BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Jakob Ingebrigtsen secured his fourth consecutive 5,000-meters title at the European championships on Monday, demonstrating his return to form after recovering from surgery. The two-time Olympic champion from Norway, who hadn't raced since early this year due to scar tissue on his left Achilles tendon, surged past Florian Bremm of Germany in the final 50 meters, crossing the finish line in 13 minutes, 15:29 seconds. Bremm came in second, followed by France’s Etienne Daguinos in third.
