Almgren breaks European record

A year ago, Andreas Almgren set a Swedish record for ten kilometers in Valencia.

Now the Swede has done it again.

The 29-year-old ran the road race in Spain in a time of 26.52 minutes, beating that previously in 27:04. Almgren is thus the first European under 27 minutes in the mile.

– I had some good training before so I knew I was in good shape. I’m just so happy, says Almgren in the victory interview, reports SVT.
