Well, that's good to know. He's raced the outdoor championship distance more than once a year in the last 5 years. So about 1 and 1/2 times each year on average. There are hobbyists who run it more often. Less than two 5k races each year in 5 years. Is that a professional athlete? Of course - he's actually a 1500 runner.
Yes, a professional athlete. The most successful in men's distance running in the last decade.
Yes, a "1500 runner" who is one of the most successful 5000m runners ever.
Yet still not in the top twenty for the event for times. That's what comes from only running it once or twice a year.

He is in the top 20 for the event "for times".
He has raced the distance in the last 4 seasons as often as Joshua Cheptegei. Both have won Olympic Gold in this period - but Ingebrigtsen also has won 2 World champs Golds.
Good to have you back after your ban. It's really some fun to correct you and to give you some useful information.

Ingebrigtsen has still only run the event 8 times in 5 years. He has only once run under 13 mins. He just makes it into the top 20 for times, which hardly puts him at the top of the event historically. You're welcome.

As often as Joshua Cheptegei. Good that you realised and corrected your mistake. He cearly is at the top of the event historically. Only 1 other athlete has as many global golds as he has.
