Ekman cleared 1.90 meters. She then cleared 1.94 twice, and on her third attempt at the next height she set a new outdoor personal best.

"I felt during the competition that I was finally starting to find my way back to the feeling I had during the indoor season, which I am very happy about," says Ekman on the Swedish Athletics website.

The 29-year-old has been selected for the European Championships in Birmingham in August.

Indoors, Ekman has jumped 1.96 meters.
