Ingebritsen was huge as a youngster. He's coached by his Dad and he's got two (I think?) brothers who were also massive when they were in their late teens on the track circuit. He was always kind of expected to do great things but sadly he's never really produced the goods. At 16, he was the youngest teen to run a sub 4 mile and holds the 3k steeplechase record. He's got a fair record to back up the arrogance tbf! ETA - he's also only 23!

I’ve been made to watch watching the cycling for over 2 decades and I still don’t have a clue about the different races. All I know is they go fast, the velodrome is hot and sometimes you can’t see through their back wheel.

I despise cycling but I enjoy the slingshotty one. Trouble is they all have funny names so I never know when to put it on XD

Slingshotty. Totally know what you mean. I think it is the madison too.

By “I”, I mean the person who likes cycling who has just told me after I asked them which race involves slingshotting.

Love the steeplechase takes the hurdles up a level by adding a small puddle after each.
