Jakob Ingebrigtsen described living with “no free will” during a violent childhood as he testified against his father and former coach Gjert at a trial on Tuesday.
Gjert Ingebrigtsen denies physically abusing two of his children, one of whom is double Olympic champion Jakob. The younger sibling cannot be named for legal reasons. The 59-year-old Gjert faces up to six years in prison, with the trial due to run until 16 May in Sandnes, Norway.
