Ingebrigtsen secures 3,000m gold while GBs Mills takes silver

Great Britain won three silvers on the final day of the European Athletics Indoor Championships to finish with seven medals.

Melissa Courtney-Bryant had to settle for second place in the womens 3,000m after being pipped on the line by Irelands Sarah Healy.

George Mills was second in the mens 3,000m behind Norways Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who took his tally of European indoor golds to a record-equalling seven with a third consecutive 1500m and 3,000m double.

GB were also runners-up in the womens 4x400m relay, meaning the squad finished eighth in the medal table with one gold, three silvers and three bronze medals in Apeldoorn.

Lina Nielsen, Hannah Kelly, Emily Newnham and Amber Anning ran a national record 3:24.89 to take silver behind hosts the Netherlands in what was the final event of the championships.

Jade ODowda narrowly missed out on a podium finish in the womens pentathlon after being edged out by Irelands Kate OConnor in the final event, the 800m.

ODowda sat third in the standings after four of the five events, having recorded personal bests in the 60m, high jump and shot put.

But OConnor surged to victory in the 800m to finish 30 points ahead of ODowda, who secured a personal best score of 4,751 points.

Scott Lincoln missed out on a podium finish by just two centimetres in the mens shot put, with Romanias Andrei Toader taking gold ahead of Swedens Wictor Petersson and the Czech Republics Tomas Stanek.
