Jakob Ingebrigtsen Quickfire Q and A
Who’s the G.O.A.T? will you ever run a marathon, and the best coaching advice you have ever received? We ask the middle-distance star to give us quickfire answers.
Welcome to our quickfire question and answer session with the double Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigston. A middle- and long-distance super star, he won gold in the Tokyo Olympics in both the 1500m and the 5000m, he is the holder of the world record for the indoor 1500m and is also a reality TV star in his native Norway.
