Lisbon, Dec 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Dec, 2019 ) :Turkey's Yasemin Can claimed a fourth consecutive European women's cross-country title on Sunday as fellow Kenyan-born teammate Aras Kaya was surprised by Sweden's Robel Fsiha in the men's event.
Can claimed gold ahead of Norway's Karoline Grovdal, with Eritrea-born Swede Samrawit Mengsteab rounding out the podium.
Fsiha, also born in Eritrea, upset Kaya for victory, with Italy's Ethiopian-born Yemaneberhan Crippa taking bronze.
Norwegian prodigy Jakob Ingebrigtsen won a fourth title in the under-20 category.
"It was a fun race," said Ingebrigtsen. "It looked like it was going to be a difficult race, but after the first lap you already know who's bringing it and who's not.
"I'm already looking forward to racing in the future... After a couple of years you feel like you've been there and done it all but now I'm looking forward to not being in the junior (under-20) category anymore."
