TOKYO :Sifan Hassan won the 10,000m for a brilliant distance double, Jakob Ingebrigtsen took the 1,500m in style and javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra secured instant national icon status by winning India's first-ever athletics gold on a pulsating final night of Olympic action on Saturday.

Chopra's first throw put him in front and his second of 87.58 stretched the lead and was too much for all challengers, as Czech duo Jakub Vadlejch and Vitezslav Vesely took the minor medals. "It's easy to forget all of the hours on treadmills. Racing is the easy part and also the fun part, said the Norwegian, who has two brothers who are also elite runners."It's not only my gold medal, it's my whole family. If it wasn't for everybody around me, I wouldn't be able to be here and I definitely wouldn't be a runner."

"I was thinking about yesterday the whole race, and I've never gone deep like I did today," Hassan said.
