ABOUT some think they’ve seen most of Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm, you just have to think again:

• Two Norwegian super athletes have never been better than at Bislett last night.

Warholm began the track season there by running to the fourth fastest time in history in the 400 meters hurdles, while Ingebrigtsen improved his own European record in the 1500 meters.

Both were Olympic champions at this distance from the Tokyo Olympics two years ago, but now their level is even higher.

Neither of them found it easy to get too excited about their own accomplishments, but at Bislett they set off:

– To run like I do. Wow!said Karsten Warholm at about 46:52.

– Something I will remember foreverthought Jakob Ingebrigtsen of his 3.27.95 run.

There’s a good reason for that. The world of athletics was amazed by his level.

– Warholm and Ingebrigtsen shone in Oslo, is title of the premier publication of World Athletics.

– Warholm and Ingebrigtsen were the stars, conclude The BBC’s dream convention is in Bislett.

.

TO usually the two are at the forefront of assessing their own prerequisites to play. While these two are so happy after what happened at Bislett, there’s reason for the rest of the sport to follow suit.

After all, Karsten Warholm was named the best track and field athlete for the 2021 Olympic season, before an injury halted a new record last year. Meanwhile, Jakob Ingebrigtsen just six days ago scored his first world record.

FINAL At the Olympics, Warholm won gold and broke the world record in the 400-meter hurdles in optimal conditions. A phantom time of 45.94 is considered the second all-time best result in international athletics; only Usain Bolt’s 9.58 100 from the 2009 World Championships achieved a higher score:

– He is the monster who destroyed all our tables, says one of the sport’s most avid mathematicians.

The way this Norwegian moved his own record in the 400 meter hurdles by almost a second shocked the entire athletic world.

He is a monster

BUT Warholm First the world record in the 400 meter hurdles was set right at Bislett a few weeks earlier. Then Warholm broke one of the oldest athletics records, and thrilled the fans with 46.70:

– He is from another planetwrote one enthusiastic American track and field expert.

Last night it worked even fasteralthough this is only the first outdoor competition of the year:

• Karsten Warholm made his season debut running 18 hundredths of a second under his first world record.

It was spinning wildly, and telling what was to come. Or as he summed up his own performance in light of the remainder of the season and Budapest’s WC in a few months:

– I can see nothing but lust for it.

THAT so did Jakob Ingebrigtsen. Admittedly, the 22-year-old player only rose four places to rank 18 in the overview above the best 1500 meter race of all timebut the feelings along the way tell us so much more:

– The atmosphere at Bislett struck at the heartstrings. Then it’s okay to give the best race of all timeJakob told NRK just minutes after the rest of the world’s elite had walked away.

This was his best time at his favorite distance, but behind the result were signs of much more.

FOR most importantly, Ingebrigtsen showed that he had some control over the development of form. For him too, the season had just begun. It will run faster. Jakob was sure of that.

That’s probably why he bragged about all the maids. The new team formed after the break with Gjert’s father before last season has given birth again:

– It’s something we’ve been doing for the last year. Trained as hard as possible without going berserkhe explained in the winning interview.

Merciless message

HE his explanation relates to work carried out jointly by the Ingebrigtsen family For it’s the most personal burst.

In terms of training, there can be no gaps as long as the intensity of the session is balanced carefully enough. It also shows the sensational progress of Narve Gilje Nordås. The former training mate from Sandnes, whose father Gjert is still managing sessions, broke the 3.30 barrier on the same Bislett course, and has a result improvement of more than six seconds in as many weeks.

The precise scheme that underpins success is rooted in principles dating back to New Zealand in the 1970s as a pioneering nation in track and field. But few have systematized this training as thoroughly as Gjert Ingebrigtsen.

– Means everything

CLEAN it’s sporty high class Ingebrigtsen people to take such a system further after breaking up with his father. They have developed Jakob without to be ruled. Now this progress seems too without border.

This is what reflects the broad knowledge-based advances that now characterize Norwegian sports stars in very different sports.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen saw the same thing on his big night:

– There will be an influx of Norwegian sportsmen. We want to be the best in everythinghe exclaimed.

THIS also see Sweden. Because amidst the furor over their own world star Armand Duplantis and the strong results of Karsten Warholm and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, it was all new Norwegian name to the surprise of the neighbors:

– Håvard Bentdal Ingvaldsen got the biggest cheer of all, write Expressen last night, and tell Swedish readers about another top young Norwegian player going on.

At 44.86, the unknown 20-year-old suddenly erased Karsten Warholm’s Norwegian 400 meters record:

– He was a bit astonished from Moelventhe local newspaper Ringsaker Blad wrote with pride about an athlete just a little outside the athletic core who realized potential..

Is it any wonder that the Swedes and the rest of the sporting world are always in awe of Norway’s winter sports that are almost in the middle of summer Not yet lead it international ranking list in which country is the best in all sports?

And surprising again and again.

Being in a questionable company
