Mondo Duplantis was shocked by the loss of the pole vault.
Then Andreas Algren saved this evening’s track and field with a world time of 5000 metres.
Ready for the restroom in Budapest next summer.
And what should not happen there?
I already wrote after the fourth place in the EC in Munich that Andreas Magyar He could be our next global star.
Not based on what he did there at the Olympic Stadium, but based on how much development he still had.
This could be the start of a second career for the 27-year-old, who has been so afflicted with injury and illness that he could publish an entire medical book on the subject.
Since completing at the age of 19 with a Swedish record and a JVM bronze in the 800m in 2014, his career has been marred by constant setbacks.
At the same time, distances are getting longer and longer.
Now it looks like he’s found his home.
When he won the Finnkampen Championship at Stockholm Stadium last summer, the usually cautious A Lennart Julin spoke of times down to 13 minutes into the near future.
After all, he is not an expert on this topic.
Now he was right even if the season started as usual for Muqrin.
With sickness, small feelings and the abolition of the inner toilet in Belgrade.
When he came to Munich for the European Championships, I kept my fingers crossed that he wouldn’t stumble in the shower or that someone would sneeze on him right before the competition.
He did it this time and it should be seen as a good omen.
He immediately set his sights on breaking the Swedish record before the end of the summer.
Now he’s there and says without blinking that he can run under his dream limit of 13 minutes so far with the right race.
I have no reason to doubt.
There are only three Swedish records left
Anders Gärderud’s record in Sweden held for 46 years, but when it was broken, it was completely broken.
Gärderud who set his Swedish record at Stockholm Stadium on July 5, 1976, as preparation for the Olympics in Montreal that summer and the special distance 3000 hurdles.
There he also won a historic gold medal at the Olympic Games.
To get some perspective on the time gone by, that was the same year that King Carl XV lived! Gustav married Sylvia Sommerlath at Storkyrkan in Stockholm, Bjorn Borg won his first Wimbledon final, and Ulf Lundell published his successful book Jack.
Now there are only three Swedish records left from the 1970s.
The oldest is 3:02.57 men’s in the 4x400m race set by Erik Karlgren, Anders Wager, Kenneth Uhmann and Ulf Rohner when they finished seventh in the Olympic final in Munich in 1972.
She is celebrating her fiftieth anniversary.
The second oldest is Hans “Hosta” Höglund at 21.33 in a shot from 1975.
Linda Haglund holds the record in the 1970s with 22.82 meters in the 200 meters of 1979.
Mondo’s got a bowl of soup
Mondo loses a penis contest for the first time in over a year.
After twenty straight wins, a WC indoor gold, a WC outdoor gold, an EC gold and three world records, he’s also proven to be a human in 2022.
However, I have to admit that it came as a shock.
It was like he got Spatorsk on the field there in Brussels and it wasn’t at all the same neat jumping as we are used to.
And there was a common denominator when they last lost in Lausanne last summer.
Neither father Greg nor mother Helena was there to help him with training.
Perhaps this help and guidance should not be underestimated.
