Jakob Ingebrigtsen (born 19 September 2000) is a Norwegian middle- and long-distance runner. He won the gold medal in the 1500 metres at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, setting an Olympic and European record. At the 2022 World Athletics Championships, Ingebrigtsen took silver in the event and a gold for the 5000 metres. He is a four-time European champion, winning the 1500 m/5000 m double in 2018 and 2022. His 1500 m victory in 2018 achieved at the age of 17 made him the second youngest ever individual senior European track and field champion, while his double was the first in history. Indoors, he is 2022 World Indoor Championship 1500 m silver medallist and a six-time European Indoor Championships medallist in the 1500/3000 metres events, including five golds and the 'double-double' from 2021 and 2023 (his double in 2021 was the first such ever by a male athlete). Ingebrigtsen won six successive titles at the European Cross Country Championships. He is the current world indoor record holder for the 1500 m, which he set on 17 February 2022 in Liévin, France.
As a junior, Ingebrigtsen claimed four medals altogether at the 2017 European U20 Championships and 2018 World U20 Championships. In October 2019, he was the youngest pacemaker in the successful unofficial sub-2 hour marathon attempt by Eliud Kipchoge. He holds European records in the 1500 m, 2000 m and 5000 m, which he set in August 2020, June 2020 and June 2021 respectively. As of December 2022, Ingebrigtsen was the 8th, 6th, 12th and 15th fastest man over the 1500 m, 2000 m, 3000 m and 5000 m, respectively. He also holds the distinction of being one of only two men to run a sub-3:30 1500 m, sub-7:30 3000 m and a sub-12:50 5000 m along with the 3000 m and two mile world record holder Daniel Komen. Ingebrigtsen was the 2022 Diamond League 1500 m champion.
His older brothers Henrik and Filip are also middle-distance runners who compete internationally. They were trained by their father Gjert Ingebrigtsen until 2022.
