Overwhelming victory on 1,500 metres.

And, additionally, a historic European Championship gold at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen now has the most European Championship golds on the men's side.

For the third championship in a row, Jakob Ingebrigtsen struck with a double.

Gold on 5,000 metres, gold on 1,500 metres.

Medals that make the Norwegian historic on the men's side.

He is now the athlete with the most European Championship golds.

The 23-year-old concluded the European Championship in Italian Rome with an overwhelming victory on 1,500 metres, a time of 3:31.95 was also noted as a championship record.

Belgian Jochem Vermeulen came second and home runner Pietro Arese third.

Before the final on 1,500 metres, Ingebrigtsen shared the record with Mo Farah, Great Britain, Harald Schmid, Germany, Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad, France, and Roger Black, Great Britain.
