It’s Worse Than We Thought… Jakob Ingebrigtsen OUT!

Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the Olympic champion and one of the world's top middle-distance runners, has undergone Achilles surgery in the United States, confirming the worst fears of track and field fans everywhere. The Norwegian star has been dealing with this persistent Achilles issue since last season, and the injury has already forced him to miss the entire indoor circuit. While his team remains optimistic about a potential return for the outdoor season, the full recovery timeline remains uncertain. This surgery raises serious questions about his participation in major 2026 championships and what this means for the highly competitive 1500m division.
