Gjert vs Henrik -- Who was in the wrong?

Great Britain for thinking it was a good idea to put them there in the first place

Hansen varslet forbundet om Henrik Ingebrigtsen: – Mobbing og trakassering som vi ikke kan godta

My norweigan is a bit lacking but I am guessing the norweigans also think Henrik is a small petty man.

These are small small people. Is Henrik in 5th grade or just feeling the effects of stardom? But having said that, if you let a guy who weighs 117lbs (with a pocket full of sinkers) tell you to move or bully you, you need to check yourself.

Ingebrigtsens need to grow up. They bully Nordås and Gjert. I hope one day that Nordås will beat Jakob for the gold.. And then Jakob will be like "I had a cold, he was just the next guy".

Maybe we should just wait until we know all the details of the feud until taking sides.

In these situations where there's some rumored bad behavior but nobody has talked, half the time it turns out to be less bad than we thought and half the time it turns out to be worse.

And the third half of the time it's too murky and complicated to even make a determination. But until we know what actually happened, I don't see how we can possibly know who's right and who's wrong.

Ya they forgot where they came from and are taking success for granted. At the same time, people who live vicariously through their children are not exactly righteous either.

It's crazy that the federation just bent over for the bothers. The fact that the bullying complaint was made via phone call instead of in writing doesn't make it any less formal.

Sure the brothers are a huge deal in Norway right now, but they won't be forever. Why ruin the federation's reputation over a small family drama? The Ingebrigtsens are pushing their weight around, but if the federation stood firmly the family would have to be grownups and figure it out themselves. There is zero reason why other athletes should be harmed by this drama and the federation is causing harm.

Are you saying that Gjert is living vicariously through his children? If so, what is your evidence for that rather than that he did his best to set his kids up for success?

It takes 2 hands to clap so both must have been wrong to some degree considering both were carrying toxic mobile phone devices on their bodies 24/7 too, if you know what I mean yeah? Btw this isn't a bigoted view just in case the bigoted folks are reading this! Mobile phones destroy your brain function and other empathy for people. Makes you dumb AF. The issue would be why aren't they resolving things and getting back together again, and this responsibility is greater for Henrik than Gjert, so it would be Henrik more so in the wrong than Gjert!

FINALLY SOMEONE CRACKED THE CASE. It was their mobile f'ing phones! Thanks Khamis, you're a real genius.

Here is my view

Families break down for many reasons. Odds are that they simply could not stand Gjert’s actions anymore. You would see it all the time at competitions. Gjert would get upset and the kids were embarrassed at their father’s actions. At one point, they simply said, let’s stop being embarrassed. Let’s not have him here anymore. Kids get embarrassed by parents all the time. Maybe Gjert is on anti depressant (like 50% of population), which is why he gained a lot of weight and had to start exercising. Again, the kids have trouble with that.

Probably nothing more than that. If it was anything really serious, then Nordas would not have stuck with Gjert.

Kids simply find Gjert distracting before races. More so now that they have split.

Gjert is right. The sons are wrong. They need to learn respect and appreciation for everything he’s done for them.

this is fine, but then the treatment of nordas is inexcusable.

Look come on you are overcomplicating things. What's all these nonsense about 'families break down for many reasons'? These don't exist. It's all in your cellular phone irradiated and clouded brain. It's all a brain clouding. You think Martin Luther King would excuse such nonsense in his era before anthropogenic RFs and EMFs? Just simply take that phone away from you and none of these petty reasons and excuses exist in your emotions. Your emotion is a direct mathematical function of your cellular phone exposure, if there could be one. Whatever you 'feel' is a direct feeling moderated straight from your cellular phone because it's on you 24/7, and even if it's not on you 24/7 but your wife, son, daughter, friend, colleague is beside you in your vicinity also 24/7! And not to mention you are virtually surrounded in an electromagnetic bubble 24/7 not limited to cellular phones but all other types of electronic devices, cables and connections.

Many self righteous and judgemental people here without knowing the story.

That's the problem - we don't know what happened so it's not possible to make any kind of accurate judgement on it. TBH I think how vague it is actually fuels the speculation.

If you had the opportunity to watch the reality series of the family and trust that this was representative, Gjert was quite "brutal" emotionally and it is for me no wonder that the brothers finally got enough. This is not unique and happens in many many father-son relationships. But it is stupid when outsiders to the family are hurt by it. This is as far as I can see on especially Henrik since he is the one visible in the media being some kind of spokesman, or it is due to his personality, maybe both. It is immature to not treat Narve well and respectable and respect that he chose to continue with his trainer. I understand breaking and dealing with problems with their father is not easy, but someone should have the guts to tell them to behave and not let them do wrong just because Jakob runs fast. Kudos to the other Norwegian trainer that spoke his opinion - but he is a grown-up, so probably easy for him...
