Finally – Thursday eve and XL-galan in our fine arena Globen. And it was a great evening with many really good results – and a world record to put that silver lining on top! Genzebe Dibaba had announced she was going to try and set a new wr in 5000 m and she did with flying colors! The new record, 14.18.86, was almost 6 seconds quicker than the last one! Amazing!
5 Swedes managed to qualify for the indoor European championships tonight. Our own jumper from Hammarby, Michael Tornéus, was one of them, with a nice series of jumps where the longest one measured 8.07. Great start of the season!
I had a great evening with my parents and my best friend! Life is not so bad.
