Commenting about Kerr’s world record, the Norwegian said: “It is not certain that he runs any better now than last year at the same time; he did not run two miles then.
“I would have beaten him in that race, blindfolded… But it’s good that people run better than they have done before.”
During a pre-race press conference ahead of the World Indoor Championships, a Norwegian journalist asked Kerr about how he felt concerning the comments from Ingebrigtsen and the fact that he was not running the championship.
After persuasions from Grant Holloway concerning how he would answer the question, Kerr said: “No comment.”
Meanwhile, he also noted that having the event in his home nation is a great way to encourage young kids to embrace their talents.
