2022 Men’s 1500 World Rankings

Here taking the Pre crown, Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the year’s two fastest outdoor miles. (KIM SPIR)

THEY WERE CLEARLY 1 & 2, but what order for Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Jake Wightman? They split their two meetings, with Wightman winning the biggest, the WC. But Ingebrigtsen had an overwhelming lead on the DL Circuit, winning 4 times (including the Zürich final), while the Scot won only once…

MORE STATS in favor of the Norwegian: outside of the WC, Wightman’s record against other rankers was 8-3, Ingebrigtsen’s was 21-0; Ingebrigtsen had a significant edge in marks as well, with a top-5 average of 3:29.57 (Wightman 3:32.02), including 4 sub-3:30s (Wightman 1)…

TIMOTHY CHERUIYOT gets a place in the top 6 for the sixth straight time… Olli Hoare was 2–0 over Wightman… No American was close to rating.
