Ståhl second in Sollentuna: "I'm on my way"

Shorter throws than in the European Championship final and he couldn't cope with Kristjan Ceh. Still, discus star Daniel Ståhl was fairly pleased. It was closer technically compared to in Rome last time, says the 31-year-old after finishing second at the Sollentuna-GP.

Shorter throws than in the European Championship final and he didn't get the better of Kristjan Ceh.

Still, discus star Daniel Ståhl was fairly pleased.

It was closer to technically compared to in Rome last time, says the 31-year-old after finishing second at the Sollentuna-GP.

Already OS-selected Daniel Ståhl didn't impress in Sollentuna.

The Swede started with two fouls, followed up with a modest 62.87 meters, and then fouled again.

His fifth throw was his longest.

But 66.55 wasn't enough to win the competition at Sollentunavallen – as he usually does – only managing a second place behind European Championship gold medallist Kristjan Ceh from Slovenia.

Ståhl was, despite everything, fairly pleased and felt that the throws were better than in the European Championship final in Rome, where he finished fourth.

I feel I'm on the way, but it was sloppy to make two fouls at the start and then 62 meters with a half-hearted throw. It's coming. I need to train a bit more, he says to SVT.

Sprinter Julia Henriksson impressed at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

And despite barely resting since the championship in Italy, she showed that her form was well preserved.

With 11.25, the 23-year-old finished second in the 100 meters.

I'm really happy with the time, she says to SVT.

This is what I train for all the time, to be able to match the big girls. It's fun to run so fast. The times are coming and the development just keeps going.

European Championship fifth-placer Andreas Kramer came strong at the end and won the 800 meters ahead of Edmund du Plessis, South Africa, and Luke Boyes, Australia.
