In a remarkable display of talent, Henriette Jæger opened her indoor season in Metz, France, clocking a time of 50.62 seconds in the 400 meters, marking it as the second fastest time in the world for the year. This performance comes off the back of her impressive accolades from the past season, where she secured silver and bronze medals in the European and World Indoor Championships, respectively, and a gold medal in the U23 European Championships. Jæger's record from last season stands at 50.44 seconds, a Norwegian indoor record that continues to set the benchmark for her competitors.

Meanwhile, just ten minutes earlier in Dortmund, Håkon Moe Berg also shone by winning the 1500 meters event with a remarkable time of 3.34.02, which set a new event record. His performance not only highlights his strong competition tactics, utilizing a gap he created from the rest of the field early on, but also showcases the rapid progression of young Norwegian athletes in middle-distance events. These successes serve as a strong motivational boost for the upcoming international competitions this season.

The outstanding performances by both Jæger and Berg indicate a promising start to the athletics season for Norway, as they both continue to build on their previous experiences and performances on the international stage. With such early successes, they will be looking to maintain momentum and aim for personal bests and medal-winning finishes in future events. Their achievements contribute significantly to Norway's growing reputation in athletics, especially in track events.
