“He is absolutely fantastic”
He won the men’s pole vault with ease – and then improved the world record.
In the Olympic magazine, experts Alhaji Jeng and Christian Olsson did not skimp on the superlatives.
– It is difficult to say anything more about that person, he is absolutely fantastic! How he picks it up time after time… Completely sick, to put it bluntly, said Christian Olsson.
– Incredibly fascinating that he does this, said Alhaji Jeng.
“It’s huge!”
The Swedish national team captain Kajsa Bergqvist was also very impressed.
– The world’s best track and field athlete is in the Swedish national team, that’s huge! He is an incredible example in how he goes into and handles situations like this, she told Max, and elaborated a little more to the news agency TT:
– It is an incredible privilege to be the world’s best athlete in all categories, but it is also an enormous pressure. He handles it so incredibly well, says Bergqvist
