[Reuters]The rivalry between Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Timothy Cheruiyot and Samuel Tefera will reignite at the Prefontaine Classic on May 28, when the trio of global gold medallists will clash in the Bowerman Mile. Now they will meet in the mile at this season’s third Wanda Diamond League meeting in Eugene. In last year’s race, Ingebrigtsen captured his first Bowerman Mile victory, running the fastest ever time on US soil of 3:47.24. Cheruiyot, meanwhile, won the Bowerman Mile and claimed world gold in 2019, before going on to secure silver behind Ingebrigtsen at the Olympic Games last year. He would ultimately bounce back to beat the Norwegian in the Zurich Diamond League to claim the 2021 Diamond League title.
