running 7:54.10, improving Daniel Komen's previous world best of 7:58.61, set in 1997, by 4.51 seconds. This made Ingebrigtsen the second man in history, after Komen, to break eight minutes in the two mile and thus average two miles at a sub four minute mile pace.[24]

On 15 June, Ingebrigtsen improved his own European record in the 1500 metres at the Bislett Games, breaking the 3:28 barrier for the first time by running 3:27.95. On 16 July, at the Silesia Diamond League, Ingebrigtsen would further improve his time to 3:27.14 to become the fourth fastest man at the distance.[25][26]

Ingebrigtsen and Kerr in the final curve of the 1500 m final

For the second successive championships, Ingebrigtsen finished second in the final sprint to a Scottish and British athlete, Josh Kerr, in the 1500m final at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. He repeated as the gold-medal winner in the 5000m.[27] Less than two weeks later, Ingebrigtsen set a world record in the 2000m at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.[28][29] His record of 4:43.13 eclipsed the previous record of 4:44.79 that was set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999.

The Norwegian ended his season with victories in the mile and 3000m at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, which also served as the Diamond League final. He edged Yared Nuguse for the win in the mile, winning in 3:43.73 and missing the world record by 0.6 seconds.[30] His time was a new European record and the third-fastest time ever run, behind Noah Ngeny's 3:43.40 and Hicham El Guerrouj's world record of 3:43.13, which were both ran in 1999.[31] In the 3000m, Ingebrigtsen defeated Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia, by one hundredth of a second, in a sprint finish.[32] At the time, Ingebrigtsen's clocking of 7:23.63 was the third fastest ever run at the distance, behind El Guerrouj's 1999 time of 7:23.09 and Daniel Komen's world record of 7:20.67, set in 1996.[33]

In fall of 2023, post-track season, Ingebrigtsen suffered an injury around the sacrum region, causing him, for the first time in seven years, to not defend his continental title at the European Cross Country Championships. According to Ingebrigtsen's spokesperson Espen Skoland, Ingebrigtsen focused on recovery and training during this time, after a lengthy, challenging 2023 season, to prepare for an important Olympic Year in 2024.[34]

2024: Sub 3:27 1500 metres, Olympic 5000m Gold, 3000m world record

[edit]

Ingebrigtsen skipped his indoor season, including the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, due to an achilles injury. Instead, he focused on preparation & training, for both the 2024 European Championships in Rome and the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, held in June and August, respectively.[35]

Ingebrigtsen's first race of 2024 was on 25 May, at the Prefontaine Classic's Bowerman Mile, against rivals Josh Kerr and Yared Nuguse.[36]

With the historically deep field, and the highly anticipated pre-Olympic match-up between Ingebrigtsen and Kerr, who last raced each other at the 2023 World Championships, the 2024 Bowerman Mile was billed as the "Mile Race of the Century". Kerr took the win in 3:45.34, a new British record, while Ingebrigtsen came second in 3:45.60, and Nuguse in third at 3:46.22.[37][38]

Ingebrigtsen won the 1500m race at the 2024 Oslo Diamond League meet in a time of 3:29.74, edging out Timothy Cheruiyot by three hundredths of a second. Ingebrigtsen's dramatic dive across the finish line secured his victory. This marked the world's best time in the 1500m so far in 2024.[39] Ingebrigtsen also won the 1500m race at the European Athletics Championships, with a time of 3:31.95, and the 5000m race in a time of 13:20.11.[40]

On 12 July 2024, in the final weeks before the 2024 Olympic Games, Ingebrigtsen improved his European record in the 1500 metres to 3:26.73 at Monaco's Herculis Meeting,[41] becoming the fourth man in history to break the 3:27 barrier. Only Asbel Kiprop, Bernard Lagat, and Hicham El Guerrouj have run faster than Ingebrigtsen's mark in the metric mile. Kiprop ran 3:26.69 in 2015, also at Monaco, Lagat ran 3:26.34 in 2001 at Brussels, and El Guerrouj ran the current world record of 3:26.00 in 1998 at Rome.[42][43]

Ingebrigtsen leading the 1500 m final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

On 6 August 2024, in the Olympic men's 1500 meter final, Ingebrigtsen unexpectedly faded to fourth, with Yared Nuguse, Josh Kerr, and Cole Hocker passing him in the final straightaway.[44] The race was highly anticipated given Ingebrigtsen's rivalry with Kerr, with World Athletics President and former middle distance runner Sebastian Coe labeling it a "Race for the Ages".[45] Ingebrigtsen led at a fast pace for most of the race, but in the final straightaway, was passed by Kerr. Ingebrigtsen ended up moving outwards, which gave Hocker an opening to use his kick, passing Ingebrigtsen and eventually Kerr to win gold in a new Olympic record and North American area record of 3:27.65. Meanwhile, Nuguse passed a fading Ingebrigtsen to secure a bronze medal and nearly passed Kerr, who secured a silver medal. Kerr and Nuguse finished in personal bests of 3:27.79 and 3:27.80 respectively, while Ingebrigtsen finished behind in 3:28.24.[44][46]

