Travelled to Norway to speak to Jakob Ingebrigtsen. He was fascinating on so many things, including his obsession with winning, autism, his love of cars and so much more theguardian.com/sport/2026/j…

"Look, it wasn't good enough this time, but I've gotta learn from it.
"Still, first European home, beaten by three Olympic medallists. It's hard to say I could have done a whole lot better."

"This year has been madness, I'm on a little bit of a roll and getting used to winning medals. You can bet that I'll be back next year and looking to win some more."

That is an absolutely astonishing performance by Cian McPhillips - 1:42.15. Did not get the reward he probably deserved.
It took three Olympic medallists to beat him.

Feature on Fionnuala McCormack, who doesn't have social media, doesn't own a smartphone and who's long preferred to let her results do the talking.
Attention and adulation?
