NORWAY’S SUPERSTAR JAKOB Ingebrigtsen made history today, becoming the first male athlete to complete a 1500m/3000m double at the European indoor championships.
Having controlled the early pace, the 20-year-old then changed the direction of the race with 800 metres remaining, posting back-to-back 28-second laps to burn off his challengers.
One of those was Sean Tobin, the Irishman running in his first European final, who had come into this race with a personal best in qualification.

Sarah Lavin and Sean Tobin have set lifetime bests on day two of the European Indoor Athletics Championships in Poland, with both promising potentially more to come in Torun.
Clonmel AC and Dublin Track Club star Tobin clocked a new mark of 7 minutes, 47.71 seconds in coming fifth in his 3000m semi-final, only being a second off winner Andrew Butchart of Britain (7:46.46) in a blanket finish.
Tobin had stayed close to the front throughout, looking very comfortable around fifth place and was never out of touch with the lead, with the first three qualifying automatically for tomorrow’s final, along with the next three fastest losers.
