Melwin Lycke Holm took gold in high jump at the ongoing Swedish Championship in athletics in Karlstad. Afterward, however, he was mostly disappointed.

I'm extremely grateful and happy that I made it over, says Lycke Holm to SVT after his gold jump on 2.14.

But I feel that I have so much more in me, he continues.

In connection with the gold jump, Lycke Holm grabbed his leg. An injury?

I got such a sick cramp in my right calf, says the 20-year-old.

The idea was that Lycke Holm would double during the SM and also compete in long jump, something that the injury sensation puts a stop to.

I will not watch the long jump final so much, right now I'm mostly bitter because I cannot be there, he says to SVT.
