22-year-old sprinter Claudia Payton has had a great start to the season.

She warmed up before the European Championships by taking the Swedish Championship gold indoors.

And in Torun, Poland, she impressed in the trials.

From lane one, she finished second in the race and advanced directly to the semifinals.

Not only that - she lowered her personal record from 7.30 to 7.28.

The semi-final will be decided later today, around 13.30, and will be broadcast on SVT Play.
