Ingebrigtsen youngest to win European gold

Following in the footsteps of his older brothers, 17-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway became the youngest winner of the European Athletics Championships men’s 1,500 metres on Friday in Berlin. Filip, the defending champion, and Henrik, the 2012 winner, tried to make it a family sweep of the medals, but were denied silver and bronze by Poland’s Marcin Lewandowski and Britain’s Jake Wightman, respectively. Jakob won in 3 minutes, 38.10 seconds, while Henrik missed out on a medal by 0.25 seconds. Filip finished further back.
