Jakob Ingebrigtsen finished fourth in the men's 1500m Diamond League final in Brussels, where Australia's Cameron Myers won. After the race, Ingebrigtsen criticized his competitors, calling them "a bunch of cowards" due to race tactics involving pacemakers, particularly targeting American Cole Hocker's team. He later apologized for his language but maintained his criticism of the tactics, emphasizing the importance of honoring commitments to organizers and spectators. Ingebrigtsen is still recovering from Achilles surgery earlier this year.
