Ingebrigtsen dives to dramatic 1,500m win

Jakob Ingebrigtsen ensured a raucous end to a thrilling Diamond League meet in front of his home fans in Oslo by hurling himself over the line to snatch victory in the men's 1,500m in 3min 29.74sec on May 30.

A more dramatic finish could not have been better scripted on a night of shocks that saw five other reigning Olympic champions - including Ingebrigtsen's Norwegian teammate Karsten Warholm - upstaged.

For Ingebrigtsen, beaten over a mile last week by world 1,500m champion Josh Kerr, the victory was the perfect tonic with the Paris Olympics now just two months away.

"That was a sprint-off," said the Norwegian, who held off Kenyan Timothy Cheruiyot (3:29.77) and will now target the 1,500m-5,000m double in the French capital.
