You may not be able to find any of the attractive words of Yared Nuguse, but the 1500 m Bronze medalist of the Olympic explains why he is again nominated for medium long distance prizes
Yared Nuguse wants to do something simple. He is not going to suddenly throw himself to the title of title, hip creation, tension, which speaks to a large feature of men in recent years. What are you? can However, the mildly said, the American expects him to be right in 2025 for the main awards of the sport.
Instead, instead of having any resolution in every January, the Olympic 1500 m bronze medalist, which continued Olympic champion Jakob Legebrigtsen to leave the Chair of Paris.
“It helps to equalize my goals for what I usually want to do in that year,” he said. “For example, last year was a year of performance. I wanted to go and do the things I felt that I was able to do my moment and not afraid to take a risk and a little frightened. It was something I was able to behave well at the Olympics as well as in my normal life. “
This year’s theme.
“Authenticity. I have always been a man who wanted to be myself in every way that I present myself. A lot of time I can hide a little, or I’m not very expected who I really are, just because I was always nervous. But in the last few years, and especially this year I really want to focus unnoticed myself, doing the things I want to do because I can always think of me.
Who is Niglin in that case? He is a athlete who does not run to high school when one of his teachers suggested that he can be very good at it, and now he accepts “dependence.”
Still his interests away from the path. After the La Olympics, he plans to go to dental school, making another different mortality, while his end is usually drawn by reading fantasy novels, Tyro.
All this means that when, when the defy and Josh Ker, the archive rivals, which have second place, you will not find your own bars to throw his own microphone.

“People can expect some of myself, but it wouldn’t really be valid for myself,” he said. “I’m not the kind of person to just start to brag about how much I trust about the race or something like that. The personalities of some people are more like, and mine is more to keep it. Can I think of those things but I would never say those things? I am not a man of entertainment when it comes to following and field. I’m more like my stupid little self.
“I don’t pay so much attention (the trash conversation), as other people do, but I think it’s really fun and exciting to get much more interest and areas. But then Cole hindered all that was even greater than the Olympic Games. Everyone is like poetry.
“It’s fun to be a part of it and in fact not being at its center because I wouldn’t want to be again. I enjoyed seeing that everything was shocked, and I was very curious to see how it went on this year, especially with the Olympic champion this year.
The world of views is the same. Cole, of course, is, of course, Cole Hoker, another quiet American, whose closure of which saw that he passed to the world champion Ker in Stad de France.
“I was underestimated, and Cole was definitely underestimated,” says Naguce that race. “Cole beat me to the US trials (the second was the second one), so I knew he would be good, but I didn’t have a lot of racing or win at that stage before the Olympic Games.
“It simply came to our notice then. But that’s why we compete with these races. You never know what will happen. “

One of the early testimony, how to be formed this year, is going to arrive in the Millrose Millow Games in New York. He has been in the overcoming event over the past two years, but he will come to Kerry more than 3,000 m last in March last March. In second place the second, the second place was 2023. He placed his closed mile in Armenia.
Together with Ingebrigtsen and Hacker, these two form a huge quartet, which will probably have a final say, where the big prizes will be completed this year. Still with athletes, 2022 world champion Jake Wightman, with the return trail, young Dutch Niels Laros grows, and another American, Hobbs Kessler, is many.
The match with the World Cup with the World Cup in Tokyo will take place with the World Cup manangoi, Timothy Cheruiyot, Wightman and Kerr, all took the crown.
“It’s crazy, and that’s what this point of 1500 m is so funny,” says the current landscape naguce. “It is basically the best that has been for many years, and it’s just thankful to me that it is part of it.

“You don’t want to look back and like. I’m going to look back and think. “This was a 1500 m crazy time.”
“The Olympic Games were clearly more obvious how close they were four of us, and I think that every race for us will just decide who benefits. But we are all unequivocally controversial (for the title of the world) and I am definitely going to believe me on their own, especially since last year.
“It’s so much trust and just believing that you can do it. I am sure that we all think that we are going to win that, and I do not definitely differ. We are all good enough to do it, so it’s just a question of who wants it the most, and who is playing right? “
Nugline will bring confidence in the man who guides himself since 2022. He is part of Dattan Ritzenkain, who ruled not only to win global medals, but also became a US record for more than 1500 m.
“My relationship with Dathan has always been good,” says 25-year-old. “It was initially felt that he really knew what he was doing and was able to train me well without overestimating. I’m not so “hundreds of miles a week-long-running guy” so it really helps the coach understands it and really believes you that you believe in a lot of time.
“He will tell me.” Can you win this race? You just have to be sure to believe it and do it, “and it’s good to hear from someone else that I know how I’m trained and how well I’m a lot of weight. I have always evaluated the drawer. “
This year, one of the additions of Matletics Calendar will also be part of a Atletics Calendar supplementation: Grand Slam Track. He, Kerry and Hockeys are all registered to compete in four events, which they will see that everyone will regulate as 800 m and 1500 m.
The race will be a short distance from his comfort zone for his ex.

“I am very excited to see the Grand Slam goes because I feel it’s a whole new thing,” he says. “In my second year (as Pro) I thought:” Wow, you’re just doing the same things over and over again. The same race, the same people, but I think Grand Slam turns a little on his head.
“I get to compete with guys who know that they are the best and really shave my race skills against them against them, as I do with many other races. I think I’m better in 800m than I give me credit. I have a lot of confidence in 1500 m but not so much in 5000 m or 800 m, but it’s good because I know I’m fit.
“I think it is very aggressive at a distance of 800 m, and I pluged with very aggressive tribes. So maybe I finally learn to be at least a little aggressive and don’t think of the back but we’ll see. I am excited. I think I’m going to do well. It will certainly help me have a little faster and race tactic, because even though I have learned a lot, I think there is always more to learn. “
However, Nuguse opponents must mean. It has the evidence ever increasing body, it assumes that a calm man is able to make a lot of noise.
“I have been very serious moments and tribe, where I feel more confident that I come to those spaces than ever when I first joined Oac,” he said. “I think I was nervous, but now I have done a world championship, I have received an Olympic game, so I feel that nothing can really surprise me. It just grows a little older and wiser. “
