Jakob Ingebrigtsen has smashed the indoor world records for both the mile and 1500m in a race at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in France.

The 24-year-old Norwegian finished the mile in a time of three minutes 45.14 seconds at the Arena Stade Couvert in Lievin.

That saw the reigning Olympic 5,000m champion beat the time of 3:46.63 run by American Yared Nuguse at the Millrose Games in New York last Saturday.

Ingebrigtsen also broke the indoor 1500m record he set on the same track three years ago, clocking 3:29.63 and then holding on for the final half-lap to add the mile record.
