Team Cheruiyot competed in the 2000m virtual race at Nyayo Stadium on Thursday night. But there was a real, honest-to-goodness track meet inside empty Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi and Bislett Stadium in Oslo, Norway, on Thursday night. And it featured an incredible 4:50.04 European record in the 2,000m by 19-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who remains a remarkable talent, global pandemic or not. We were using this virtual race as part of our preparations for upcoming Diamond League races and hope to compete in Monaco Diamond League in August." Henrik (4:53.72) and Filip (4:56.91) trickled in behind to give Team Ingebrigtsen a comfortable win.
