Håkon Moe Berg, the talented runner from Kyrksæterøra, traveled to France to compete against stronger opponents, specifically aiming to improve his performance ahead of the indoor World Championships later this month. During the race, he encountered tough competition, including Isaac Nader, the gold medalist from last year's Tokyo World Championships in the 1500 meters. Berg managed to end the race with a new personal record of 3.33.96, narrowly bettering his previous indoor time by just three hundredths of a second.

Despite finishing sixth in this competitive field, Moe Berg's time demonstrates his impressive form as he prepares for the indoor World Championships scheduled to take place in Poland from March 20-22. His close finish, just a second and a half behind the leader Nader, emphasizes the potential he has as he heads into the international competition. Berg's performance not only solidifies his abilities but also showcases his readiness to take on the challenges posed by elite competitors.

Coach Ola Sakshaug has been instrumental in supporting Berg's training and development, and the promising results reflect the hard work put into their preparation. As Berg looks ahead to further competitions, this new personal record sets a positive tone for his upcoming performances, building confidence and experience as he aims for success on the world stage.
