# 2021 European Athletics Indoor Championships – Men's 1500 metres

Ingebrigtsen was initially disqualified for stepping out of the lane. Subsequently, the jury accepted the Norwegian team's appeal, as Ingebrigtsen had been forced to foul because he was closed by the two Polish, but had not gained any advantage from this.
