Norway’s mixed 4x400m relay team, composed of Karsten Warholm, Amalie Iuel, Andreas Ofstad Kulseng, and Henriette Jæger, secured a historic gold medal at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham. The team set both a Norwegian and a championship record with a time of 3:09.62, with Jæger overtaking competitors from Great Britain and the Netherlands during the anchor leg. Following the victory, the athletes refused to accept their gold medals due to an error by organizers. The medals were incorrectly engraved with the silver medal time of 3:10.47 rather than the team’s actual winning time. Karsten Warholm described the situation as ‘absurd,’ noting that the team had fought hard for their specific time. After the error was identified, organizers apologized and provided the team with new medals featuring the correct championship record time.
