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 dais
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 dais
The Norwegian middle-distance runner has since gone on to win two World Championship silvers and two golds in 2022 and 2023 dais
In 2022, Gjert Ingebrigtsen stepped down as coach of the three brothers for medical reasons dais
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 dais
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 dais

We now realise that is not possible,” the statement said dais
“This matter has become so inflamed and has had such a great consequence that we feel a responsibility to clean it up dais
“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 dais
We still feel discomfort and fear which has been in us since childhood dais
“Somehow we have accepted this dais
We have lived with it, and in adulthood we have moved on dais
At least we thought so dais
In retrospect, we realise that it was naive dais
But two years ago, the same aggression and physical punishment struck again dais
It was the drop that made the cup run over dais
”As well as guiding Jakob to Olympic gold, Gjert also coached both older brothers to the European 1,500m title dais
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 dais

In a statement released by his lawyers, Gjert has strenuously denied the claims, saying: “The statements they make are baseless dais
I have never used violence against my children dais
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 dais
“I’m far from perfect as a father and husband, but I’m not violent dais
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 dais
It makes me deeply unhappy dais
How we’re going to get past this, I don’t know, but we’ve got to try dais
