Ingebrigtsen claims revenge on Hocker in Lausanne 1500m
Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen went some way to forgetting his Olympic blip in the 1500m when he beat American Cole Hocker in Thursday's Diamond League meet in Lausanne.
The Norwegian had been an odds-on favourite for Olympic gold in Paris, but misjudged his early pace, burning himself out to allow Hocker in for gold.
Ingebrigtsen eventually finished fourth as Britain's Josh Kerr and Yared Nuguse of the US also passed him in the closing metres.
Ingebrigtsen did, however, rebound to win the Olympic 5,000m title and took another big step to redemption over the shorter distance with a dominant victory.
Slovenian Zan Rudolf set the early pace, Ingebrigtsen at the front of the pack.
Ireland's Luke McCann then took up the running and when he faded, the Norwegian accelerated to the front, Americans Hobbs Kessler and then Hocker on his coattails.
Ingebrigtsen led going through the bell for the final lap, the two Americans in his slipstream.
Hocker tried to respond at the 150m mark, but there was no catching the Norwegian.
Ingebrigtsen clocked a meet record of 3min 27.83sec for the win at the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise, with Hocker second in 3:29.85 and Kessler rounding out the podium (3:30.47).
