Timothy Cheruiyot has finally reacted to Jakob Ingebrigtsen's dive at the Diamond League Meeting in Oslo and revealed what the Norwegian told him when they met at the gym the next day.
Olympic Games 1500m silver medallist Timothy Cheruiyot has for the first time spoken to the media about Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s dive at the Diamond League Meeting in Oslo, Norway.
The 2019 world champion revealed that he thought he had won the race before he saw Ingebrigtsen diving at the finish line to take the win. At first, Cheruiyot also thought that the two-time world 5000m had hurt himself after the fall but it was the Norwegian’s tactic to win the race.
Speaking on the Safari za Mabingwa show hosted by Oga Obinna, Cheruiyot noted that after the race, he met up with Ingebrigtsen at the gym and the 23-year-old told him to learn how to dive next time he competes against him.
