The Sprint Comet Approaches a Legendary Record

Julia Henriksson is the Swedish sprint comet of the year. At the Stockholm Diamond League gala, she provided new evidence of this.

Henriksson finished second in the 200-meter race with a new personal best of 22.89 – seven hundredths of a second from Linda Haglund's Swedish record from 1979.

Reigning world champion Shericka Jackson, Jamaica, won the race with a time of 22.69.
