Josh Kerr Beats Ingebrigtsen to win Men 1500M | European Athletics Championships Budapest 2023 |

dude thank you so much. The NBC commentary hurts my ears

It was World Championships not European Championships

[kartikkrishnan]

At the end of the 2022 World Championships 1500m, when Jake Wightman had pulled off the exact same strategy against Ingebrigtsen, it was suggested that Ingebrigtsen would go hard right from the outset in his next WC race (as against his usual strategy of hanging around the back of the pack, initially). Well, he did exactly that in this race and it still ended up with exactly the same result. I wonder what he will try next time!

Shoutout to Nordås, who almost caught up to Jakob after being so far behind during the sprint

Honestly seeing it happen twice by a Brit is amazing

[angstBali]

What a sore loser that guy was - and then he said he was sick - glad he lost. Bad sportsmanship.
