He is not much to do about it. But behind that..., says Samuel Pihlström to TV4.
The Swede came second in Friday's third qualifying heat in Nanjing, China, with a time of 3.42,21. Luke Houser, USA, won the heat with 3.41,16,
Ingebrigtsen, who is chasing his first World Championship gold indoors and recently took double gold (at 1,500 and 3,000) at the European Championship, won the second qualifying heat with 3.39,80.
The job is done. I won the heat and am through. I tried to run with some margins and save my strength, says Ingebrigtsen, both Olympic and World Championship gold medalist outdoors, to NRK.
Besides the Norwegian star, Pihlström, eighth at the World Championship indoors in Glasgow last year, believes he can beat everyone in Sunday's final.
Now I don't know how it has looked in the previous races, who has qualified and so on. But I would say that everyone who makes it to the final has a chance of a medal, says Pihlström to TV4.
