The Netherlands’ Nadine Visser took silver with a Dutch record of 7.72. This was her fourth consecutive medal at the European Indoor Championships. Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska took bronze in 7.83.
Kambundji said after the race, “I had my cry down there. Seeing my family in the crowd, celebrating with them, it’s an amazing feeling.”
Ingebrigtsen won his third consecutive European Indoor 1500m title, finishing in 3:36.56. France’s Azzedine Habz earned silver in 3:36.92, while Portugal’s Isaac Nader took bronze in 3:37.10. Ingebrigtsen will attempt to win both the 1500m and 3000m double for the third consecutive time.
