The sixth and penultimate day of the 2018 European Athletic Championships concluded with spectacular results that included Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s stunning gold in the 5000m to complement his 1500m win. Check out the highlights below!

After Winning 1500m, Jakob Ingebrigtsen Earns Gold Again In 5000m

In jaw-dropping fashion, the 17-year-old dispatched yet another stout field of pros today, including his eldest brother, to complete his mission for double gold in the 1500m and 5000m. In doing so, he became the first athlete in history to win both events at the same European Athletic Championships, and he reset the European U20 record in 13:17.06—a significant PR, and the fastest European time this season—with a 54-second final lap. With years left to compete as a U20 athlete, it’s tough to estimate how many more times Jakob Ingebrigtsen will continue his onslaught of the record books.

Although the brothers failed to land more than one Ingebrigtsen on the podium in the 1500m, where they all made the final, Henrik ran a solid race to finish runner-up in 13:18.75. Filip, the 25-year-old brother, pulled out of the race after sustaining a back injury during the 1500m. France’s Morhad Amdouni, who won the 10,000m title earlier this week, followed up in third with 13:19.14—although he said he was surprised he performed so well, since he went out partying the night after his win:

“… My recuperation was not the most professional, because I partied a lot after my 10K medal. I really wanted to savor it. One more medal! I am very pleased. I doubled on the podium in the long distances! I guess Jakob is unbeatable at the moment; he finished two whole seconds before me. He was much stronger... I just did not recover well enough from the 10K. But at the next Europeans in Paris, I will have my home crowd.”

Final Result

1    Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Norway    13:17.06    EU20R

2    Henrik Ingebrigtsen, Norway    13:18.75    

3    Morhad Amdouni, France    13:19.14    SB

Dina Asher-Smith’s Breakthrough Continues With 200m Title, World Lead

Dina Asher-Smith is on another level. Days after breaking the British 100m record and establishing a new world lead of 10.85 en route to winning the title, she followed up with a complementary gold in the 200m, British record, and world lead of 21.89. Prior to today’s performance, she hadn’t gone sub-22 before.

Asher-Smith’s domination of the short sprints upset reigning world champion Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands, who finished runner-up in 22.14—a season’s best. Her countrywoman, Jamile Samuel, took third in 22.37, which tied her PR.

Adam Kszczot Earns Third Consecutive 800m Gold

Headlined by reigning world outdoor champion Pierre-Ambroise Bosse of France and the 2018 world indoor champion and reliable championship competitor Adam Kszczot of Poland, this final had the trappings of a wild finish, but one that favored Kszczot. Bosse hasn’t raced much this season, and although he did his best to try and bury Kszczot in the middle of the race by surging to the front at 400m to clock a 53.16-second opening lap, he couldn’t hold on long enough to fend off the Pole. Per usual, Kszczot made his move at 200m, and there wasn’t enough daylight between them to maintain the lead. Bosse was also overtaken by Andreas Kramer of Sweden, who ran 1:45.03 for second. 

Kszczot not only repeated as European champion with his 1:44.59 win, but also became the first man to win three titles in a row in the event. He split 53.57 and 51.02 over the two laps.

“I was really nervous before the start, so I am so glad managed this final today and defended the title,” Kszczot said. “I did something what nobody else did before: I won three titles in a row, and I feel so emotional to make this history. To win this title was four times harder than the one in 2014. Always, it is getting harder and harder. The guys are so strong, and I knew it was going to be hard. It is a very special moment in my career too. We also saw already two golds for Poland tonight, and I hope it is not all. The 800m is a special event where it is hard to stay injury free. I have also had some pain in my Achilles tendon the last two months. I wanted to push the race a bit because it was a bit too slow, but I felt Bosse behind my back. Physically, it was not as difficult as mentally. You have to spare some energy for the finish. It was just the technique, technique, technique, to hit it and to keep the pace. I am glad I managed it tonight.”

Final Result

1    Adam Kszczot, Poland    1:44.59

2    Andreas Kramer, Sweden    1:45.03

3    Pierre Ambroise-Bosse, France    1:45.30

Polish Women Dominate The 400m, 4x400m Relay

Although she entered the meet as the fourth-fastest European this season with a time of 51.05, Justyna Swiety-Ersetic of Poland delivered a new European lead of 50.41 in the final to claim victory over Maria Belibasaki of Greece (50.45, a national record) and Lisanne de Witte of the Netherlands (50.77, a national record). 

Swiety-Ersetic's time is the second-fastest mark in Polish history, and the first European gold in the 400m for a Polish woman. After witnessing the outcome of the women's 4x400m relay, it certainly won't be the last time. 

90 minutes later, with Swiety-Ersetic on the anchor leg, the Polish relay team crushed the final in 3:26.59 with splits of 52.3, 51.3, 51.25, and 51.71 to finish almost a second ahead of the French runner-up squad.

Poland won three gold medals at the European Championships in Berlin tonight with two of them going to Justyna Swiety-Ersetic!

Less than two hours after winning the individual 400m, Swiety-Ersetic anchored Poland to the 4x400m title in 3:26.59.#EC2018 #TheMoment pic.twitter.com/1GIRTXvSY8

The Borlees Lead Belgian Tornadoes To 4x400m Gold

After taking second and third in the open 400m, Kevin and Jonathan Borlee joined forces with their other brother, Dylan, and Jonathan Sacoor to claim another medal for Belgium—this time, gold. 

Dylan led off in 46.1, then handed off to his brother Jonathan, who ran 44.7. The other Jonathan, the only non-Borlee in the relay, ran a matching split, and then Kevin turned in a phenomenal 43.91 on the anchor. 

Fun fact: the Borlees and the Ingebrigtsens will leave the European Championships with eight medals in total!
