Jakob Ingebrigtsen's time broke the Olympic record of 3:31.65, set just two days ago! Tokyo2020
in 3:50.00, the slowest winning time since the 1932 Olympics. Cheruiyot used similar front-running tactics to win the 2019 world title.BEN STANSALLAt just 20 years old, this is Ingebrigtsen’s first medal on the world stage. He placed 4th and 5th in the 1500 and the 5,000 meters at the 2019 World Championships, respectively, but his status has been growing leading up to these Olympics.
This past June at a Diamond League meet in Florence, Italy, Jakob ran a European record time of 12:48.45.9 in the 5,000 meters, but he focused solely on competing in the 1500 for the Olympics. Bothered by a hamstring strain, Cheruiyot finished fourth in the 1500 in the Kenyan Olympic Trials in June and was initially left off the team. He was named to the Kenyan squad in July after running a world-leading time and personal best of 3:28.28 at the Monaco Diamond League. The second-place finisher at the Kenyan Trials, Kamar Etyang, was removed from the Kenyan team because the relatively unknown 18-year-old hadn’t undergone the requisite number of out-of-competition drug tests.
