the dutch Tony Van Diepen star in the big surprise meeting of Bergen (Norway) by losing to Norwegian on Wednesday Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the final of 800 meters.
The youngest of the Ingebritsen siblings, current Olympic champion in the 1,500 meters, had to settle for fourth place with a time of 1: 47.22 minutes.
A record that prevented Ingebrigtsen, with a personal best of 1: 46.44, from fighting for victory alongside Van Diepen, a member of the Dutch team that won a silver medal in the 4×400 event at the last Tokyo Games, was imposed by a time of 1: 46.56.
Norwegian Tobias Gronstad, second with a time of 1: 46.74, and Australian Joseph Deng, third with a time of 1: 46.77 minutes, completed the podium.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who admits the 800 meters is “short”, will return to the slopes on June 16 in Oslo, where he will participate in the Bislett Games Mile event, after winning on May 28 at the same distance meeting in Eugene ( United States) with a time of 3: 49.76 minutes.
