What happened to Jakob Ingebgrigtsen?

The 4th fastest man in history did not run poorly tonight. In fact, despite serving as the unofficial rabbit for 1425 meters, Jakob Ingebrigtsen ran faster than when he won in Tokyo and only 1.51 seconds slower than when he was running behind rabbits in Monaco, but he lost to three different men who stepped up their games as Cole Hocker had the greatest close ever in a sub-3:29 race. What can Jakob try moving forward to get back on the podium?
