(Reuters) - Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke the world indoor mile record at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Lievin, France on Thursday, beating last week's mark set by American Yared Nuguse.

Nuguse ran 3:46.63 at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday, but Ingebrigtsen bettered that five days later by over a second, clocking a time of 3:45.14.
