I was thinking about the 5000m race between Barega and Ingebrigtsen at the World Junior Championships. Barega finished a disappointing 4th and Ingebrigtsen grabbed the bronze.
Barega has rebounded and shown himself to be one of the best 5k runners of all time with his 12:43 PR. Ingebrigsten also had a great 2018, securing two European titles (1500m and 5000m)
When we see a rematch of these talented youngsters (both 18), who do you think will come out on top? Will Barega's overwhelming ability crush Ingebrigsten? Is Ingebrigsten a good enough racer to challenge in championship races?
In the 5000m and 1500m?
