Athletics EC
Grete Ahlberg on the feeling after the emotional interview: “Shameful”
Swedish record when Carl Bengtström won bronze in the 400 meter hurdles during the athletics EC
– It is improbably good, says Olsson and continues:
– It is an incredible revenge. At the EC two years ago, he suffered a small rupture and did not go to the final. Last year disappeared completely. Now he stands here as a bronze medalist and Swedish record holder.
Bengström is also praised by Warholm.
– It’s fantastic. Super awesome. We were at the same training camp in May. He is dedicated and deserves the record, he says.
