Josh Kerr will race Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the hotly anticipated 1500m final
Pack the fridge, shut the curtains and kick the dog outside – because tomorrow night’s showdown between Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen is not to be missed.
Kerr ran his first 1500m race of the season in the heats here at the Stade de France, yet they came together in the first semi-final on Sunday night and, if that is anything to go by, Tuesday is set to be a cracker. Though the heavy favourites, Kerr and Ingebrigtsen are far from guaranteed a medal and Glasgow’s Neil Gourley is among the chasing pack bidding to bag the win.
The Stade de France is the place to be in the second week of the Games and if the 1500m final can match the 100m for drama, then we’re in for all-timer. Keely Hodgkinson will hope for less stress tonight but has promised a box-office 800m final after underlining why she is the favourite for gold by qualifying fastest.
