Diamond League

A day with mixed feelings. A lazy morning at home and after lunch we went to the hospital to check in our oldest for his surgery tomorrow.

When he was settled in I left to attend the diamond league event together with my parents at Stockholms Stadium. My husband stayed on for a couple of more hours with him before visiting hours were over.

The competitions were great with 4 (or 5) new Stadium records – Juan Miguel Echevarría jumped magical 8.83 in long jump but with too much wind (2.1 – 0.1 over the limit) which deprived him for receiving a diamond since it wasn’t an approved record. And Duplantis won his first diamond league title! What a guy! A pole jumper with a bright future ahead!

Fingers crossed for my son tomorrow. And maybe say a prayer or two.
