Joel Lilleso name for the future, Denmark, not normally a hotbed for distance runners, but 2 World class distance runners among the youth right now including Christensen "

Not long after the above 1500m Joel improved to 3:44.50. Here is the video from that 1500m race in Skovdalen (Forest Valley) stadium:

It is a pity that the European Cross championship in December is cancelled. Joel Lillesø and Axel Vang Christensen would have been clear medal contenders in U20 in the age of 17(Joel turns 17 in November) and 16 respectively. And there is a third quite fast young Danish runner so the Danish could have taken the team gold.

It would also have been fun to see Jakob Ingebrigtsen competing in the European Cross senior rank (I think he will "jump over" the U23) against Gressier, Crippa, Wanders, the Turks, Ouassim Oumaiz, Isaac Kimeli, Jakob´s older brothers and more.
