The 23-year-old Norwegian had been the heavy favourite to win gold at Paris 2024, but misjudged the race which allowed Hocker of the United States to claim top spot on the podium.

Ingebrigtsen ultimately ended that race in fourth as Great Britain's Josh Kerr and American Yared Nuguse also passed him in the closing stages of the race.
