Josh Kerr ready to take on fierce rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen in race for the ages
- Athletes to compete in the mile at Prefontaine Classic in Oregon
- Asher-Smith and Neita face world and Olympic champions
It is the spiciest rivalry in track and field. And after months of trash talking and bravado, Britain’s Josh Kerr and Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen face off for the first time in 2024 in what could be a race for the ages on Saturday.
Kerr has bragging rights having shocked Ingebrigtsen to win the world 1500m title in Budapest last August. However Ingebrigtsen, the reigning Olympic champion, insisted he was sick at the time.
