Wightman out of NB Grand Prix

Oh dear, don't like to see that. Hopefully just a minor sprain as would love to see some outdoor 1500m showdowns with all the main contenders healthy this year. This is the third British athlete with a metatarsal injury I've seen recently, weird!

Interesting that both Wightman and Ingebrigsten have had set-backs this winter. With Cheryuit and Kerr looking a little off their games last year, Nuguse actually has a really good chance at being the top 1500m guy in the world this year.

Gives me a good excuse to continue avoiding all gym work.

What setback is Ingebrigtsen dealing with this winter?

Looks like an excuse to plant barley.

how ironic

Wightman and Ingebrigtsen had set-backs last year as well, both with Covid. Ingebrigtsen had a set-back before Tokyo. Jakob, at the very least, will be fine and he's still got the 3k WR attempt next month to get a read on where he is. Early season sprains and niggles don't usually matter. It's not like either of them broke a bone

Yeah - what’s happened to Ingebritsen?

I wonder if he was doing plyos in high-stack shoes?

Dipped from the new years race for unknown reasons along with a few other people.

Illness - had to skip 5k in Spain and then was sick in Sierra Nevada camp. There was a Norwegian interview on this that was posted a few weeks ago
