Germany were still stuck on one gold after the 800m when Olympic champion Nils Schumann lost his European crown in front of a home crowd.

Denmark's Kenya-born world record-holder Wilson Kipketer triumphed in one minute 47.25 seconds, from last year's world champion Andre Bucher (1:47.43) - with Schumann third in 1:47.60.

Kipketer, the three-time world champion, split the field with 230m to go and then powered away down the home straight - with Bucher overhauling his German rival to take second.
