Mitja Krevs (born 26 July 1989) is a Slovenian middle-distance runner. [2] He competed in the 1500 metres event at the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships.
Middle-distance running events are track races longer than sprints, up to 3000 metres. The standard middle distances are the 800 metres, 1500 metres and mile run, although the 3000 metres may also be classified as a middle-distance event. The 1500 m came about as a result of running 3 3⁄4 laps of a 400 m outdoor track or 7 1⁄2 laps of a 200 m indoor track, which were commonplace in continental Europe in the 20th century.
The men's 1500 metres at the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on 7–8 March 2014.
Krevs made his major international debut in the men's 1500 metres at the 2011 Summer Universiade, where he bowed out of the first round with a time of 3:55.34. Two years later, Krevs ran ten seconds faster at the 2013 Universiade in the 1500 metre, although still did not make it out of the first round due to extraordinary competition in the second heat. At the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships, Krevs set a Slovenian record in the indoor 1500 metres, running 3:43.22.
The men's 1500 metres event at the 2011 Summer Universiade was held on 16–18 August.
The men's 1500 metres event at the 2013 Summer Universiade was held on 7–9 July.
