veldig imponerende!
-
Where would that put him in relation to Alan Webb, Jim Ryun, Centro etc at the same age?
-
Jeg berøre meg selv!
-
Does his father happen to be a doctor?
-
very impressive. That's usual 8th grade age at this stage. 3:50.57 is around a 4:08 mile! The American high school sophomore record (age 16 typically) is 4:06, while the freshman record is Eli Krahn(?) at around 4:09. This second Ingebrigtsen kid has a bright future.

I thought i read somewhere Kevin Sullivan ran 3:54 for 1500 at age 13 or 14.
-
his father is a current runner. 3:50 miler

And I thought my 5:01 1600 in 8th grade was fast. This kid would be almost 300 meters ahead of me.
-
And he\'s got other moves!

Ingebrigtsen looks so out of place in the Diamond League meets. Mustache, tights, white...looks like a lumberjack out there.
-
Is that legit him?
-
Yes sir, he did it while he was in grade 9. It's pretty crazy to be that talented.
-
Legit. And he's got very nice running form, too. (Age 14)

Lol. How old is this "father" of his? -
Are you guys really this f$&&@1g clueless? Henrik is his brother, not his father. His brother was 5th in London.

how do you run a 3:50 1500, but only a 1:28 600

That was a beautiful thing to watch. -
The kid's got really clean running form. That 1:28 600m did not look like more than a workout--with people it looked like he could hold that pace a good deal longer. With 1.08x, his 1500m converts to 4:09 flat.
