Jakob Ingebrigtsen claims third European indoor 1500m gold

Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen solidified his status as a dominant force in athletics by winning both the 1500m and 3000m events at the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, marking his sixth and seventh European indoor gold medals. In the 1500m final, he clocked a winning time of 3:36.56, effortlessly pulling ahead of the pack and securing his 22nd European gold overall. Ingebrigtsen's victories continue his streak of double golds, having achieved the same feat in previous championships. He matched the record of seven indoor golds held by Soviet-Ukrainian Valeriy Borzov, reinforcing his legacy as one of the leading athletes in the sport. In the women's 1500m, France's Agathe Guillemot triumphed, leaving Britain's Georgia Hunter Bell to finish fourth despite being a favorite. Ingebrigtsen's next challenge will be the 3000m final, where he aims to further extend his medal tally.
