Olympic Games 2024: Josh Kerr & Jakob Ingebrigtsen face off in 1500m final
World champion Kerr says the Olympic gold medallist has "flaws on the track and in the manners realm". And that he's surrounded by "yes men".
These two do not like each other. It's visceral yet palpable. They were even judiciously kept apart when they spoke to the media after the semi-finals, from which the Norwegian qualified just ahead of his Scottish rival. He's the Olympic record holder. His personal best of three minutes 26.73 seconds - set in Monaco last month - is more than two seconds quicker. He's also competing in the 5,000m here so, in theory, should have better endurance.
So how might the Norwegian feel if he's leading again with a lap to go in Paris and Kerr on his shoulder? Will Budapest be in his mind? "If he was super-confident, he could get through this semi without going anywhere near the front until about 500m to go. I think that's a feather in the cap for Josh."against father and coach Gjert - who denies the allegations - as well as watch Kerr become world indoor champion over 3,000m.
