Jakob Ingebrigtsen (born 19 September 2000) is a Norwegian middle- and long-distance runner. Ingebrigtsen won the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 1500 metres event, setting Olympic and European records.[2] Ingebrigtsen also won two gold medals at the 2018 European Championships for the 1500 and 5000 metres events, a feat he repeated in 2022. At the 2022 World Athletics Championships, he won the gold medal in the 5000 metres and the silver medal in the 1500 metres. At the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold, Ingebrigtsen broke the world record in the indoor 1500 m.

In October 2019, Ingebrigtsen was the youngest pacemaker in the successful sub-2 hour marathon attempt by Eliud Kipchoge. In June 2021, at the Diamond League, he set a new European record in the 5000 m with his time of 12:48.45.[3] As of 2021, Ingebrigtsen was the 8th, 6th, 9th and 12th fastest man over the 1500 m, 2000 m, 3000 m and 5000 m, respectively. He also holds the distinction of being one of only two men to run a sub-3:30 1500 m, sub-7:30 3000 m and a sub-12:50 5000 m along with 3000 m and 2 mile world record holder Daniel Komen.

His older brothers Henrik and Filip are also middle-distance runners who compete internationally. They were trained by their father Gjert Ingebrigtsen[4] until 2022.[5] Jakob is also a star in a Norwegian reality show called Team Ingebrigtsen, which revolves around him and his brothers and shows the trials and tribulations that come in middle-distance running.[6]

Career

On 27 May 2017, 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 finished first in a mile race at Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway with the time 3:56.29.[8]

On 8 July, he beat the junior European record on 3000 metres steeplechase at the Guldensporenmeeting in Kortrijk, Belgium with the time 8:26.81. This was his first time competing in the 3000 m steeplechase event.

On 26 May 2018, at age 17, Ingebrigtsen ran a 3:52.28 mile in the Prefontaine Classic's Bowerman Mile for 4th place. It is the fastest mile run by a 17-year-old.[9]

On 5 July 2019, he set a new personal best and a U20 European Record in the 1500m when he ran 3:30.16 in Lausanne.

On 20 July, he set a new National Record and U20 European Record at 5000 m (13:02.03 in London).

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

Making his debut at the distance, he broke Sondre Nordstad Moen’s Norwegian 10 km record at the Hytteplanmila in Hole on 19 October 2019, 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.[10]

2021: Tokyo Olympic champion

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.[11]

At the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Ingebrigtsen set an Olympic and European record at 3 minutes 28.32 seconds to secure gold in the 1,500-meter final, after eclipsing the previous record of 3:31:65 held by the Kenyan Abel Kipsang. He became the second youngest winner in the event.[12] On the final bend Ingebrigtsen overtook for the first time Timothy Cheruiyot, who won the silver medal.[13][14]

2022–present: world 1500m indoor record

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.[15]

At about a month later at the 2022 World Indoor Championships 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.[16]

He won gold at the 5000 meters event at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon in a time of 13:09:24. He became the first male runner not born in Africa to win an Olympic or World Championships gold in the 5000 in 30 years, going back to Dieter Baumann in the 1992 Summer Olympics.
