Norwegian athlete Jakob Ingebrigtsen clinched gold in the men's 5,000 meters at the Paris Olympics, finishing with a time of 13:13.66, nearly two seconds ahead of silver medalist Ronald Kwemoi from Kenya (13:15.04). This victory marked a significant comeback for Ingebrigtsen after his unexpected fourth-place finish in the 1,500 meters earlier in the Games. U.S. runner Grant Fisher rounded out the podium with a bronze, also securing a bronze in the 10,000 meters earlier in the competition. Ingebrigtsen’s tactical pacing allowed him to pull away in the final stretch, showcasing his dominance in distance running. The race, which featured a field of 22 runners, concluded without incident following a series of chaotic practice heats. Ingebrigtsen's performance solidified his status as a leading figure in Olympic athletics, having previously won gold in the 1,500 meters at the Tokyo Games.
