Finnkampen – day 1

Back again. On a track&field event. At the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. Finnkampen. Me and my parents had a great afternoon/evening cheering on our Swedish competitors. A sunny day but quite chilly towards the end – glad I had packed lots of warm clothes to add one piece whenever I needed to. 

A lot of good results especially in the running events. Almgren managed to break the 49 year old Finnkampen record on 5000m from 1972 so that was pretty special. 

Results after the first day:
Men Sweden 125 – Finland 101
Women Sweden 113 – Finland 91
