Jakob Ingebriggen: the double Olympic champion provides evidence against his father in the Norwegian court

Jakob, 24, and his Filip brothers, 31 years old, and Henrik, 34, who are also Olympic athletes, made public statements in October 2023 that their father – who was their coach until 2022 – had been violent.

The trio, which is among the seven children in Inscriggen, wrote at the moment that they “You still feel discomfort and fear” About Gjert, who accused of being “very aggressive and control”.

Gjert, who resigned as a coach of his children in 2022, said at the time through his lawyer that the statement was “without foundation” and “he never used violence against his children”.

Gjert was accused of a crime in April – but five accusations were eliminated on the basis of the tests and one of them because of the time constraints. A further debit was subsequently added to the case.

In addition to his two Olympic titles, Jakob is twice world champion of 5,000 m, twice silver medal of 1500 mi European champion 11 times.

At the weekend he won two world indoor titles that took gold in 3,000 and 1500m in Nanjing, China.
