Eugene. Perseus Karlström’s single-player team outperforms the entire Kajsa Bergqvist team.
After today’s WC bronze at 35km I’m 2-0 up in the medals.
And Perseus alone received nearly half a million kronor in prize money.
Yes, there was a new shiver here at eight o’clock local time, when Perseus Karlstrom He earned his second WC medal in just over a week.
He has a knack for looking completely exhausted and starting to let go, when he suddenly finds new strength.
Now there was a group of four infantrymen left in the last kilometers and it was just a matter of how the medals were distributed and who would be without it.
Just asking what denomination it should be
He often appeared to be the Swede, as he frowned and seemed to be the most suffering of the four.
But then Ecuador’s Brian Daniel Pintado left, and the medal was completed by three kilometers.
Then it was just a question of what denomination was.
Italy’s Massimo Stano, the Olympic champion in the 20km race, had only bet the longest distance on this water course to be as fresh as possible.
It looked strong.
Happy
was so.
When the train left, he and Japanese Masatora Kawano pulled out, leaving the Swede third.
But Perseus Karlstrom was just as pleased with the bronze he received as the first.
He made history as the first Swede to win two medals in the same pigeon.
Not found among the medals
But despite the fact that the captain of the national team Kagsa Bergqvist was there and shouted to herself in a hoarse voice, she could not count these medals in the calculation.
Anyone who goes to the Swedish Athletics Federation website and looks at Swedish WC medals through the ages, will not find any walkers among these names.
The IA Lennart Julin set for Swedish poses at the WC in Doha features Danielle Stahl as the gold medalist along with the silver Mundo Duplantis WC.
But the bronze place is vacant.
The bronze of Perseus does not count, because it still belongs to a different alliance unlike all the other countries.
It’s the Swedish Walking and Walking Federation that leads the medal league here at WC.
Yes, we just bow to this fighter, although everyone has their own opinion about the sport of walking.
It’s rare to see someone display such feelings after a race.
It was as if he was on another planet.
Happiness in its purest form.
Each is worth $22,000
In addition, I give him not only the two bronzes, but also the monetary prize that comes with him.
WC’s two bronze medals are worth $22,000 each
And with the dollar rising to just over ten Swedish krona, that’s not a small change we’re talking about.
It would be nearly half a million.
He really needs that money in the last sport you should bet on if you want to get rich.
This should make it easier when he now invests more heavily in the restroom in Budapest next summer and the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.
Then the tournament will also belong to the Swedish Athletics Federation.
Maybe lucky.
