While it's not possible to establish a direct causal relationship, it's worth noting that injuries appear to be more common among the Ingebrigtsens post-marriage
So you’re saying Gjert wasn’t the inflexible dictatorial monster that Jakob makes him out to be. All the more reason Jakob should have stayed with him.
No, I merely point to some well known facts. The details in the family relationships and what athletes and coaches should do or not has not been my theme here… But I think it’s really enjoyable that Jakob gets significantly better year after year, and hope and believe his injuries will be short lived. -Interesting if he can pick up something from Nordås’ strategies about staying injury free -reducing treadmill workouts and asphalt running, etc, and running in nature…
Holy shieee, if last season was him falling apart I do not know what to say, his potential would be enormous!
My guess is that he is drained from all the drama and need more time "off" + he probably have learned from this season that he might want to focus more on the big goal to not lose out on a gold yet again.
Why guess? The TV2 statement says that he is struggling with an injury. Is there a reason to suspect that this is not true?
Yes, injuries is happening in total isolation, and how you handle them is totally independent from your strategy for the season and how you feel physically and psychologically.
Hi. My user name is Bad Move, but really I'm Jakob's uncle (no, not really). I will continue to post, over and over again, negativity regarding Jakob's split from his daddy, my bro, whose behavior I mimic constantly... I must sign off now, since the police are headed my way.
