Ingebrigtsen breaks two indoor world records

Jakob Ingebrigtsen has smashed the indoor world records for both the mile and 1,500m in a race at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in France. The 24-year-old Norwegian finished the mile in a time of three minutes 45.14 seconds at the Arena Stade Couvert in Lievin. That saw the reigning Olympic 5,000m champion beat a time of 3:46.63 ran by Yared Nuguse of the United States at the Millrose Games in New York last Saturday. Ingebrigtsen also broke the indoor 1,500m record he set on the same track three years ago, clocking 3:29.63 and then holding on for the final half-lap to add the mile record. "It feels amazing. This is what happens in Lievin," Ingebrigtsen said. "I'm a very happy man. You have to be focused for the whole race. It's tough, but it's worth it."

Jakob Ingebrigtsen smashes two indoor world records in one night

Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke the world indoor mile record at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting, beating last week's mark set by American Yared Nuguse. Nuguse ran 3:46.63 at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday, but Ingebrigtsen bettered that five days later by over a second, clocking a time of 3:45.14 in Lievin, France. Twice Olympic gold medallist Ingebrigtsen also took down the world indoor 1,500 metres record with a time of 3:29.63, almost a second better than his own 3:30.60 at the same meet in 2022. "It feels amazing," said Ingebrigtsen, 24, after his first indoor mile race. "This is what happens in Lievin. I'm a very happy man. You have to be focused for the whole race. It's tough, but it's worth it." Nuguse congratulated his rival. "You win some you lose some, was a lit 5 days," Nuguse wrote on Instagram. "Congrats.' Both records are subject to won gold in the 5,000 meters at the Paris Olympics last summer after winning the 1500 meters at the Tokyo Olympics.
