Ingebrigtsen set to miss Diamond League meetings in Poland, Belgium
Olympic 5,000 metres champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen is set to miss this month's Diamond League meetings in Poland and Belgium as he recovers from injury, his spokesperson said on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Norwegian had been scheduled to run the 1,500 metres in Brussels on August 22 and was also listed for the Silesia meeting in Poland on August 16, having been announced for the event as early as December last year. Ingebrigtsen has struggled with an Achilles injury over the last few months and had to drop out of the Ostrava Golden Spike and Oslo Bislett Games in June. 'He is still working on getting rid of the injury he has sustained to an Achilles. Unfortunately, he would very much have liked to be able to participate,' Ingebrigtsen's spokesperson Espen Skoland told Norwegian TV2. Ingebrigtsen has not competed since claiming the double Gold in the 1500m and 3,000m at the World Indoor Championships in March. He has spent recent weeks training in St. Moritz, where his camp say he is making steady progress. No revised timeline has been given for a return to competition, but Ingebrigtsen has said his goal is to compete at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in September.

Sprinting sensation Gout Gout sent warning by Britain's fastest man - 'That's a fact'
Gout Gout is yet to take on the world's best and Zharnel Hughes believes it is too early to make any big predictions around the Australian until he has tasted top level competition Zharnel Hughes says it is too early to make predictions about 'very talented' Gout Gout because the teenage sensation is yet to take on the world's best. Australian Gout, 17, has run faster at his age than Usain Bolt managed during his formative years and will debut on the global stage over 200m at next month's World Championships in Tokyo. But Gout's early flirtations with the senior ranks have been mixed. He was beaten by compatriot Lachlan Kennedy in his first senior race in the spring over 100m but clocked an Oceania record 20.02 by winning the Ostrava Golden Spike 200m in June. And Hughes, the British record holder over 100m and 200m, believes the new kid on the block's real ability cannot be gauged until he has competed in a high press environment. 'I hope to race him soon,' Hughes said. 'That's a fact but I don't know if he really ran with the senior seniors as yet. He hasn't really ran with the competition that we are working to be competing against as yet. "But he's a good talent, I must say. He seems very talented. He has a very good top-end speed as well. "So I wish him all the best when he comes to line up with us, then we'll be racing each other.' Hughes, however, insists that when the time comes to line up next to Gout he will not be driven to teach the youngster a lesson. 'No I'm not focused on who's behind me or who's ahead of me. I'm focusing on executing my own race,' he adds. 'Obviously, it would be great to race against him. You know, there's a lot of youngsters coming up through the ranks who have been performing well. 'So you can't ignore what you've been seeing. You just know on the day you have to deliver and I, for sure, will be delivering.'
