Olympic Champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen is reported to miss his 2025 outdoor season opener due to an Achilles injury. Ingebrigtsen was set to make his 2025 outdoor season debut at the Oslo Diamond League, which is scheduled to be held on June 12, 2025, at the Bislett Stadion in Oslo, Norway.
Ingebrigtsen competed in his first race of the 2025 season at the indoor meet during the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais Trophée EDF in Lievin. At the meet, he set a world record in the indoor mile event by clocking an impressive time of 3:45.14. Ingebrigtsen's record shattered the American athlete Yared Nuguse's 3:46.63 record which he posted only five days prior at the Millrose Games in New York.
Ingebrigtsen's spokesperson Espen Skoland recently announced the athlete's decision to postpone his season opener

"Jakob has suffered a slight injury to his Achilles. He has therefore postponed the planned trip to the mountains, and there is uncertainty as to whether he will make it to Bislett. He will most likely have to postpone the start of the season. Work is now underway to make it happen, but he is not taking any risks."
At the same event, he also broke his previous 1500m short track world record of 3:30.60 by registering a time of 3:29.63 and became only the second athlete after John Landy in 1954 to have set world records for the mile and 1,500m in the same race. Following the race, he expressed his pride.
"It feels amazing,” said Ingebrigtsen. "This is what happens in Lievin. I’m a very happy man. You have to be focused for the whole race. It’s tough, but it’s worth it." (via Sportstar.com)
