History repeated itself for Oskar Edlund. Just like in France last year, he woke up with worries when it was time to compete.
Just like then, it was about a boil.
It was an unpleasant surprise this morning, he says.
It's incredibly irritating, it's not in the legs or lungs, it doesn't affect so much but it's just an irritation that sucks energy. I've been walking around and bathing it all day.
Is it a nervousness thing?
It may very well be so. It visits at the right time for the best broadcast time.
The time 48.81 gave a seventh place in his semifinal on 400 meters hurdles. Thus, the World Championship in Japan is over for the 22-year-old.
Star Karsten Warholm, Norway, will however continue the medal hunt. He is clear for the final.