However, Ingebrigtsen would go on to win the 5,000m on 10 August, in a time of 13:13.66. This race saw a relatively slow start, but turned into a sprint finish, with the final lap being 53.2 seconds.[47] With his Tokyo 2020 gold medal in the 1500 meters, and his Paris 2024 gold medal in the 5,000 meters, Ingebrigtsen became the third man in history to have achieved a gold medal in both the 1500 meter and 5000 meter events. The other two men, Hicham El Guerrouj and Paavo Nurmi, achieved this feat in the same Olympic Games, in Athens 2004 and Paris 1924 respectively.[48][49]

On 22 August, at the 2024 Lausanne Diamond League, Ingebrigtsen defeated Olympic champion Cole Hocker in the 1500 metres, setting a new meeting record of 3:27.83 to Hocker's 3:29.85.[50]

Ingebrigtsen set a new 3000 metres world record at the Diamond League meeting in Silesia, Poland, on 25 August, clocking a sensational 7:17.55 to break the previous mark of 7:20.67 set by Kenya's Daniel Komen in 1996. Komen's nearly 28 year-old record, which no athlete had previously come within two seconds of (Hicham El Guerrouj coming closest at a distant 7:23.09), had been the longest-standing men's athletics world record in an individual track event. In breaking the record, the Norwegian became the first man to break the 7:20 barrier at this distance, averaging 58.34 seconds per 400m with the final lap being a blistering 55.45 seconds. Ingebrigtsen's 3000m performance, with a world athletics score of 1320 points, ranks as the second-highest men's distance world record in athletics, only behind Kelvin Kiptum's marathon world record of 2:00:35 which scores 1322 points.[51][52][53]

Bernard Lagat, a former middle distance runner and the second fastest 1500 m runner of all time, reacted to Ingebrigtsen's new 3000 m world record as follows.[54]

Hear this from a 1500m (3:26.34) dude. I’ve always maintained that the 3000m WR of 7:20.67 is the HARDEST WR to break. In my opinion- It’s harder than the 1500m WR; no disrespect to my dear brother, Hicham; Jakob’s 7:17.55 is WILD!!

— Bernard Lagat

On 5 September, Ingebrigtsen finished second to Yared Nuguse in the 1500 metres at the Weltklasse Zürich meeting, in a time of 3:29.52 to Nuguse's 3:29.21, who out-kicked Ingebrigtsen in the final straightaway. Although the wave lights were set to 3:26.73, Ingebrigtsen reported being sick after setting his world record in the 3000 metres. Ingebrigtsen's sickness and suboptimal weather and track conditions proved to make a world lead or world record by either Nuguse or Ingebrigtsen infeasible. In addition to Nuguse & Ingebrigtsen, the race featured the other two Olympic medalists, Cole Hocker and Josh Kerr, who finished third and fifth respectively. As such, this race was billed as an "Olympic rematch" and the "metric mile of the century".[55][56][57][58][59]

On 13 September, at the Wanda Diamond League Final in Brussels, Ingebrigtsen ended his track season with a Diamond League title in the 1500 m, winning in a time of 3:30.37.[60] At the finish line of the race was world record holder Hicham El Guerrouj, who congratulated Ingebrigtsen.[61]

On 15 September, Ingebrigtsen ended his season as a whole with the Copenhagen Half Marathon, his debut at the distance. At 10 kilometres, he split 27:27, which was a personal best for Ingebrigtsen and a new Norwegian national record. At the 10 km mark, he stopped, but ended up continuing on to finish the half marathon in a time of 1:03:13, which was 34th overall in the elite race.[62]

Personal life

[edit]

Jakob Ingebrigtsen starred in a five-season Norwegian reality show called Team Ingebrigtsen from 2016 to 2021, which revolved around him and his brothers, showing the trials and tribulations of middle-distance running.[63] In March 2024, a representative for Amazon Prime confirmed the development of a new show whose plot follows Jakob and his brothers in the lead up to the 2024 Olympics in Paris.[64][65] This series, known as Ingebrigtsen: Born to Run, premiered on 20 September 2024, with the first season having six episodes.[66]

In October 2023, Jakob, Filip, and Henrik Ingebrigtsen released a statement accusing their father and former coach Gjert of "aggression, control, and physical violence", also saying that he "took the joy out of the sport they once loved". Gjert stopped coaching his sons in 2022, and was not accredited at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.[67]

On 23 September 2023, Ingebrigtsen married Elisabeth Asserson.[68] Their daughter, Filippa, was born on 25 June 2024.[69]

Ingebrigtsen has stated he would like to break every record from the 1500 m up to the marathon. Thus far, Ingebrigtsen has broken the 2000m and 3000m world records, and the two mile world best.[70][71]

Music career

[edit]

In late July 2024, with the goal of getting Norwegians excited and confident in their athletes for the 2024 Summer Olympics, Jakob, Filip, and Henrik Ingebrigtsen released a pop song known as Ingen gjør det bedre (Nobody Does It Better). They released this under the handle The IngebritZ. In addition to featuring views of Norwegian fjords and mountains, along with archival footage of Norwegian athletes, the piece's original footage was filmed in St. Moritz, Switzerland.[72][73]
