Norwegian runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen won gold in the 5000-meter run on Monday, August 10 at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham. In the final he triumphed with a time of 13:15.29 min and won the continental championship on this distance for the fourth time in a row. sport.sk ↗
The victory came after a prolonged competitive break. According to available information, Ingebrigtsen had not competed for eleven months, most recently since the World Championships in Tokyo, and underwent Achilles tendon surgery in February. His return to the top thus culminated after a period that was described as his most difficult. BBC News ↗
For the Norwegian, it was also his seventh gold medal from the European Championships. In Birmingham he confirmed his streak at continental championships and remained undefeated over 5000 meters. His performance in the final stages of the race was decided only after a dramatic finish. hnonline.sk ↗
Silver was won by German runner Florian Bremm, who was one of the surprises of the final. After a significant acceleration in the final lap, he moved into the lead, but Ingebrigtsen overtook him on the home stretch. After the race, Bremm described the result as a success he had long been unable to imagine. El Pais ↗
The result in Birmingham strengthened Ingebrigtsen's position among the most successful European distance runners. After surgery and a break, the further development of his season will be followed especially with regard to whether he can build on his return in other major competitions as well.
