The Team GB star had to settle for the runners-up prize in Paris.
Josh Kerr set a new national record to claim the silver medal in the men’s 1500m Michael Johnson said Josh Kerr should be ‘happy’ with silver but believes the Team GB star was overly ‘caught up’ in Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s tactics in a sensational men’s 1500m final at the Paris Olympics. Kerr entered this summer’s Games as one of Team GB’s great hopes for an athletics gold medal, with the 26-year-old looking to improve on the bronze he won in Tokyo three years ago.
But Ingebrigtsen will be the most disappointed of them all. ‘I think Josh will be happy with his silver, happy that he got back on that podium again. ‘He wants gold, he feels like he can get it at some point but I think he’ll be happy at the end.
