Malin Hoelsveen var sterkes på 1500 meter gateløp under Runfest i Sandnes fredag. Vilde Våge Henriksen tok andreplassen, mens Wilma Anna Bekkemoen Torbiörnsson tok tredjeplassen.
– Hun er kanskje mer en 800 meter løper og hun fikk vist sluttspurtegenskapene sin her, sier NRK-ekspert Ådne Andersen om Hoelsveen.
Henriksen dro lenge på feltet før Hoelsveen rykker fra på slutten.
– Det var veldig gøy. Det var veldig lureløp så det var ingen som ville dra, og det er ikke så rart i den vinden her. Det ble en rask avslutning, så det er gøy, sier Hoelsveen til NRK etter løpet og legger til:
– Jeg fikk litt dårlig samvittighet for at hun måtte dra hele løpet, så da gikk jeg fram og dro litt. Det er greit å bytte litt på. Det er jo motvind så det er absolutt ingen fordel å ligge foran.
Senere i kveld skal Jakob og Filip Ingebrigtsen løpe samme distanse. Det kan du se på NRK 2 eller i NRK TV.
‘Rather make no trade than a bad trade’: Friedman on potential deals
Christian Parker expresses regret at play call at end of loss to Ravens
Christian Parker is a first-time defensive coordinator who was charged with fixing a unit that allowed the most points in the NFL last season. The Cowboys currently rank 30th in yards allowed and 25th in points.
It's better but not much better.
Parker has taken some heat for his decision to play man defense with seven seconds left against Lamar Jackson, who completed a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers that set up Tyler Loop's game-winning, 56-yard field goal.
Parker admitted this week he erred with the play call.
"Oh, for sure," Parker said, via Schuyler Dixon of the Associated Press. "You know, I had an original call in mind, but overthought the situation, relative to what their mindset was going to be going to overtime, trying to get something quick, Hail Mary, all those things. So, I definitely would make a different call if that the situation came up again."
Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, now an analyst for NBC Sports, called Parker's decision to play man coverage "somewhat negligent" during a halftime segment on Sunday Night Football. Tomlin said Parker should have called for zone coverage in that situation to protect against what happened.
Parker said he does not listen to "outside noise."
"To be honest with you, I don't pay it any mind," he said. "We have more than enough on our plate in here to worry about what the outside noise is, whether it's good or bad. I think that regardless of how that outside noise creeps in the building, it can affect you in multiple ways. So we've just been focusing on trying to get this next one."
