Jake Wightman stuns 1500m field to claim world title as dad commentates – video

It isn't often someone has the privilege of winning a 1500m World Championship, and it's quite another when your father is responsible for the announcement. As Jake Wightman narrowly made it across the finish line ahead of Jakob Ingebrigtsen, footage showed his father Geoff in commentary box holding back his feelings just long enough to share the result before he fell back into his chair and sank his head into his arms. 'It's going to be close,' Geoff said in the clip, 'but Jake Wightman wins gold!'
