"I'm just trying to stay calm. It feels amazing. The contrast in sports is unique, when we succeed, sometimes we experience bad experiences. It's amazing to be able to go through this," said Ingebrigtsen as quoted by AFP.
Tokyo Olympic champion Joshua Cheptegei decided to miss this number, after winning a 10,000-meter gold medal, thus failing to become the third athlete to win the Olympic gold medal twice in a row in the number after Lasse Viren in 1972-1976 and Mo Farah in 2012-2016.
