Ingebrigtsen in dreamland
Karsten Warholm may be out of action after he pulled up injured in Rabat earlier this month, but the fans in Oslo’s Bislett Stadium will still have plenty of home superstars to cheer for, with 1500m Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen chief among them.
Ingebrigtsen leads a strong field in the famous Dream Mile, as both he and the likes of Kenya’s Abel Kipsang and Great Britain’s Jake Wightman look to continue their recent good form on the Wanda Diamond League circuit. As well as valuable Diamond League points, there is also a certain family pride at stake: none of the Ingebrigtsen brothers have ever won the headline event at the Oslo Diamond League, and 21-year-old Jakob will be out to change that on Thursday.
