What Jakob Ingebrigtsen Said About Josh Kerr Will Leave You SPEECHLESS!

Jakob Ingebrigtsen just reignited one of track and field’s biggest rivalries with a blunt message aimed at Josh Kerr. After winning European gold in Birmingham in his first race in 324 days, Ingebrigtsen criticized athletes who skip major championships and said he could never understand choosing not to compete against the best. Kerr had a very different reason for missing Birmingham just weeks earlier, he had broken Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27 year old mile world record with an astonishing 3:42.66 before winning Commonwealth gold in Glasgow. The World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest has brought Ingebrigtsen and Kerr back together for a 1500m showdown that could become one of the defining races of the season. With Olympic champion Cole Hocker, world champion Isaac Nader, and two of the greatest middle-distance runners of this generation on the same starting line, there will be nowhere to hide. #JakobIngebrigtsen #JoshKerr #TrackAndField #WorldAthletics #1500m
