KM Sandneshallen G14 600m Jakob Ingebrigtsen

[@GeoffreyHiggs]

Well done. Kristoffer...hopefully you will run an indoor 3000m this winter, and have someone film it for you!

This kid is a beast.

[@marcweeks9178]

Steve Prefontaine would've been a big fan. Ingebritsen loves to run from the front; he stays out of all sorts of trouble that way. In this race, he simply made the other runners disappear, because we never saw them again after that.

didn't he break 4 minutes in the mile when he was 15 yrs old?

[@cyoul8trallygatr549]

16 years old, and the youngest ever in world history.

[@lipstickonapalin8360]

@@cyoul8trallygatr549 Yep. I realized my mistake on the age days afterwards. He also is 8th all time now in the 1500 at age 19.

@@lipstickonapalin8360 And all the other 7 was older than him when they sat their pb. If I had to put money on whether he would climb that ranking or not, I would not have been in any doubt. In fact, I think he will go sub 28 in 2021 if nothing unexpected happens. But my guess is that it is the mile and 5000m pb he will smash most next year. 3.47 or better on mile and under 12.50 on 5000.

@@cyoul8trallygatr549 The kid is great. I just hope he stays healthy. As far as the mile, it's too bad that don't run that race very often.

@@lipstickonapalin8360 Agree to all.

1'28" indoor? Impressive for a 14 years old boy...

[@trancemaster5009]

He was 13 and running against 14 year olds, in 14 year old category I think.
