Ingebrigtsen to Make Indoor Mile Debut at Lievin Meeting

Norwegian middle-distance sensation Jakob Ingebrigtsen is set to make his indoor mile debut at the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais Trophee EDF in Lievin on February 13. The 24-year-old will return to the venue where he set his world indoor 1500m record of 3:30.60 during the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in 2022.

Since that record-breaking performance, Ingebrigtsen has continued to dominate, setting outdoor world records in the 2000m and 3000m, as well as achieving a world best for two miles. The reigning world and Olympic 5000m champion also holds a European record for the mile with a blistering time of 3:43.73, placing him third on the world all-time list.

A three-time winner in Lievin, Ingebrigtsen claimed victories in the 1500m in 2021 and 2023, alongside his record-setting performance in 2022. His debut in the indoor mile is expected to be one of the season’s most anticipated events.
