Ingebrigtsen breaks indoor mile world record in France

SPORTS 13.02.2025

Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the reigning Olympic 5,000m champion, set a new indoor mile world record of 3min 45.14sec at a meet in northern France on Thursday.

The 24-year-old Ingebrigtsen, the Olympic 1,500 champion in 2021, had come to the event expressly to better the 3:46.63 record run by American Yared Nuguse at the Millrose Games in New York last Saturday.

"It feels amazing," said Ingebrigtsen, who had never before raced the distance indoors.

"This is what happens in Lievin. I'm a very happy man. You have to be focused for the whole race. It's tough, but it's worth it."

He also broke the indoor 1,500m mark he set on the same track three years ago, clocking 3:29.63 and then holding on for the final half-lap to add the mile record.
