Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s father found guilty of hitting his daughter but cleared of abusing Olympic champion
Gjert Ingebrigtsen acquitted of Jakob charges due to ‘reasonable doubt’
Handed suspended 15-day sentence and fined for abuse of Ingrid
The father of Jakob Ingebrigtsen has been given a 15-day suspended sentence after being found guilty of hitting the double Olympic champion’s younger sister, Ingrid, in the face with a wet towel.
But Gjert Ingebrigtsen, who coached his Jakob to 1500m gold at the Tokyo Games in 2021 before their acrimonious split a year later, was acquitted of charges relating to physical and verbal abuse against Jakob.
