Jakob Ingebrigtsen was first disqualified, then appealed, and then his appeal was approved and finalized. According to SVT sports expert Kajsa Bergqvist, the star status of Ingebrigten can be an advantage. - Maybe he is such a big star that he got through the counter-protest, says Kajsa Bergqvist.


Jakob Ingebrigtsen appealed the decision after he was dismissed from the final in the 5000 meter trial run.
