Superstar Armand Duplantis gets company from a family member in the Finnkampen this weekend. Little sister Johanna Duplantis will represent Sweden in the pole vault competition at Stockholm Stadium.
SportsThe Swedish team for the athletics World Championship in Tokyo is growing. An additional 13 athletes, including sprinter Julia Henriksson and Henrik Larsson, are now pre-nominated, writes the Swedish Athletics Association in a press release.
SportsThe teenager Elna Wester goes from success to success. For the second time in June, she lowered her personal best on 400 meters – despite the 36-degree heat at the athletics team European Championship in Madrid. In shot put, Fanny Roos was third and again over 19 meters, while Henrik Larsson struck with a cannon time on 100 meters.
SportsSeptember 13 is the time for the World Championship in athletics in Tokyo. And now the Swedish Athletics Association has released 14 names that can already start preparing. Among others, high jump talent Engla Nilsson is on the list.
SportsFanny Roos had the best competition of her career in the Diamond League gala in Shanghai. The 30-year-old set a Swedish record, 19.66, and also had four more throws over 19 meters when she ended up third.
SportsThat Armand Duplantis would take home the season premiere of Diamond League in Chinese Xiamen was no giant shock. But that he would not take himself over six meters was all the more surprising. The Swede won the competition on a somewhat pale 5.92.
SportsLast year, Armand Duplantis launched his "world record year" in China. Now the world's best athlete is back in Xiamen and the pole vaulter is the brightest star at the Diamond League premiere.
SportsFanny Roos finished fourth in the World Championship final in shot put in Nanjing – just like at the European Championship in Apeldoorn a couple of weeks ago. The top three are in a class of their own, she says to TV4.
