Jakob Ingebrigtsen was the first to cross the finish line and seemed to have secured the gold. But on the results lists, the 20-year-old came in last after being disqualified. Instead, Pole Marcin Lewandowski was the winner.
Ingebrigtsen’s father and coach, Gjert Ingebrigtsen, quickly filed a protest and it was confirmed by the competition jury. A few minutes before midnight, the gold was Norwegian again, write NRK and VG, referring to the Norwegian Athletics Association.
– The rules are on my side. “I don’t think he did anything wrong, it was just too many brokers,” the broker tells NRK before receiving the message that the gold is his again.
The controversial event occurred in the first shift, when Ingebrigtsen ended up in trouble and off the list.
– I was left off the list in the turn, but I felt that some Poles were trying to stop me, so I do not expect there to be any problem, says Ingebrigtsen, who threatened to leave the championship prematurely if the dishes were prepared.
