Jakob Ingebrigtsen's father, Gjert Ingebrigtsen, was convicted of one count of minor assault against his daughter.
The conviction was handed down by the Soer Rogaland District Court in Norway.
What happened?
Gjert Ingebrigtsen, 59, was accused of an alleged years-long campaign of domestic abuse toward Jakob and his younger sister, Ingrid.
He denied the charges against him, but was given a 15-day suspended sentence and ordered to pay NOK 10,000 ($1,010) in compensation.
The court acquitted Gjert of other charges, including abusing Jakob, a multiple Olympic and world middle-distance champion.
Why it matters for Jakob Ingebrigtsen
The trial has gripped Norway, with many following the case closely due to Gjert's prominence as a coach and his involvement in the TV documentary series Team Ingebrigtsen.
The series, which ran from 2016 to 2021, featured Gjert coaching his three track-and-field sons, Jakob, Filip, and Henrik.
What comes next?
Gjert continued coaching after the split with his sons and now guides Jakob's 1500-meter Norwegian rival, Narve Gilje Nordas.
Jakob, 24, won Olympic gold in the 1,500 meters at the Tokyo Games in 2021 and the 5,000 at the Paris Games in 2024.
He was world champion at the 5,000 in 2022 and 2023, and listed his achievements on Instagram soon after the verdict was announced.
The post highlighted his goal of being a good father to his daughter, Filippa, and ensuring she loves and respects him for her upbringing.
Gjert's defense attorneys, John Christian Elden and Heidi Reisvang, stated that the court concluded there was no evidence to show Gjert created a continuous fear in his children.
Reisvang said there are no winners in the case, and Gjert hopes to have contact and a relationship with his family again.
The police opened an investigation into Gjert's treatment of Jakob and Ingrid in 2022, after the trio parted ways with their coach-father.
The following year, Jakob, Filip, and Henrik co-signed a column in the national newspaper, VG, accusing Gjert of physical violence and intimidation.
"He hopes that one day he will have contact and a relationship with his family again," Reisvang told the AP.
Gjert's coaching career has continued despite the split with his sons, with Narve Gilje Nordas now under his guidance.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen's achievements on the track include Olympic gold in the 1,500 meters at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
He also won Olympic gold in the 5,000 meters at the Paris Games in 2024, and was world champion at the 5,000 in 2022 and 2023.
The verdict in the case was delivered in writing by the Soer Rogaland District Court, with Gjert's legal team confirming the conviction.
"There are no winners in this case," said Reisvang, who was assisting counsel during the trial.
Gjert's suspended sentence and compensation order reflect the court's decision on the minor assault charge.
The case has been closely followed in Norway, with many interested in the outcome due to Gjert's prominence as a coach and media figure.
"He hopes that one day he will have contact and a relationship with his family again," said Reisvang.
The trial started in March and has been a significant news story in Norway, with the verdict now delivered.
Gjert Ingebrigtsen's conviction and acquittal of other charges mark the end of the trial, but the impact on Jakob Ingebrigtsen's family and career may be longer-lasting.
"There are no winners in this case," Reisvang told the AP, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
