Nuguse, who claimed bronze in the Paris Games, outstripped Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen for the win.
AMERICAN YARED NUGUSE offered up a perfectly-timed attack to claim victory in a top-quality re-run of the Olympic final to win the men’s 1500m at the Zurich Diamond League on Thursday.
Ingebrigtsen beat Hocker in the Lausanne Diamond League, then went on to smash the 3,000m world record in Silesia, but picked up an infection which he said had hampered his preparations for Zurich.“It was worth it to come here and race. But one more week of recovery would have been better for me and given me more stimulation.”
Nuguse edged Ingebrigtsen, Hocker coming in third, a different winner only serving to continue pushing the competition in the event. Meanwhile, Ireland’s Nick Griggs finished seventh in the men’s 3000m race, the 19-year-old clocked a time of 7:43.44. Kenya’s Jacob Krop won the race in a time of 7:34.80.
But as the loser, Warholm was deigned to wear one of the Swede’s national tops in action on Thursday.
