Today, the athletic season started sneakily. Cross-country and three-step jumpers gathered in Stockholm, Karlstad and Gothenburg. In the women's long jump it was between Kaiza Karlén - who competed in Karlstad - against the winner Tilde Johansson in Gothenburg.
A fight that 19-year-old Johansson won after jumping 6.20.
A different reality for the long jump talent from Falkenberg. Last year, Tilde Johansson got to go to the Doha Athletics World Championships and was very topical for the Tokyo Olympics. But instead the season started off with a short track competition at Slottskogsvallen.
- It's super fun to get some competition feeling. Just wearing race clothes and running a long warm-up will give you some adrenaline, she says.
- I had put together a plan to qualify for the Olympics. But it is not a disaster for me, I am only 19 years old and hopefully I have the chance to come further.
In just a week she will take the student from the nature program and then she will invest in athletics full time. But she is calmer than most.
- Of course I go to some student parties but I go home earlier and drink nothing. So it's calmer on that front. You have to prioritize what you want and I think athletics is so fun so I have no problem prioritizing anything else. It's something I want to live with and have as a job in the future. I want to see how far I can go.
