Ingebrigtsen seals double gold with silver lining for Gourley

The world indoor championships in Nanjing this year will be remembered as a story of redemption for so many of Britain's finest athletes, but as is so often the case these days on the track it was Jakob Ingebrigtsen who wrote the script.

The Norwegian went into these championships in China with the chance to emulate the great Haile Gebrselassie by becoming only the second man to win 1500m and 3,000m gold in the same world indoor championships.

On Saturday Ingebrigtsen stormed to a 3,000m triumph and yesterday he delivered another imperious run when it mattered most. It was Ingebrigtsen's first world indoor medal above 1500m and underlined his position as one of the biggest stars of world athletics. There are not many who can match the 24-year-old athlete when the stakes are highest.

This was also a successful event for Great Britain, not least for Amber Anning who became Britain's first women's 400m world champion, in dramatic circumstances on Saturday, to quickly put aside the painful experience she endured at the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn this month and in the process securing GB's second gold of the championships.
