Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen battle for gold in the men’s 1500m final in what is one of the most eagerly-anticipated races of the Olympics.

The pair were drawn in the same semi-final and both safely booked their place in the main event, with Ingebrigtsen taking victory as both eased off towards the finish line.
