Kerr and Ingebrigtsen Set for Epic 1500m Olympic Duel at Paris 2024
——
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, the stage is set for an epic clash in the men's 1500m as Great Britain's Josh Kerr and Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen prepare to compete for gold. Kerr, who triumphed over Ingebrigtsen for world gold last year, posted a season's best of 3:35.83 in his heat. Ingebrigtsen, the reigning Olympic champion, finished third in his heat with a time of 3:37.04, while British teammate Neil Gourley also advanced, clocking 3:37.18. George Mills faces a repechage round to progress to the semi-finals. In the women's 100m, Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita, and Imani-Lara Lansiquot all made it to the semi-finals. However, Morgan Lake, who finished fourth at last year’s World Championships, missed the high jump final. The vibrant atmosphere at Stade de France promises a thrilling track competition.
