Los Angeles World Championships: Medal decisions – Ingebrigtsen leaves 5000m gold cold – Bol’s Crazy Sprint – Sports

Men’s 5000m: European duel on “Not Proud” Ingebrigtsen

The old world champion is also the new champion. But Jakob Ingebrigtsen made it exciting on Sunday at the IAAF World Championships in Budapest. In the internal European confrontation, the Norwegian Muhammad Qutair did not exceed except in the last meters, and in 13:11.30 minutes, he surpassed the Spaniard by 14 hundredths of a second. The bronze went to Kenyan Jacob Krupp. For Ingebrigtsen, this is a repeat of events: as in Eugene a year earlier, he had to settle for silver in the 1,500 metres. The world champion did not feel particularly euphoric: “It’s not always about winning, it’s about showing how good you are. It wasn’t my best, so I’m not proud of it.”

Women’s 4 x 400m: Crazy Pool

In the mixed relay, Phimky Paul fell in the last few metres, getting more consolation than gold. And now the Dutch woman has been able to rehabilitate – and how. In a great final sprint, she outlasted the finalists from Great Britain and Jamaica and took the world title to the Netherlands in the best time of the year (3:20.72 minutes).

In the men’s category, the American quad was in a class of its own with a world best time of 2:57.31 minutes. The United States beat France and Great Britain.

Spur Men: Chopra cheers and stamps a German zero

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra can now call himself world champion – and with it a little bit of Switzerland. The Indian, who is training in Maglingen, threw the javelin unbeaten 88.17m, beating Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem (87.82) and Czech Olympic silver medalist Jakob Vadelic (86.67). And because Julian Weber had to settle for fourth place, Germany leaves for the first time without winning a single World Cup medal.

Two years later, Britain’s Kelly Hodgkinson finally managed to oust arch-rival Athing Mo. This is still not enough gold. Because at the top, the fast Mary Mora pulled out. The Kenyan set a personal best of 1:56.03 minutes and celebrated her victory by jumping across the finish line with joy.

Women’s high jump: first gold for Ukraine

European champion Yaroslava Mahucic celebrated Ukraine’s maiden title in Budapest as the new world champion.

The latter is training in Switzerland and says excitedly: “This is my second home now. Whatever I want, I get.”
