Ingebretson earns seventh gold
Norwegian runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the gold medal in the 5,000 meters race at the 2026 European Championships held in Birmingham, finishing with a time of 13 minutes and 15.29 seconds. With this result, he maintained his position as the most successful European athlete in history, boasting seven individual gold medals in continental championships. His consecutive victories have continued since 2018 despite an injury that kept him out of competitions this season. Ingebrigtsen secured the win after more than six months away from the track, having suffered an Achilles tendon injury that required surgery. He returned strongly to reaffirm his dominance in European races over the years, remaining undefeated at the top of the standings since 2018.
