Thanks to the acceleration at the end, Ingebritsen won the longest indoor race in a personal record of 7: 48.20. In the triple, he defended the title from the previous year’s HME in Glasgow, where he was not enough for the Pole Marcin Lewandowski on the 15th. He beat him this year.
Swedish favorite Armand Duplantis won the pole vault in the championship record of 605 centimeters, and then attacked the world record of 619 centimeters in vain. The injured Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie was represented by his brother Valentin, who finished second in the balanced personal record of 580 centimeters. At the age of 29, he rejoiced in the first grand medal.

The eight-place winner was won by the Pole Patryk Dobek, whose specialization so far was 400 meters of obstacles. The last time he ran in this indoor season was twelve years ago. In a strong domestic competition, he dominated the national championship and today, thanks to a personal record of 1: 46.81, he also triumphed at the HME.
The youngest indoor champion in Europe at 800 meters was the British Keely Hodgkinson, who celebrated her nineteenth birthday four days ago. Still a junior in the competition of more experienced competitors, she confirmed the role of the leading woman in the European tables and won in 2: 03.88.
The best multi-champion of today, Kévin Mayer, has returned to the indoor European throne in heptathlon. The 29-year-old Frenchman collected 6392 points, which is 87 points behind his European record from HME 2017 in Belgrade. The Spanish defending champion Jorge Ureña won silver this time (6158), the bronze remained in Poland thanks to the personal record of Paweł Wiesiolek (6133).
The title of 60 meters hurdles was defended by the Dutchman Nadine Visserová in the best world time of this year, 7.77 seconds. She won in front of the British sisters Cindy Sember (7.89) and Tiffany Porter (7.92). Thirty-three-year-old Porter ran for the medal.
