Moving into the last lap, Ingebrijtsen managed to increase the pace, and the gap widened, but in the last corner Kerr managed to run towards the Norwegian, so he advanced next to him at the finish line and ran alongside him, and in the last lap he managed to advance in front of him in the last 20 meters, and he was no longer his competitor, who He seemed visibly angry, capable of innovation. The bronze medalist was won by Narvi Gilgi Nordas, also from Norway, with gorgeous hair.
