Sprinter Julia Henriksson delivered a super race and set a new Swedish record on the 200 meters indoors when she won the Swedish Championship gold during the athletics competitions in Växjö.

The time 22,84 is an improvement of nearly two tenths of a second from her previous record, which was 23,03.

The new Swedish record time also matches the best time in Europe this year.

I hope it will go fast this summer, under 22,50 is the goal. It's just a matter of continuing to work on it. On the 200, I need to work on my endurance and on the 100 on the start. So it's just a matter of continuing to work, says Henriksson to Friidrottskanalen.

The 24-year-old had her major breakthrough last year, when she broke the Swedish outdoor record by running at a time of 22,69.

My goal is to reach the World Championship final this summer. That's what I'm striving for, says Henriksson.

The runner-up in the race, Nora Lindahl, ran at a time of 23,00, also under the previous record.
