Swedish-Norwegian finish again - without controversy

Suldan Hassan won the Göteborgsvarvet half marathon for the second year in a row, competing against the same Norwegian as last year. There was no controversy after the finish line.

Suldan Hassan won by one second over Sondre Nordstad Moen.

“I felt strong at the end, especially,” Hassan says in a press release.

Last year, they finished with the same time. The Norwegian, who had been six hundredths of a second faster, was later disqualified after extending his arm to stop Hassan during the run.

Meraf Bahta won the women's race by a margin of 58 seconds over her Swedish compatriot Samrawit Mengstab in the 20-mile race. Dane Sylvia Kiberenge was a further eleven seconds behind.
