Swedish record straight away on 200 meters. In the Olympic Games semifinal, Julia Henriksson will polish the time once again. I know that I have more to give, she says.

In the European Championship in Rome, she touched Linda Haglund's 45-year-old Swedish record on 200 meters.

After the first round on the distance in the Paris Olympic Games, she is the sole record holder.

With 22.79 seconds, Julia Henriksson, 24 years old, finished third in her qualifying heat and is thus clear for Monday's semifinal.

My goal was to advance, top three, and avoid re-qualification. The time was just a bonus, she says.

My body feels good, my form is good, and I know I have more to give.

In the semifinal, however, the time will have to be improved again.

We'll have to push a little more.

Nora Lindahl, 19 years old, did not advance to the semifinal and will have to focus on running the re-qualification. This will be decided tomorrow at 12.50.

I'm disappointed with my race. It was tough, heavy to run, and there was a lot I was unaccustomed to, she says.

It was a bigger arena than I'm used to, 80,000 watching and screaming at you. And then there was the nervousness that came in.

The hammer thrower Thea Löfman reached 69.12 as her longest throw and did not advance from the qualifying round.
