The highly anticipated men's 1500m final at the Paris 2024 Olympics features a fierce rivalry between defending champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen and world champion Josh Kerr. The two athletes have exchanged public taunts, with Ingebrigtsen claiming he could beat Kerr 'blindfolded', while Kerr criticized Ingebrigtsen's manners and reliance on 'yes men'. Their rivalry began at the 2022 World Championships when Kerr's teammate Jake Wightman defeated Ingebrigtsen, and intensified after Kerr's victory over Ingebrigtsen at the 2023 World Championships. Both athletes qualified for the final in closely contested semi-finals, setting the stage for what World Athletics president Seb Coe has called a 'race for the ages'. The final promises to be one of the most intense and hard-fought races in recent Olympic history.
