Ingebrigtsen Apologizes, Still Criticizes Hocker

Double Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen issued a part-apology for his fiery comments following Friday's men's 1500m Diamond League final, where he labeled rivals 'losers' and a 'bunch of cowards.' However, the Norwegian runner maintained his stance that American Cole Hocker acted cowardly during the race.

Ingebrigtsen explained that Hocker had requested a strong pace and brought his own pacemaker to the race, only to then hide behind other runners. The two athletes have reportedly discussed the matter after the controversial final. slot-chickenroad.org
