Ingebrigtsen and Asher-Smith complete doubles, first golf gold for Iceland

Berlin, August 12: Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Dina Asher-Smith pulled off famous track doubles, while Iceland won the first golf gold medals on a historic penultimate day of the European Championships.

Ingebrigtsen became the youngest athlete to win a track title at the European Championships when he struck 1500 metres gold on Friday (August 10).

The 17-year-old Norwegian was at it again the following day in Berlin, taking the 5000m title ahead of his brother Henrik in a time of 13 minutes, 17.06 seconds.

Ingebrigtsen is the first man to win both the 1500m and 5000m at the same European Championships and there will surely be many more honours to come from the remarkable teenager.

Asher-Smith added the 200m title to her 100m gold, clocking a world-leading 21.89secs to ensure she has smashed the British record over both distances, with Dutch duo Dafne Schippers - the Olympic silver medallist and two-time world champion - and Jamile Samuel taking silver and bronze respectively.

It was also a family affair in the men's 4x400m final, brothers Dylan, Jonathan and Kevin Borlee topping the podium along with Jonathan Sacoor for Belgium.

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