Norwegian star Jakob Ingebrigtsen and British rival Josh Kerr have confirmed their participation in a 1500 meter showdown at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest. The match marks their first competitive meeting in approximately two years, with Kerr recently setting a world record in the mile while Ingebrigtsen made an injury comeback at a Diamond League event in Poland.
The prestigious event, requiring invitations for participation, will award $150,000 to each winner. Both athletes skipped the 1500 meter at the recent European Championships, with Ingebrigtsen focusing on the 5000 meters where he won gold. mwafrika.life
