Ingebrigtsen and Kerr Battle for 1500m Gold at Paris Olympics
——
The rivalry between Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr has intensified as they prepare for the men's 1500m final at the Paris Olympics. Ingebrigtsen, the Olympic gold medallist and world record holder, claims he can beat Kerr blindfolded, while Kerr, the World Championship gold medallist, has criticized Ingebrigtsen’s track flaws and entourage. Their tension dates back to the 2022 World Championships, where Ingebrigtsen's defeat by Jake Wightman ignited Kerr’s rivalry. Kerr’s win over Ingebrigtsen in Budapest 2023 further fueled their hostility. Despite Ingebrigtsen’s faster personal best, Kerr excels in tactical racing and finishing. The final, set for Tuesday at 20:00 BST on BBC One, promises to be fiercely contested.
