Wilma Nielsen is now the second fastest Swedish woman on the 800 meters indoors. In Boston, she ran in 2.01,23 and approached Maria Akraka's long-lived Swedish record.

Akraka recorded the time 2.00,01 in 1998.

Despite a lap in the legs and pushes at the beginning of the race, it was a personal indoor record again. Nice to be second of all time, says Wilma Nielsen to friidrott.se.

In Gothenburg, shot putters Wictor Petersson and Jesper Arbinge pushed each other to long throws.

Petersson had his best competition in three years when the shot landed after 20,70 meters. Arbinge squeezed in the last round to 20,22, a personal indoor record with 29 centimeters.
