– He disappears from the rest of Europe. The king of European middle-distance running does it again, shouted news’s commentator Jann Post. Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen was unstoppable in the Italian capital. First he won EC gold in the 5000 meters on Saturday, and tonight the double was secured with victory in the 1500 meters tonight. It also makes him the male EC athlete of all time. And that at the age of just 23. Watch the race here: The Norwegian has run six EC finals in his career and won them all. No other man has six golds throughout the championship’s 90-year history. – The best male EC athlete ever at the age of 23. You have to look for a more unique runner for a long time and he makes it so easy, so easy, so easy, says Post. The winning time for 1500 meters was 31.31.95. It is a championship record. Watch the race here: On the women’s side, Sandra Elkasevic Perkovic (33) has seven golds in the discus. She won for the first time in Barcelona in 2010 and has gone to the top every time since, including in this year’s EC. NORWEGIAN JUBILEE: Jakob Ingebrigtsen after his victory in the 1500 metres.

In the semi-final, several runners fell to the ground, but afterwards the jury decided that all should be allowed to continue. Ingebrigtsen wanted to avoid further falls in a tightly packed field, and placed himself at the very back from the start. – He is so strong that he can choose to do it this way, said news’s expert Vebjørn Rodal. The superstar then slowly but surely worked his way to the top when 500 meters had been passed. Ingebrigtsen remained there until the race was over. No one could keep up with Ingebrigtsen on the run, who played his way to victory. – He makes it look like a circuit championship, says Post. FINISH: Here the gold is secured. Photo: NTB – It is so natural for him to choose the wise and safe choices. And then he has full control over his arsenal. He knows exactly what he has to go with at all times. And use the weapons correctly. Gradually higher and higher speed, comes the praise from expert Vebjørn Rodal. Ingebrigtsen’s gold also ensured Norway’s best ever EC. In Helsinki in 1994, the Norwegian team took three gold, two silver and one bronze. Norway stood with exactly the same medal haul before Wednesday’s 1500 metres, but now has one gold more than 30 years ago. – It is a great end to a very good championship for us. It is clear that the last medal was in a way expected, but Jakob delivers once again. He has become a legend, says sports manager Erlend Slokvik to news. Shocked the world Jakob Ingebrigtsen had his big international breakthrough at the age of 17. It happened in the EC, which in 2018 was held in Berlin. Both in Norwegian and international athletics, the youngest of the running brothers Ingebrigtsen was a well-known name before the EC this year. It was nevertheless difficult not to be surprised and impressed by his achievements in the German capital. First, the gold in the favorite distance 1500 meters was secured. The following evening, the double was brought home to Sandnes with a sensational gold in the 5000 metres. DOUBLE: Big brother Henrik took the silver behind Jakob in the 5,000 meters in 2018.

By then, Ingebrigtsen had managed to become Olympic champion, and anything other than gold would almost have been a failure. The running star did not disappoint, and the second EC double of his life was secured.
