Translated from Norwegian from the following article:
According to what Se og Hør has learned, the Ingebrigtsen brothers will now refuse to start, if dad Gjert is allowed to be present at the stadium.
Se og Hør has been in contact with Henrik Ingebrigtsen for a comment on this matter. Henrik replied with the following emoji:🤡
- Can't bully others away
- Do the brothers have a legal basis for refusing to participate in races if Gjert Ingebrigtsen is present?
"The brothers can, of course, refuse to run, they are not slaves, but they equally cannot prevent others from running or being present. The brothers must choose for themselves what they want to do. Gjert is concerned about a safe sports environment for everyone, including Narve and where you cannot bully others away," Elden writes in an email to Se og Hør.
