Filip Ingebrigtsen races to victory in the men's 1,500 metres at the 2016 European Championships
in Amsterdam to emulate his elder bother Henrik (third in the race) and win a major track title
for Norway. Filip is two years younger than Henrik who won the same title in 2012. A third brother Jakob
is also a runner. So slow was the winning time that the slowest qualifier (13th) from the heats was four
seconds faster than the winning time !
