This weekend, the Swede jumped farther than 6.80 metres for the first time in her career during the Diamond League meeting in Eugene, USA.
In Karlstad, it was better. 6.87 metres on her second attempt, and then 6.89 on her third.
Fantastic. At the same time, there is more to give, I am losing my footing a little. But I have nothing to complain about today, says Åskag.
The Swedish record is held by Erica Johansson at 6.99.
"Before, it was a dream. But now it can become a reality," says Maja Åskag.
