During the January training camp in Sierra Nevada Henrik demanded that his teammate Narve Gilje Nordås sit at a different table. Then later stopped Jakob from shaking hands with Narve at Bislett.
Not in article: he's also instructed other Norwegian runners not to train with or talk to Narve.
Henrik is very handsome though and pretty fast although not as fast as his brothers. Still ran a 7:34 3k this year
YEAH, EXACTLY. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!
My guess is when Gjert started coaching Nordas, a rift developed between Henrik and Gjert. That percolated to the other brothers. Now Gjert has been blacklisted from everything... weddings, official accreditation, etc.. It didn't help that Nordas started chirping in interviews in a manner that could have upset the brothers.
It's a shame as Gjert was the mastermind behind his sons' successes from such a young age yet he is treated like dirt now. It was because of Gjert's strict style of coaching these 3 brothers found success at that level. Let's be honest, without Gjert's coaching there would be no Jakob as we know today. No way.
Yeah, you're probably right. And *****ing the ******** probably didn't help either. Also, the ********* all over the ********?? Seriously, who does that?? Who's going to clean that up? And don't get me started on the *********. That's just wrong.

Henrik ran 7:34.80 (his second-highest IAAF score) and 13:13.99 pr's this year. Pretty good for a guy who can't train for his event, the 1500m, anymore (he ran 3:31.46, his highest IAAF score, in 2014, well before super shoes), because his body can't handle speed training, and who is 32 years old.
So true. It tells me everything i need to know when sons dont adress their male parent as "Father". Henrik had his father's contact in his cell phone as "Gjert Ingebrigtsen". So sad. Also i dont think the parents did a great job as parents. They did not give the kids enough love for who they were but rather for what they accomplished on the track. It must have f#**ed up the sons minds a great dea. Similar to what the Jackson 5 n their Dad. As a coach i give Gjert credit but as a father he has failed big time. I really hope they can find a solution and be a family again.
Hmm...if the rumours are true about Gjert then to be honest it reflects badly on Nordas for not having the moral initiative to stop training with him. Like, well done you got some good times but if it's because you shamelessly worked with someone who allegedly ******* his own ******** then you can't be surprised that you get former team mates turning against you.
Look if Gjert slapped his own daughter then in my opinion it would put Jakob in WR mental and emotional state for the 1500m and mile to cosy up to Gjert and soothe and comfort his anger at his own daughter! That's what a morally effective and WR inclined son does or would do for his own father in retrospection. It is the son Jakob who has all the power in his hands to tame and win over his daddy Gjert if he were really in WR shape for the 1500m and mile.

Good observation but I also reckon that Jakob and Filip are no less of a man than Henrik except their age differences. All 3 are adults and have rights and access to their parents only they can control individually and not on behalf of one another.
A man has a lot of power in Norwegian families and Jakob is a man so he can take his own decisions, I reckon. Elisabeth seems innocent enough but always remember that in between the affairs and interactions of men always lie the subtle suggestion or influence of a woman. In fact these days a good man has his power and position completely governed by his woman.
No really! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given to her by Svenge-her brother-in-law-an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist" , "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"...

Henrik is the best big brother ever. He shields jacob, takes all the media flak at the cost of his own reputation to provide Jacob with the best possible setup.

He’s listed as 1.8m tall so not that small. Sounds very petty though.
I believe he is referring to Floyd Mayweather, the boxer. Might be related to the fact that Mayweather has a long history of domestic violence and assault charges.
So where's the domestic violence and assault charges against Gjert?
Going around rumor-mongering and gossiping to that effect is sleazy. Doesn't make anyone look bad but those doing it.
I agree. I personally was just explaining what another user meant, not saying that's what happened. I have no idea about what actually happened, and will be staying out of it.

Here you go again with your bigotted BS!
If I'm bigoted then let me guess you are one of those more 'open minded' ones who either sleeps around immorally or openly supports LGBTQ right? And that's why these groups of people could never break the WR for the mile and 1500m. Only a real legit man like EL G with no tattoos and all worshipping of God could do it! Btw, the last I checked, all the WRs holders at the Olympic distance were either real men or real women, and that says a lot about whether 'bigoted' views are even relevant to our discussion here!
