Ingebrigtsen: Kerr is "ruining" athletics by skipping European Championships

Jakob Ingebrigtsen, fresh from winning his seventh European title — 5,000m gold in Birmingham after 11 months out with an achilles injury — told the BBC he was "very" disappointed that Josh Kerr skipped the championships. Ingebrigtsen said he "could never" prioritise a time over a title and questioned Kerr's claim he was "flying close to the sun" of injury. Kerr broke the world mile record (3:42.66) in July.
