After Olympic gold winner and world record holder Karsten Warholm (26) suffers from what are believed to be muscle cramps and having to break his season debut in the 400 meters hurdles in Rabat last Sunday, Jakob Ingebrigtsen – apparently in Warholm’s absence – will be the main draw during the traditional Bislett Games.

Henrik, Filip and Jakob had run the mile in Bislett several times, but never made it over the finish line first.

This time, Jakob will have to beat, among others, Abel Kipsang of Kenya (number four on «mile» in Eugene), Stewart McSweyn of Australia (won «mile» in Bislett last year: 3.48.37), Mohammed Katir of Spain (press 3.28.76 in 1500 m ) and his older brother Filip (11th place in «miles» in Eugene) for adding a new chapter of history to the athletic adventure «Ingebrigtsens fra Sandnes».

PS! In the World Championships in Eugene, the program was determined taking into account two gold medals for Jakob Ingebrigtsen: 1500 meters (heat, semifinals and final) on the second day (16 July), the third and fifth day (19 July), then 5,000 meters (hot and final) on the seventh and 10th day of the championship (24 July). At the European Championships in Munich a month later (15-21 August) it was the other way around, first 5,000 meters and then 1500 meters – quite right with less intense competition.
