The Supreme Committee in Athletics ended with great fanfare, as Khadi Sanya lost the long-distance final.
19-year-old Maja Åskag won with a jump of 6.73 and snagged the sixth-place World Cup from Gothenburg.
Khadi has not lost in a cross-country final since taking her first gold medal at the World Cup in 2015.
Since then, she has won everything, except for 2019 when she was not due to a cruciate ligament injury.
My cheek again had trouble with the plank strikes, stopping at 6.57.
Fantastic winner Maja Lightning She’s still only 19 years old and made a big breakthrough last summer when she won two golds in the length and triple jump in both the JEM and JVM.
This led to her being named Newcomer of the Year at the Sports Gala.
This year has been a little slower – so far.
Maja jumped 6.60 when she won gold in the JVM in Nairobi last summer and is still standing as personal records, as the tailwind was so strong in Norrköping. Even when I jumped 6.65 in the third round, that jump was also enough to win.
Maja is also eligible for the European Commission in Munich, but not in length but in three steps.

The long-awaited return in the men’s 5,000m:
Injury-stricken Andreas Magyar made his first outdoor competition of the season.
Now he won a slow sprint with an impressively long sprint on the last lap where no one could keep up with the race, even if runner-up Emil Danielson made an attempt.
It will be interesting to see what Almgren can do at EC in Munich, which starts in just over a week.
After all, he opened the season with a Swedish record for 3,000m indoors with a time of 7:34.31 before disappearing.
– But I’ve been training really well since the beginning of June and I’ve had some really good courses. I’m clearly better than last summer, Magn says to SFVT.
He is promising, as he set a personal record with 13:29.26 at Finncamp last year, in a race rumored to be much faster.

There was as good a wind in the women’s discus as it was in the men’s discus, with Simon Peterson and Daniel Stahl both throwing over 70 meters on Saturday.
Now Vanessa Kamja has won a personal record throw of 60.33.
Her best result in over two years.
