Father of Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen cleared of abusing his son

Gjert Ingebrigtsen, father of Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen, has been cleared of abuse allegations but found guilty of violence against his daughter Ingrid in a recent court ruling in Norway. The court dismissed Jakob's claims of fear and violence orchestrated by his father due to lack of evidence. Gjert received a 15-day suspended prison sentence and a fine for hitting Ingrid in the face with a towel during a 2022 incident. Jakob, a successful athlete, had previously cut coaching ties with his father.
