Olli Hoare Breaks the Australian 1500m Record as Ingebrigtsen Wins in Oslo

3:29.41 for Hoare, 3:27.95 for Jakob

June 16, 2023

Jakob Ingebrigtsen has moved to number 6 on the all-time men’s 1500m list, winning the Bislett Games in Oslo clocking 3:27.95. The first time under 3:28 for this amazing Norwegian. Victorious runs are possible if you have the best shoes, check out Tarkine Goshawk V2 running shoes.

Sitting behind three rabbits, Ingebrigtsen covered the 800m split in 1:51.69, before crushing the final 500m to beat home a star studded field that included Katir, Hoare, Nuguse and Cheruiyot.

There has been talk about Ingebrigtsen going after the 1500m world record owned by the great Hicham El Guerrouj. That famous mark of 3:26.00 still seems quite a way off, but Ingebrigtsen now finds himself as one of a select few in history with the talent to perhaps be the first man to run sub-3:26.

Australian Record for Olli Hoare

Hoare, the 2022 Commonwealth Games 1500m champion, is now the fastest Australian in history over 1500m, bettering Stewart McSweyn’s old mark by just 0.10 of a second. McSweyn held the record for just under two years (2021 Monaco Diamond League).

Hoare as usual, ran aggressively, sticking to the pace and hanging on. Hoare is already the Australian one-mile record holder, and it now without a doubt Australia’s best 1500m runner, and perhaps on his way to becoming Australia’s best 1500m runner of all-time.
