GLASGOW - Norway enjoyed a bumper night at the European Indoor Athletics Championships on Saturday as teenager Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the 3,000 meters ahead of his bronze medal-winning brother Henrik and Karsten Warholm stormed to gold in the 400 meters.
The Ingebrigtsen brothers were denied a one-two when Britain’s Chris O’Hare pipped Jakob’s older sibling Henrik on the line to take silver in a photo finish as both clocked 7:57.19, the Norwegian throwing himself over the line in vain. Warholm, world and European champion in the 400 meters hurdles, equaled the European record as he won the two-lap event in 45.05 seconds without ever looking threatened.It was an emotional evening in the men’s high jump as former world indoor champion Gianmarco Tamberi, plagued by injuries over the last three years, won with a leap of 2.32 meters.
