Jakob Ingebrigtsen adds the World Indoor 1500m record to his Olympic title. Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen has broken the World Indoor 1500m record to enhance his reputation as one of the world's leading middle distance runners. The Norwegian shaved almost half a second off the old mark held by Ethiopian Samuel Tefera, clocking 3 minutes 30.60 seconds at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Lievin, France. Ingebrigtsen covered the final lap of the 200m track in 27.57 seconds to finish more than three seconds clear of Tefera. "This is always a fast race and its a really nice arena," Ingebrigtsen said.
