Pierce in the first race and victory in the second.
After winning in Sollentuna, Karl Bengstrom, 22, is open to starting to believe in a World Cup buzz medal.
– He says Karsten Warholm’s injury can open up a lot.
The prime time opportunity in the 400m hurdles is gone Karl Bingstrom In Solentunavallen. But in a field with many good Europeans, he had a consistent win of 49.57.
– It was rough, a little more windy than I thought it would be. But it’s still nice to be able to adjust my stride despite the wind, it’s important. He says it’s fun to win, great fun.
Good follow-up to the press 48.52 He won the Diamond League in the World Cup in Eugene.
But the World Cup will require more. The branch is one of the most competitive at the moment and at the Olympics, the entire podium, Karsten Warholm, Ray Benjamin and Alison dos Santos, fell below the previous world record that had held since 1992.
Now, however, a crack has arisen in the supertrion. More specifically, Karsten Warholm’s right thigh and his World Cup efforts are in jeopardy.
“opens a lot”
Bengstrom admits he’s given an idea of what that might mean.
– First of all, it’s sad that he had an injury, but it opens up a lot for a bronze medal. My first goal is to get there and do my best, beat a player, and try to go to the final. Anything can happen there, it’s just checking inside as I didn’t think I’d get a medal but there (bronze in IVM in 400m).
What do you think would be required for a medal?
– It would take a little less than the Swedish record (47.98 by Sven Nylander, red note) so I have to be at my best. But nothing is impossible.
Do you think you have the potential for just under 48?
Yes, I think so, but this must also be done, says Karl Bingstrom.
