It feels fantastic. This is what happens in Lievin, he says in the victory interview with the organizer, referring to when he set a world record in the 1,500-meter race on the same track in 2022, 3.30,6.
The 24-year-old running star and reigning Olympic champion on 5,000 meters had never before run an English mile indoors in competition, according to the International Athletics Federation. Ingebrigtsen's goal beforehand was to beat Yared Nuguse's record on the distance from last weekend, when the American ran in 3.46,63 in New York.
Erik Erlandsson had the fastest time in the men's 200 meters, the time 20,45 was only two hundredths of a second from his own Swedish record.
Maja Åskag finished fifth in the women's triple jump with a jump of 13,86 meters as her longest. Cuban Leyanis Pérez won with a world-leading 14,62.
