Gjert Ingebrigtsen risks imprisonment for having assaulted two of his children, including the running star Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
This does not prevent him from continuing as a coach. Tonight, he will be present at a competition in Norwegian Bergen.
Gjert has announced that he is coming and has received coach accreditation on the same grounds as everyone else, says competition manager Per Godvik to Dagbladet.
Ingebrigtsen coaches Narve Gilje Nordås and Per Svela. Both are to run 3,000 meters at Fana Stadium tonight.
The trial against Gjert Ingebrigtsen was concluded, where he was prosecuted for domestic violence. The prosecutor is demanding imprisonment for two and a half.
Ingebrigtsen denies the crime.
The verdict is expected on June 16.
