Jakob Ingebrigtsen has accused his father and former coach of physical violence and abusive behaviour in a statement alongside his two brothers, Filip and Henrik – an accusation that their father strenuously denies mobile
Olympic 1,500m champion Jakob, the youngest of the three siblings, shot to fame when he stormed to gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 aged just 20 mobile
The Norwegian middle-distance runner has since gone on to win two World Championship silvers and two golds in 2022 and 2023 mobile
In 2022, Gjert Ingebrigtsen stepped down as coach of the three brothers for medical reasons mobile
However, the rift became increasingly public when Gjert began coaching fellow Norwegian Narve Gilje Nordas, who is a main rival of Jakob heading into next year’s Olympics having won bronze at the World Championships in August mobile
Now, in an article for the publication VG, the brothers have gone public with historical claims of physical abuse about their father, suggesting “now the situation is unbearable mobile

We now realise that is not possible,” the statement said mobile
“This matter has become so inflamed and has had such a great consequence that we feel a responsibility to clean it up mobile
“We have grown up with a father who has been very aggressive and controlling and who has used physical violence and threats as part of his upbringing mobile
We still feel discomfort and fear which has been in us since childhood mobile
“Somehow we have accepted this mobile
We have lived with it, and in adulthood we have moved on mobile
At least we thought so mobile
In retrospect, we realise that it was naive mobile
But two years ago, the same aggression and physical punishment struck again mobile
It was the drop that made the cup run over mobile
”As well as guiding Jakob to Olympic gold, Gjert also coached both older brothers to the European 1,500m title mobile
The three brothers and their father had a very public relationship as the stars of a Norwegian reality TV show, Team Ingebrigtsen, but the trio now say they don’t have the “capacity or desire” to interact with him mobile

In a statement released by his lawyers, Gjert has strenuously denied the claims, saying: “The statements they make are baseless mobile
I have never used violence against my children mobile
That I have had weaknesses as a father, and to a great extent been a coach, is a realization I have also come to – albeit far too late mobile
“I’m far from perfect as a father and husband, but I’m not violent mobile
First and foremost, this is a tragic situation for my family – we have reached the point where we are spreading false accusations against each other in the media mobile
It makes me deeply unhappy mobile
How we’re going to get past this, I don’t know, but we’ve got to try mobile
