LAUSANNE, Switzerland : Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen held off Lamecha Girma in a battle of world record holders to win the much-anticipated men's 1,500 metres at the Athletissima Diamond League meet on Friday.
"I did not win in Oregon and I am looking to address that in Budapest," added the Norwegian, who was second in the 1,500 at the 2022 world championships, winning gold in the 5,000. Berihu Aregawi of Ethiopia set a sizzling pace in the men's 5,000m and then held off several challenges from Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei - including one final move from the world record-holder and Olympic champion down the homestretch - to win a nerve-jangling race in a world leading time of 12:40.45.
"To be a honest, I am a tad disappointed," Crouser said."I felt great and the potential for a really big throw was there and that's why I am not entirely happy. Nevertheless a win is a win.""It was a very challenging race and I felt completely empty at the end of it," Moraa said."The weather was particularly difficult for me."
