Kristoffer Ingebrigtsen, the eldest son of renowned athletics coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen, has broken his silence about a childhood marked by physical and psychological abuse.

In a detailed interview, Kristoffer recounts harrowing experiences under his father's authoritarian upbringing, including violent incidents involving his siblings.

Despite the serious allegations, legal action against Gjert is limited due to the statute of limitations.

Gjert, who denies all charges, faces ongoing investigations related to other family members.

The revelations have sparked a broader discussion on the impact of such upbringing in high-pressure sports environments.
