For Jakob Ingebrigtsen this wasn’t so much revenge, and certainly not redemption, but more a case of normal service resumed for one of the greatest athletes of his generation. Just over a fortnight after failing to win a medal in his beloved 1500m in Paris, the 23-year-old Norwegian gave Olympic champion Cole Hocker of USA a convincing beating at the Lausanne Diamond League.

Ingebrigtsen clocked 3:27.83 to win the 1500m well ahead of Hocker (3:29.83), having drafted behind a pair of pacemakers – including Ireland’s Luke McCann – until the last lap. Hocker was close enough to strike on the back straight but this time around, Ingebrigtsen had plenty left in the tank.
