During the hearing on Tuesday Jakob, who won 1500m gold at Tokyo 2020 and 5,000m gold at Paris 2024, detailed a series of incidents of alleged abuse.<\/p>\n
He said as a schoolboy he could not go to parties and how, as a teenager, he was made to train two or three times a day.<\/p>\n
Jakob also described several incidents when he said he had been assaulted by his father.<\/p>\n
It is alleged Gjert struck Jakob several times after he received a negative report about his behaviour from school when he was aged eight.<\/p>\n
He also said that in 2008, when Jakob was around eight years old, his father hit him in the face because he was late for a race. He described another incident a year later when he says his father kicked him in the stomach after he fell off a scooter. <\/p>\n
He described another alleged incident in 2016 at a junior championships when his father threatened him and another episode around the same time when Gjert was said to have thrown his games console out of the window. <\/p>\n
Gjert is expected to give evidence to the court next week. Speaking after Tuesday’s hearing, his lawyer, John Christian Elden, told NRK that Gjert had a “different perception of reality”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
