Jakob Ingebrigtsen killed himself in the first 10K trying to follow the best runners in the Copenhagen Half Marathon. He clearly should have travelled to Bratislava beforehand.

I didn't see his half-marathon attempt (saw him win the 1500m in the Brussels meet though), he said the distance was tough and is currently not suited for him and he won't try again for a few years. Makes sense, he's still young and wins at shorter distances, the marathons can wait.

PS - I guess everyone should train in Bratislava if they hope to succeed in a competition, cause I think it was Ilmaestro who was going to?
