Jakob Ingebrigtsen suffered a shocking early exit in the men’s 1500 meters heats at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, describing his own performance as “terrible.” The Norwegian middle-distance star, already a two-time Olympic and world champion, was aiming to claim the one major 1500m title missing from his collection: the world outdoor gold.

Ingebrigtsen’s season has been plagued by injury, causing him to miss six months of competition. Despite the setback, he remains focused on the 5000m, where he has claimed his past three global titles.

The 1500m heats also saw major surprises: Britain’s Josh Kerr, Jake Wightman, and Neil Gourley advanced, while top-ranked Frenchman Azeddine Habz and Kenyan teen Phanuel Koech were eliminated.

Watch the full breakdown as we review Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s shocking elimination, his reflection on the race, and his plans to regain momentum in the 5000m at the World Athletics Championships 2025.
