Filip Ingebrigtsen klar for EM og 5000 meter

Filip Ingebrigtsen er inne blant løperne som skal stille på 5000-meteren i EM i friidrett.
Dermed ligger det an til en brødreduell i Birmingham 10. august. Fra før er det klart at Jakob Ingebrigtsen (25) gjør et etterlengtet comeback fra skade på mesterskapets første dag.
Filip Ingebrigtsen er EM-kvalifisert gjennom sin plassering på verdensrankingen. Elleve løpere får innpass på 5000-meteren på denne måten.
Feltet består av 25 mann. Magnus Tuv Myhre og Andreas Fjeld Halvorsen er også kvalifisert til distansen.
Narve Gilje Nordås er ikke på oversikten for 5 000 meter til Det europeiske friidrettsforbundet. Han er derimot oppført på 1500 meter.
NRK møtte løperen i forbindelse med friidretts-NM i Trondheim for noen dager siden. Da var han fortsatt usikker på om han fikk delta.
– Jeg tror ikke det er realistisk uansett å kvalifisere seg med de to forrige resultatene jeg har, sa han til NRK den gangen.
I Trondheim tok han NM-sølv på 5000-meteren. Det var første gang han deltok i et NM siden 2024.
Det norske uttaket blir presentert fredag.
