Here is the link to what he posted on his Instagram story for anyone wondering.

Dude wins a silver with COVID. GOAT (European) of all time

Bad news but kind of good news as well 🤔 not bad result with covid.

Wow quite a plot twist! Hopefully he didn’t give it to Jon + Rojo during their interview - would suck to be stuck in Belgrade

OMG Jakob my poor little dude

OozmaKappa goes home DEVASTATED

I wonder if he was already feeling it yesterday but didn't want to say it or get stuck quarantining in Serbia. He was wearing a mask in his post race interview even though he didn't wear one after the prelim.

Textbook covid. The only sickness that 98% have no or mild symptoms. The only sickness that you need a test to find out you have it. The only sickness that you can run a 3:32 1500.

World-wide government induced hysteria. The sky is falling.

Yeah, and those 2-3 millions just pretending to die from it - embarrassing.

Do you know anything about their states of health, lifestyles, upbringing etc? Serious question.

Just take the L. I’m a big Jakob fan but wtf? Why post the pic as an obvious attempt at an excuse. Almost nullifies his humbling post race interview.

This is a google translation of the article:

Henrik about Jakob's positive test: - Damn bad timing
Henrik Ingebrigtsen (31) says he suspected that something was not right with Jakob Ingebrigtsen (21) when he saw him run the World Cup final and then be interviewed.

- I told him after that. He looked tired in the face and was not as alert as he usually is. Neither during the race nor in the interview with NRK afterwards. He did not have the splash and the energy level he usually has, says Henrik Ingebrigtsen.
- I was concerned when he said that he had not felt so good. Now we understand more why. It was of course damn bad timing, adds Henrik Ingebrigtsen.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen was naturally enough favorite to win the World Cup final in the 1500 meters indoors and take his first World Cup gold in Belgrade on Sunday, after he set a world record for the exercise in French Liévin on 17 February.
But Ethiopia's Samuel Tefera - who Jakob Ingebrigtsen clearly beat in Liévin - beat him in the sprint in Serbia's capital on Sunday night.

After the race, he denied that he had failed with regard to the race schedule, and that Gjert Ingebrigtsen's absence as coach had affected his performance. Jakob Ingebrigtsen, on the other hand, expressed that he had not felt as fit for fight as he usually does in connection with competitive races.
"Rarely do I feel so bad," he said.
- He was clearly given up and frustrated. He thought he was better. In my opinion, the race plan was perfect. I did not want him to run differently. But I had expected more from him after seeing him in training, says Henrik Ingebrigtsen.
The answer to why he had not been like himself came on Monday morning. Then Jakob Ingebrigtsen took a positive test after returning to Sandnes. He announced this on his Instagram account immediately.
- You can minimize risk as much as you can, but never rule it out (infection) completely. He may have gotten it on the plane. It is not good to know where he has been infected. But it has probably affected his recovery after the trial (qualifying race) on Saturday, says Henrik Ingebrigtsen.

He says that "they" considered whether Jakob Ingebrigtsen should take a blood test after the test heat in Belgrade. However, now that the cause of the "labre" race has been revealed, it is not necessary. Jakob Ingebrigtsen will now follow the Olympic Summit's conservative covid recovery program to be declared competitive again.

I can almost say that this is a "nice" point in the corona life we have lived. Now it is as if a full circle has passed, says Henrik Ingebrigtsen considering all the self-imposed covid restrictions "Team Ingebrigtsen" has complied with since the epidemic was a fact just over two years ago.
Filip Ingebrigtsen had a strong reaction after being vaccinated last year, and he was diagnosed with coronary heart disease on his way home from Spain in February. Unlike his two running brothers, Henrik Ingebrigtsen has not been infected with covid-19. But the father of two admits that it has been hard to live and train almost in isolation.
- I have stopped going to the store and have felt the gray "covid walls" coming towards me. I'm wondering how to get away with this. I am considering taking a home test now, he says.
