Jakob Ingrebrigsten's latest world-record breaking night was fun for Cathal Doyle, who is getting more and more comfortable among the 1500m top guns
Cathal Doyle loved being in Jakob Ingebrigtsen's slipstream for his latest world record triumphs. The Dubliner's aim now is to make tomorrow night's 1500m final with the Norwegian great at the European indoors in Appeldoorn.
"It was just cool to be a part of that race," said Doyle. "They had a banner the whole way around and they're all chanting 'Jacob' and he's giving it socks to the crowd and you're like, 'if he doesn't break it here it's almost bad'. Almost making the 1500m Olympic final in Paris last August fuelled that feeling. He finished 10th in his semi-final but just faded towards the finish. What he has learned is that positioning is key in the latter stages of every race. Get that right and he has the legs to be in contention.
The 27-year-old Clonliffe Harrier has posted a PB every year and his graph is on the rise. His first European indoor experience gives him the chance to showcase that to Irish fans. "Two years ago I was checking the results, no-one was quick. But certainly in the final, if you want to be near a medal it's going to be close to my outdoor PB."
